Scot Loeffler leaving Bowling Green to become quarterbacks coach for the Philadelphia Eagles
BOWLING GREEN, Ohio (AP) — Bowling Green coach Scot Loeffler is leaving the Falcons after six seasons to become the Philadelphia Eagles' quarterbacks coach, the school announced Friday.
Loeffler had a 27-41 record at Bowling Green but led the Falcons to back-to-back winning seasons in 2023-24 and three straight bowl games. A national search has begun for his replacement.
'In these last six seasons, Scot built a very successful program in a challenging climate in collegiate sports,' Bowling Green athletic director Derek van der Merwe said. '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.'
Loefler's hiring comes after the Super Bowl champion Eagles promoted Kevin Patullo to offensive coordinator following the departure of Kellen Moore, who became the New Orleans Saints' head coach.
Loeffler's coaching career has included 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.
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.

(AP Photo/Tyler Tate) MEXICO CITY (AP) — The Mexican national soccer team will change hotels in Los Angeles ahead of their Gold Cup match on Saturday because of safety concerns amid the protests against immigration raids in the city, a team spokesman said Tuesday. Mexico will play its opening match in the regional tournament against the Dominican Republic at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood. Advertisement The team had a hotel reserved in downtown Los Angeles but governing body CONCACAF has allowed for a change to an undetermined hotel, Mexican team spokesman Fernando Schwartz told The Associated Press. CONCACAF, which runs soccer in North America, Central America and the Caribbean, has not made an official announcement. The protests began Friday in downtown Los Angeles after federal immigration authorities arrested more than 40 people across the city. On Sunday, crowds blocked a major freeway and set self-driving cars on fire as police responded with tear gas, rubber bullets and flash-bang grenades. On Monday, President Donald Trump ordered another 2,000 National Guard troops along with 700 Marines to be sent to Los Angeles. Advertisement Mexico coach Javier Aguirre was reluctant to talk about the protests at a news conference on Monday in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, where the team is scheduled to play in a friendly match against Turkey on Tuesday. 'I'm not going to talk about Los Angeles, I told you no, we are talking about sports here.' Aguirre said. 'I can't express myself right now. We have a match against Turkey, and I don't have any information. I know what we see on television. We're thousands of miles away, and I can't express myself.' After the match against the Dominican Republic, Mexico will fly to Arlington, Texas, to play Suriname and then close out the first round of the tournament against Costa Rica in Las Vegas. ___ AP soccer:
