Man, will the season ever start?

Meanwhile, let's have some fun and see if we can compile a pair representing each school. Remember, this is just for laughs (especially for assigning the infamous ones), so no one should get bent out of shape.
These are football people who at some time were either students or coaches in the MAC.

AKRON - Infamous: Jerry Faust; Famous: guy before Jerry Faust
BALL ST - Famous: Dave McClain
BOWLING GREEN - Infamous: Denny Stoltz
BUFFALO -
CENTRAL FLORIDA -
CENTRAL MICHIGAN - Famous: Tyrone Willingham; Infamous: Roy Kramer
EASTERN MICHIGAN -
KENT STATE - Famous: Don James; Infamous: Lou Holtz
MARSHALL - Famous: Jim Donnan; Infamous: Sonny Randle
MIAMI - Depending upon your point of view, these can be switched. Famous: Bo ; Infamous: Woody
NORTHERN ILLINOIS - Famous: Bill Mallory; Infamous: Lee Corso
OHIO - Famous: Bill Hess
TOLEDO - Infamous: Nick Saban
WESTERN MICHIGAN -

Add/edit as you see fit.

Bowling Green: Famous Don Nehlen.

See me in December, when NIU's famous might be Joe Novak.

Bowling Green infamous: Dino Dawson.

I think Stoltz's daughter was in one or two of my classes when I was an undergrad (same last name) Great rack but dumber than a box of rocks. I understand she went on to become the mayor of Huntington, WV.....

Where will you be in December, smelly mutt? when da Rockets take on the Miami birdies

Do you think I'm just gonna let you get away with knocking Sonny Randle?!?!?!

What about the cradle of coaches most favorite son?

Tim Rose.

While Don James was Kent's last great (and perhaps only great coach), if you count students, the famous title has to go to Jack Lambert. As much as it pains us Browns fans to recall, this Steelers six time all pro and Hall of Famer played for the Flashes. He played with Nick Saben for Don James, as matters of fact.

Yes, once upon a time, in a land far, far away, KSU actually had a decent football program.

Gary Pinkel was the TE for that Kent team, as well.

And with that kind of talent, they could still only manage 1 MACC in 7 years!!!

Uh, actually, that's 1 in about 80 years. :(

Can we talk about something else?
Did you know we went to the Elite 8 in 2002?
How 'bout that British Open?
:D

Under the infamous, Buddy Ryan was an assistant coach at UB in the early 60's.

Okie, since this is all in good fun it probably doesn't matter much what we plug in here, but although Woody did indeed make a very brief stop in Oxford (and win a bowl game), he didn't go to or play for Miami.....now, with Bo that's a different story, since he played offensive line at MU, and coached us around 4 or 5 years. Guess we have to take "credit" for him (I always found him to be something of a whiner myself, hence he wasn't one of my favorite coaches).

In the MU famous category, there are many notables you could pick, but I'd put Ara at the top, both for what he accomplished at Miami as a coach and a player, and what he accomplished later at Northwestern and ND.
