Scot Loeffler is taking on a new green next football season.
The Bowling Green head coach jumped at the chance to claim a job with the Eagles as their quarterbacks coach, the university announced Friday.
This will be Loeffler’s second gig in the NFL following six seasons with Bowling Green, which included three straight bowl appearances from 2022-24 and most recently going to the 68 Ventures Bowl this past season.
The former Michigan quarterback spent one season with the Lions as their quarterbacks coach in 2008.
“BGSU is a special university and community that truly embraces relationships, people and the student experience,” Bowling Green athletic director Derek van der Merwe said in a statement. “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.”
In Loeffler’s first three seasons with the Falcons, he could not guide the team to more than four wins.
However, things turned around in 2022 when the program earned its first bowl game appearance since 2015.
In each of the following two seasons, he posted a 7-6 record.
He holds an overall 27-41 record with the Falcons, including a 20-25 mark in MAC conference games.
Loeffler will join an already hyped-up Eagles locker room after they buried the Chiefs, 40-22, in Super Bowl 2025 on Feb. 9 to grab the franchise’s second title.
The Eagles lost offensive coordinator Kellen Moore following the big win, as he was selected for the Saints’ head coaching vacancy.
Nick Sirianni has since filled the role internally by promoting Kevin Patullo — formerly the team’s passing game coordinator.
It will be Patullo’s first time serving as an offensive coordinator, and Loeffler’s fresh and extensive college experience will be of aid.
Loeffler also served as an offensive coordinator at top programs such as Auburn (2012), Virginia Tech (201-15) and Boston College (2016-18).
Loeffler will be a new face to greet a polished Jalen Hurts, who delivered when it mattered in the playoffs and threw 221 yards for two touchdowns and one interception in the Super Bowl.
He also ran for 72 yards on 11 carries and had a signature “tush push” touchdown.
Across Loeffler’s career, including spanning back to his time as a student assistant at Michigan in 1996 and also included stints with Central Michigan, Florida, Temple, Auburn, Virginia Tech, and Boston College, he has coached eight quarterbacks who went on to play in the pros.
