Briggs: Here's the unheard-of promise BG coach Scot Loeffler made his bosses

BOWLING GREEN — Most college football coaches prefer to be less tied down than a Kardashian, never saying never when it comes to the possibility of leaving for another job.

Bowling Green’s Scot Loeffler is not most coaches.

Talking to him this week, he revealed something I’m not sure I’ve ever heard a coach say.

When he was hired at Bowling Green in November, 2018, know what he told his bosses?

“I promised this place that I would stay here five years,” Loeffler said.

Promised?

“Guaranteed,” he said.

And to put his money where his mouth was, he agreed to anchor his contract with the costliest buyout in the Mid-American Conference.
