McElwain to the Chimps?
Bonamego was recently let go after a 1-11, 0-8 MAC season. This is then first I’ve even heard McElwain was a candidate for CMUs head coaching opening.

Oh god no. First sharks now monkeys?
November 29th, 2018 at 9:39 PM ^
Chimps are apes … just sayin'
November 29th, 2018 at 10:47 PM ^
If it doesn”t have a tail, it”s not a monkey, if it doesn’t have a tail, it”s an ape.

Life lessons of Veggie Tales!
November 29th, 2018 at 10:59 PM ^
But where is my hair brush?
November 30th, 2018 at 7:55 AM ^
Mods, please delete this overtly racist thread. Comparing the proud, indigenous tribe of Chippewa Indians to sub-human primates is unacceptable. In fact, it is simply ape-palling.

You're not gonna get some monkey pussy on Tuesday and then be like, I'm gonna call Charlene on Thursday!

“Hey, dog, we’re gonna go to the club, pick up some girls, you trying to roll?”
”No, man, I’m cool. ”I’m gonna stay home, chill with my monkey. ”You know how long it took me to train this monkey… ”to suck my dick… ”without peeling it? ”Last night, Chimp-chimp jerked me off with his feet. ”$&@$, only a monkey can show you that kind of love and tenderness. ”So you all keep fucking these people if you want, $&@$. ”No, it’s monkey pussy for me.”

I don't recall this lesson from Veggie Tales.
November 30th, 2018 at 7:16 AM ^
Sounds like somebody's excited.
November 29th, 2018 at 9:38 PM ^
That's how Ebola started.

Signed in to upvote. Realized I couldn't. Well done, sir

Hall of Fame post! You've won the internet for the day!
November 29th, 2018 at 9:38 PM ^
Fire up chimps
November 29th, 2018 at 9:39 PM ^
This would be a good move for both McElwain and Central. He's certainly capable of getting that program back to sniffing MAC Championships. He's probably better suited for that than for bigger apes like UF...
November 29th, 2018 at 9:48 PM ^
Frankly, I think this hire would be bananas.
November 29th, 2018 at 10:02 PM ^
Stop monkeying around with this rumor.
November 29th, 2018 at 10:35 PM ^
You don't think he could climb all the way from WR coach to head coach? I think he can swing that.
November 30th, 2018 at 7:37 AM ^
Sheesh, every time one of these quip sub-threads gets started, it's monkey see, monkey do...
November 29th, 2018 at 10:50 PM ^
Why, it probably is quire an ape-pealing offer.
November 29th, 2018 at 11:06 PM ^
B-a-n-a-n-a-s
November 30th, 2018 at 9:25 AM ^
That is not how you spell ape, you dufus.
November 29th, 2018 at 9:42 PM ^
With a move move away from the ocean, a predator must find new prey.
Kidding aside: McElwain helped unlock our receivers this year, and he seemed to mesh well with the coaches.
November 30th, 2018 at 12:11 AM ^
Without a hint of complaint, controversy, or second guessing. Kudos to McElwain
November 30th, 2018 at 1:59 AM ^
I almost feel bad for all the shark jokes.
Almost.
November 30th, 2018 at 2:29 AM ^
Tell me a funny one.
November 30th, 2018 at 6:26 AM ^
Q: Why did the shark cross the ocean?
A: To get to the other tide!
November 29th, 2018 at 9:44 PM ^
Probably a good move for both Coach and CMU.
November 29th, 2018 at 9:45 PM ^
That would be a good hire for CMU. McElwain did really well at CSU.
November 29th, 2018 at 9:55 PM ^
Is saban going to send all the players that couldn't find it within themselves to not smoke weed before a random (not random) drug test to CMU now?

Love how they say outright that scheduling of non-conference games will be determined by revenues generated lol.
November 29th, 2018 at 9:47 PM ^
McElwain to the Pittsburg State Gorillas?
Yes. It's a real thing: https://pittstategorillas.com/
November 29th, 2018 at 9:49 PM ^
I’d be really surprised. He seemed very comfortable in Ann Arbor and happy to be at M. I think he’ll stay where he’s at.
November 30th, 2018 at 2:00 AM ^
As our future OC?
November 30th, 2018 at 2:09 AM ^
What are you talking about? I don't know how much McElwain helped the WRs (they were good overall, so cudos to him), but I do know that every time anyone interviewed he basically said, "I defer to Harbaugh and Pep on everything." I.E. I don't think he plans on being here for long.
Former head coaches don't take jobs as position coaches with the intention of sticking around. If he's leaving, then good luck to him. There's no indication that he would want to hang around in Ann Arbor and just coach WRs for years to come.
November 29th, 2018 at 9:49 PM ^
Chimppewas!
November 30th, 2018 at 2:10 AM ^
was not!
November 29th, 2018 at 9:50 PM ^
Great. Next thing you know there are going to be sharks dancing in the cages at Wayside.
November 29th, 2018 at 9:53 PM ^
I heard everyone in Mt Pleasant knows how to open a banana correctly.
November 29th, 2018 at 9:57 PM ^
Please tell me Harbaugh's making a move to hire Brohm?
November 29th, 2018 at 11:27 PM ^
Is this sarcasm? Must be ....
November 30th, 2018 at 9:48 AM ^
Can you imagine how amazing this offense would look with someone like Brohm running it? Oh man, if only...
November 29th, 2018 at 9:58 PM ^
That's bananas.
November 29th, 2018 at 10:06 PM ^
I believe McIlwain can do much better than CMU
November 29th, 2018 at 10:34 PM ^
Agreed, he just needs another year or two in Ann Arbor. It's riskier taking the CMU job. If he doesn't turn them around quickly, his stock will drop.
November 30th, 2018 at 12:02 AM ^
Maybe an AAC job, but definitely not P5 unless it's a real bottom feeder. His Florida tenure was godawful. In the MAC you can win ten games sometime during a full recruiting cycle and maybe then move up.
November 30th, 2018 at 9:11 AM ^
Like Louisville?
