The quote below is from the article announcing his hiring. My response to the quote is at the end.
"Coach McElwain recruits outstanding student-athletes and gets the best out of them," director of athletics Michael Alford said in a statement. "He motivates his players and holds them accountable. He expects them to practice hard, win, go to class, graduate and be strong members of our community."

Central Michigan was the team that Spurrier hung 82 on back in the day. We should schedule them, and pound the s**t out of Mac. Wonder if he hires Nuss as well? Lol

In your opinion, what was the biggest difference between Muschamp and McElwain?
“I think his biggest thing, where he started losing us [players], was because he wasn't consistent. There was a problem with players showing up late to meetings, practices, workouts, whatever. MAC saw it was getting ridiculous so we have a meeting and he made it this big deal where he said that the next time someone is late, he doesn't care who it is, they won't dress for the next game. The next damn day – that shows you how the respect wasn't there – a starter who came in when he wanted, and was late all the damn time, came in late and he still traveled and played. When you see that happen, you start saying to yourself, 'Why am I gonna bust my ass to be on time and do what's right if it doesn't matter?' There was just no accountability. That starter was one of MAC's guys. He came in with him. He wanted the players he brought in to succeed so bad that he overlooked a lot with them. That caused some dissension. Don't get me wrong, that happens, coaches have favorites, but how do you turn your back on that after saying the day before it wasn't going to be accepted from then on? There's going to be favorites, but you can't be so obvious about it and it can be covered when you're winning, but if it comes to light when you're losing, people start pointing fingers and questioning it."

Bengals will hire Hue Jackson in a few weeks.It's just the way football is, both college and pro. A guy gets fired, and some other team comes along immediately and goes "Well he sucked for them, but he'll be awesome for us!"
If you are Central Mich, I don't know why you don't hire an upcoming coordinator or 1AA coach instead of a known loser. How hard is it to figure out what this guy is? Hell google would do it for you.

C.Michigan's last decent coach quit to go be a coordinator somewhere else.
Get these guys on the schedule.

Yeah, they clearly don’t care enough to even pay attention. Just parrot a cliche and act as if you’re confident. As Ox said, he’s a name in the circle. That’s all that matters. In their eyes, he’s a homerun. It’s maddening.

It's all relative. They wanted a splash hire. No one else was going to be interested. Mac has a pair of SEC Championship appearances on his resume. They bit. They are his ticket back into head coaching.
He's there, but he'll have a hard time getting an upgrade without a thorough revamp. He's emotionally insecure. I don't think he's capable of it.

There are no sharks in the great lakes. He's going to be disappointed having to settle for a muskie.

I embarrassed myself with an audible laugh on this.

For a school like Central Michigan the possibility of increasing popcorn sales might have been just what they wanted all along.
