We probably wouldn’t have all of the new upgrades, and the massive investments from donors, if it wasn’t for him. He seems like a great guy, and I’ve never heard a bad word about him from players, coaches, family members, and what not.

With that being said, the results have left a lot to be desired, and he needs to be held accountable. We haven’t had a decent defense since 2018, and I really don’t see that changing this season either. For all of his terrific wins against Big Ten teams, we rarely beat anyone good in the MAC. And the obvious elephant in the room is all of the close games he’s lost over the years.

At some point, we have to accept that he is a great program changer and leader, but not a great in-game coach. This is a big year for him. I think I need to see at least 7 wins to have any confidence in him moving forward. Another 4 or 5 win season would be disastrous, and I would think it’s time to move on.

You nailed it 10000 percent! The past 5 seasons he has a below .500 record, and also A losing MAC record! His job is to win football games, and we've next season 20 returning starters, out of 22! That's 91 percent returning! 8 wins in year 8, or it's time to move on.........Your best Statement was he needs to be held accountable! CC has done wonderful things, he's a great leader, but it's time to compete for the MAC title this season!

Improvement is measured on a yard stick, if you will, depending on where someone (or team) started.

EMU FB will always have its own measuring stick. We're not Toledo or WMU or CMU which has had some great highlights over the years. Hint: WMU went to a New Year's bowl and CMU beat MSU twice.

C.C. took a team which was on its own 2 yard line. The program was disintegrating esp. after the death of Reed.
