Eddie George was pondering the next steps in his burgeoning career as a college football coach while driving back from the NFL scouting combine. He got a sign in the most unlikely of places.

Eddie George was driving through Bowling Green, Ky., when Urban Meyer messaged him about a job at Bowling Green State University in Ohio. A sign?

It was practically spring time when Dell McGee left for Georgia State to take over for Shawn Elliott. George admitted the timing to leave Tennessee State for Bowling Green was not ideal, but the opportunity for the 1995 Heisman Trophy winner out of Ohio State was simply too good to pass up.
