The Athletic: MAC coaching hot seats

Quote:MAC

Tom Arth, Akron: Another product of coaching factory John Carroll, the former NFL QB was 40-8 as the head coach at his alma mater before two seasons at Chattanooga (9-13) before jumping into a tough job in the MAC. He went 0-12 in 2019, went 1-5 last year with the lone win a blowout of Bowling Green, and is 1-4 with that victory over FCS Bryant. This is a school with good facilities by MAC standards with one of the best stadiums in the league. Also of note: The athletic director who hired Arth is no longer running the show. Temperature check: Very warm.

Scot Loeffler, Bowling Green: He was 3-14 going into this season, and that included a blowout loss to winless Akron last season. However, they played a pretty good South Alabama team close and then beat an FCS opponent before shocking Minnesota at the Gophers’ place as a 30.5-point underdog. That definitely cooled off his seat, and keep in mind, he’s at a school that doesn’t have much money to make any big moves. Temperature check: Lukewarm and cooling.

Chuck Martin, Miami of Ohio: He hasn’t had a losing season in MAC play since 2015 — his second year on the job. Overall, he’s 34-49 in what has proven to be a pretty up-and-down tenure. The RedHawks are 2-3 after a tough start to their schedule but are coming off a win over Central Michigan. If they can get around .500, he probably will be safe, but he’s been here awhile, and some folks around there may be tempted for some change. Temperature check: Not that warm.

Thomas Hammock, Northern Illinois: The former NIU running back was 5-13 in his first two seasons at a place that has had a lot of success. He is off to a decent start this season, though, with a nice road win at Georgia Tech and beating Eastern Michigan, which was 3-1, to go to 3-2. NIU is one of the better jobs in the MAC with good resources. Temperature check: Warm, but cooling off.

Tim Albin, Ohio: He took over for Frank Solich right before the season and is 1-4 at a place with some of the best resources in the MAC. If there’s more of a feeling that this program is backsliding, they’ll likely find someone else. The Bobcats did whip Akron last week, so maybe they can get some momentum from here. Temperature check: Pretty warm.
