Bowling Green head coach Scot Loeffler resigned to become quarterbacks coach of the Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles on Friday.

Loeffler, 50, spent the past six seasons at Bowling Green. He replaces Doug Nussmeier, who followed former offensive coordinator Kellen Moore to New Orleans, where he is the new coach of the Saints.

The Falcons were 7-6 in 2024 and 27-41 with three bowl game appearances during Loeffler's tenure.

The former Michigan quarterback was an NFL quarterback coach with the Detroit Lions in 2008 and has extensive coaching experience in college, including working under Urban Meyer at Florida.

Bowling Green is beginning the search process for its next head coach.

"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."
