Edgar Flores is beginning his fourth season as an assistant coach with Georgia State. Flores, serving as second assistant, came to the Panthers in 2007 from Oxford College of Emory University in Oxford, Ga. where he served as head coach from 2001 to 2007, compiling an impressive 75-34-8 record. During his first season as an assistant at Georgia State, the Panthers improved by four wins. In 2008, he helped the Panthers to their first back-to-back winning record since joining the Colonial Athletic Association.

In 2007, Flores coached the Galloway school to its first-ever state playoff berth and a sweet 16 appearance. Flores led Galloway to the school's first championship, when they were awarded the Area Ten regular season title. He also spent time coaching at the club level for GSA and helping a team at Inter Atlanta. Two of the three teams he coached won their league titles, after losing a combined one game. During this time, his teams have won multipled tournaments, including the Atlanta Cup, the Lightning Showcase, the Peach Classic, and Germantown. His record over the last two years on the club level in Georgia is 55-15-14, helping teams to three promotions. Coach Flores takes pride in helping players get better at the club level. "I find tremendous joy in helping players with their overall development. I want the players to trust that I can help them get better," said Flores.

Flores led Oxford College to its most successful season in 2006 by losing only two matches and capturing the District and Regional titles. The Eagles fought their way to the National Final Four semi-finals, losing on penalty kicks. The team remained undefeated against Division III competition during the season. Oxford was ranked #1 in the nation by the NJCAA for the final six weeks of the season.

During his time as head coach, Flores guided the Oxford program to back-to-back Regional NJCAA Division I Championship Final Four appearances, in spite of being the only non-scholarship program in the Region at the time. Under Flores, Oxford shattered team records in goals scored, team goals-against average, shutouts, and All-Region and All-American selections. Flores produced more than 16 All-Region Players, an impressive 18 NJCAA Academic All-Americans, one NJCAA Division I All-American, three NJCAA Division III All-Americans, and two NSCAA All-Americans. His teams also traveled internationally and conducted preseason training at top soccer academies in Argentina, Brazil, and Spain.

Flores has also coached on the club level in Florida and Georgia, highlighted by a State Club Championship while coaching with the Blue Angels Club in Miami. Flores holds the NSCAA's Advanced National Diploma, National Diploma, and Euro 1996 Match Analysis Diploma.
