Scot Loeffler has signed a multi-year extension to remain at Bowling Green, the program announced Thursday.
The deal pays him $1.74 million over the next three seasons.
"I am excited to partner with to continue the process of building this program," said Bowling Green Director of Athletics Derek van der Merwe. "Scot has done what he said he was going to do - build a program the right way. BGSU football has had some monumental wins in the last few years, including two important wins coming against our rival Toledo. This contract extension is a commitment to Scot, his vision, and the culture he is building in this program. I am looking forward to working with him to move this program forward."
Loeffler is 13-29 in four seasons on the job, but his fourth season was the most promising yet. The Falcons went 6-7 overall, but 5-3 in MAC play and reached the Quick Lane Bowl.
The 2022 campaign stands as BG's best since 2015, when the Falcons won 10 games and the MAC title.
Loeffler is also the first BG coach to secure two wins over Toledo in his first four tries since 1991.
"My staff and family are excited to continue our plan at BGSU," said Loeffler. "Our staff and players have worked extremely hard on a very big rebuild project. All of us are ready to take the next steps with this program. We appreciate all the support of Dr. Rogers, Derek van der Merwe, the athletic department, the faculty, the community, the fans and the former BGSU players. We will work relentlessly to take the next steps in our program."
Loeffler, 48, is in his first head coaching job. The former Michigan quarterback previously served as the offensive coordinator at Temple, Auburn, Virginia Tech and Boston College.
BG completed spring football back on March 3. The Falcons open the 2023 campaign Sept. 2 at Liberty.
