NASHVILLE - Tennessee State has scheduled a Tuesday news conference for a “major announcement,” with former NFL running back Eddie George expected to be introduced as the new football coach. “After thoroughly evaluating the state of the TSU football program, we’ve decided that it was time to make a change in leadership,” said athletic director Mikki Allen, who was hired a year ago. His best season was 2013 when the Tigers went 10-4 — their best record since 2001. The Tigers have had three straight losing seasons, including 2-5 this year with a 43-26 loss to Southeast Missouri State on Sunday. George, a four-time Pro Bowl running back with the Tennessee Titans and the 1995 Heisman Trophy winner, has not coached before.
