The Rest of College Football

Donny Osmond will pay

Jim McElwain 'retired' today as Central Michigan's football coach. Central beat Western Michigan last night 16-14 for their first win at home vs Western in a very long time. The Chips have been destroyed by injuries this year, having to replace the entire offensive line, and last night they had to start the 4th string QB.

McElwain got the Chips into a couple bowl games at the beginning of his tenure, but the last 3 years have not been so good. This was probably a gentle 'nudge' out the door, so that the Central AD wouldn't have to fire him. "Retire, or be fired".

McElwain will remain at CMU in an advisory position. Doubtful he'll receive any new coaching offers.

I'd like to see Central make the first phone call for a replacement to Tony Annese, the HC over at Ferris State. Tony is a dogged recruiter, and has coached the Bulldogs to 1 National Title, and several appearances in the NCAA Division II playoffs.

Tony played HS ball here in my area at Corunna HS, and Corunna's football field is named after his dad, Nick Annese.

Annese's record at Ferris is 132-21
