Urban Meyer on new Bowling Green coach Scot Loeffler, one of his former assistants at Florida: "I love Bowling Green, will always be a Falcon. Scot's outstanding. He's an Ohio guy. That's a key to energize that area. I've got a great feel for that one. I'm glad he got it."

Bowling Green announces Boston College offensive coordinator Scot Loeffler is its next coach. I heard early today that Loeffler, not Notre Dame special teams coordinator Brian Polian, had emerged as the top candidate for the BG job. Loeffler coached in the MAC at Central Michigan and spent many years at Michigan, including as offensive coordinator.

From 2012 to 2015, Bowling Green went 36-19 under two men -- Dave Clawson and Dino Babers -- who had previous head-coaching experience. I'd expect the school to seek the same in its next coach. Some potential candidates who fit the profile: Notre Dame special teams coordinator Brian Polian, Mount Union coach Vince Kehres, Ohio State co-offensive coordinator Kevin Wilson, James Madison coach Mike Houston and Fresno State offensive coordinator Kalen DeBoer. Others without HC experience include Notre Dame assistants Mike Elston and Clark Lea, and Northwestern assistant Matt MacPherson.
