A Coach no one knows of that likely will get a bigger job this offseason

Chris Creighton of Eastern Michigan

He's known as a slow program builder, tears it down and builds it from the ground up, he did that at Eastern Michigan

The results for the first 2 years were not much different than usual for Eastern Michigan and now this year he's hit a breakthrough.

Eastern Michigan is 5-2 and they just beat the best team in the Mac East on the road. Eastern Michigan is one win away from a bowl and is having their best season since 1987.

This is pretty amazing Eastern Michigan is quite possibly the toughest job in college football and he's made it look easy.

Creighton may not get one of the big jobs but a mid level power 5 team might end up hiring him.

The Eastern vs Western game next week might turn out to be a pretty good game next week. It is kind of crazy to see how well they are doing this year

It's a very big game for the West division. Eastern Michigan is on quite the roll so they could put up a good fight for that one. It is an amazing season for them that's for sure they've been so bad for so long

They were the Eastern Michigan Hurons the last time they had a season like this

Minnesota could be 7-2 after next 3 weeks. They have worst 3 teams in B1G coming up: vs Rutgers, @ Illinois, vs Purdue

Wow that is the easiest stretch possible in the Big 10

Depends on how under the radar he remains it's possible he's the type of guy Purdue could use to succeed.

They may not want to go the Mac route again, Hazel followed a similar path at Kent State another program where it's difficult to succeed, except Hazel went 11-2 and made the Mac championship that year in what was essentially a play in game for an Orange bowl appearance, lost to Northern Illinois in a close one.

Hmm

I don't know if Minnesota will be open again this offseason

You'd be surprised. Many do not like Claeys. And the offense has been hideous. They had a good weekI must say, but still.

Hurons was one of the best names in college sports. Ypsilanti has "Huron" e'rything.

But before that, the Eagles/Hurons were The Normalites. I shit you not. (Western was once Michigan Normal, Eastern was Michigan State Normal, but we were the Hilltoppers, since Normalites is just weird.)

He could get the Oregon job if and when Helfrich is fired.

When they changed from the Hurons, they should have become the Emus.

The EMU Emus.

Beau Baldwin could definitely be on some school's radar. He's had a really nice run at Eastern Washington.
