BOWLING GREEN, Ohio – Bowling Green State University football head coach Scot Loeffler has accepted a position on the NFL coaching staff (as the quarterback coach) with the Super Bowl-winning Philadelphia Eagles. Loeffler departs BGSU after six seasons, leading the Falcons to three straight bowl games. BGSU has immediately launched a national search for its next head football coach. 
 
"BGSU is a special university and community that truly embraces relationships, people and the student experience," said Vice President for Athletics Strategy Derek van der Merwe. "In these last six seasons, Scot built a very successful program in a challenging climate in collegiate sports.  More importantly, he built this program while ensuring his team and coaches were truly committed to the values and mission that make this university great. Like other great coaches in the history of BGSU football, he has demonstrated that when you build around the strengths of this University and its mission, anything is possible. I am looking forward to this process of finding the next great leader for our program who embraces what it means to be a Falcon."       
  
"Coach Loeffler has made a tremendous impact in rebuilding and reshaping BGSU Football, developing student-athletes and growing engagement across our learning community and the region," said BGSU President Rodney K. Rogers. "Scot has been dedicated to not only BGSU Football, but to all our student-athletes and BGSU Athletics, as well as our Falcon Marching Band and spirit programs. He cares deeply about player development and student success, and we wish him all the best as he continues his coaching career in the NFL with the Super Bowl-winning Philadelphia Eagles." 
 
Since arriving at BGSU in November 2018, Loeffler inherited one of the nation's most challenging rebuilding projects, as both the Falcons' offense and defense ranked near the bottom nationally in production the season before his arrival. 
 
In 2024, Loeffler led BGSU to his third win over Toledo in six tries, making him the first BGSU head coach since Gary Blackney (1992, 1994) to lead the Falcons to back-to-back victories at the Glass Bowl. Loeffler is the first BGSU head coach to hold a winning record at the Glass Bowl against Toledo since Doyt Perry, who went 5-0. 
 
Loeffler's coaching career, which spans back to his time as a student assistant at Michigan during the 1996 season, includes stops at Michigan, Central Michigan, Florida, Temple, Auburn, Virginia Tech and Boston College. He also spent a year coaching the quarterbacks for the Detroit Lions.

Throughout his career, Loeffler has coached eight quarterbacks who went on to play in the NFL – Tom Brady, Tim Tebow, Brian Griese, Chad Henne, Drew Henson, John Navarre, Logan Thomas and Anthony Brown. Those eight quarterbacks have won a combined 10 Super Bowl championships.
