Carl Pelini retained by new Bowling Green head coach Scot Loeffler

There will be at least two very familiar faces for returning players when it comes to Bowling Green’s new coaching staff.

After Mike Jinks was fired as the MAC football program’s head coach in the middle of October, Carl Pelini served as the interim head coach for the remainder of the season. Monday, just a handful of days after being hired, Scot Loeffler confirmed that Pelini will be retained as the Falcons’ defensive coordinator.

Additionally, the program also announced that Jacob Schoonover, who was the linebackers coach for the Falcons during the past season, will also return for his second year at Bowling Green.

On top of those retentions, Bowling Green also confirmed five new hires to Loeffler’s first staff:


  • Terry Malone (offensive coordinator/offensive line)
  • Chris Hedden (running backs)
  • Erik Campbell (wide receivers)
  • Max Warner (quarterbacks)
  • Louie Addazio (tight ends)
