Standard Intro: As requested by the commentariat, I’ve put together a list of most of the potential head coaching candidates that we discussed here at RCT during the offseason. You can find the links to those articles here, and here is the first post and explanation for why so-and-so is or isn’t on the list.
Our triple-option guys had some issues this weekend, with Army and Navy both suffering overtime defeats. However, Army’s loss at Oklahoma may be the most impressive showing we had this past weekend.
Eastern Michigan suffered yet another heartbreaking loss; of EMU’s 15 losses since the beginning of the 2016 campaign, 10 have been by less than one score (and 5 have gone to overtime). Even in defeat, I’m more and more impressed with Chris Creighton, especially if you consider what he came into in Ypsilanti.
Maryland is a surprising 3-1, at least, it’s surprising to me. And North Texas continues to win; Seth Littrell may have his pick of job offers at the end of this season.
Once again, in alphabetical order:

And as always, obviously Jim Harbaugh goes to the top of that list if Michigan is dumb and fires him after they go 8-5 again this year.
