Bowling Green has turned to Loeffler to lead the BGSU football program into the 2019 season. Loeffler has constructed a staff that includes a former Broyles Award Winner (National Assistant Coach of the Year in Brian VanGorder) and has combined for 200 years of coaching experience. The staff has developed more than 150 players who have gone on to play in the NFL.

Junior running back Andrew Clair returns with almost 1,500 career rushing yards and was recently named Preseason First Team All-MAC by Athlon Sports. The Falcons return 4-of-5 starters along the offensive line, led by preseason All-MAC players Jack Kramer and Lorenzo Taborn. On the defensive side of the ball, senior David Konowalski returns from an injury that kept him out of the entire 2018 season and safety Jerry McBride III is a productive player who recorded 106 tackles a year ago. Both were also named to the Athlon Sports Preseason All-MAC teams.
