I thought since their MACC they’ve been good, but I just looked & they’ve been pretty .500 under him. 1-2 in bowl games. Only one 8 win season. Did take over a bad program but 9 years at the helm. Good match-up vs another 6-6 Birmingham team in this year’s bowl, so we shall see. A loss & you got to start getting annoyed, I think.

His MAC record, if you toss out the first 2 years, is okay, nothing special.

According to the Miami athletic website, Miami is 34-16 in the last 50 MAC games, the best in the MAC.

Yes, but let's be honest the East has been lousy for most of his tenure. Chuck deserves credit for building the program up from an abysmal state, but we should be much better in Year 9 of his regime. Our offense was lousy this season, if the D (which we thought would be weaker this year) didn't significantly outperform expectations we would've been 4-8 easily. His contract expires after next year, imo we should extend him two seasons for the sake of recruiting but with a minimal buyout and force him to replace our OC/other offensive position coaches.

Miami has a lot to offer, so any decent coach should be able to receuit as well as Martin had done. problem is he just can't put it together consistently. Miami should be DOMINATING the EAST. Should have had a CMU, Toledo or NIU run under his tenure. Miami has only been to the MAC title game once in the last 12 years, that should not be acceptable for what they have to offer and the recruits that they have signed.
