Friday vs Central Michigan will be Genyk's last game as coach said EMU athletic Director Dr. Derrick Gragg. According to the Detroit Free Press Gragg put out a press release saying:
"Earlier this morning, after consulting President Susan Martin, I informed coach Jeff Genyk of my decision to move our football program in another direction, at the conclusion of the season"
YCD can't say as we're surprised, this year was supposed to be different, a much better team was expected. The EMU football program never really progressed under Genyk, it kinda stayed mired in that same crappy place it was in when he got here. One thing we WILL say in Mr. Genyk's favor, he cleaned out the nere-do-wells from the EMU football program. Football players at EMU now attend classes and aren't the drunken brawlers of yore. For that he deserves credit, making citizenship while at EMU important.
The Free Press also reports former Michigan coach Lloyd Carr will advise EMU in their search for a new head football coach. This should be OK as long as Eastern never schedules Ohio State.
Genyk had a 15-42 record at Eastern in five years with the Central tilt yet to come....

LOL! There are many that say that any coach from Virginia should also not be considered.
It is my understanding that the coach from Toledo, was also just fired recently. Interesting if there will be any conversations around that. I wouldn't be surprised if Toledo didn't want to keep providing health insurance to this time-bomb. (joke)
good points all glimmertwinfan. I dunno if Amstutz?, the former Toledo coach would want a program inferior to the one he left.
I really thought Genyk was a good hire five years ago. I really thought he was a step forward. I mean on the players off the field citizenship he was but to the on the field product, it was the same old same old....
I think sometimes a coach leaves a program that is ready to make a leap. Like Ed Ogeron (sp?) at Ole Miss. I hope this is the case.
I hope so anonymous, I truly do. I hope Lloyd Carr knows of some hotshot Big Ten coordinator who wants a job here. If Miami of Ohio is the cradle of coaches, Eastern is the cemetery
