I would disagree with some of you about McElwain. First of all he has a mixed bag in his past coaching stops, and even has controversy at Central with his quarterback using a banned substance. If, the Central board is correct, he's interviewing for the Southern Alabama job.
Candle and Lester are mediocre at best, and they are the highest paid in the MAC. If, Illinois is interested in either, I would be surprised.
You mean South Alabama? That would be a lateral move at best with better weather.

Illinois hires Bret Bielema. MAC coaches probably staying put another year unless there's more openings.

The only three openings left are Auburn, Arizona, and Louisiana - Monroe. I doubt any of them will hire a MAC coach - but i wouldnt be shocked if auburn pick off a coach at a school that would hire a MAC coach (Matt campbell for example).

Michigan (a laughingstock now) who basically quit after losing to Penn State, will part ways with Harblow and hire Matt Campbell. That is my prediction.

Solid hire. He should have never left Wisconsin.
