Former NFL running back and ex-Titan Eddie George will be Tennessee State University’s (TSU) new head coach. TSU is an HBCU in Nashville and George’s alma mater, and it’s one of many HBCUs that are hiring high-profile athletes as coaches.
Throughout his life George has worn many hats, as a professional athlete, an actor on Broadway and on television, a businessman and an investment advisor for young athletes, to name a few. The Heisman Trophy winner has never coached before, but he has nine NFL seasons under his belt, running 10,441 yards.
George is still assembling his dream team. It’s rumored that the new defensive coordinator will be Brandon Fisher, who coached six seasons in the NFL. It’s also rumored that George is hoping to get former Cleveland Browns head coach Hue Jackson to be the new offensive coordinator.
George will replace Rod Reed, who has been head coach for 11 seasons.
