From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jeff Genyk (August 22, 1960) is the head football coach at Eastern Michigan University. In 2004, his team went 4-4 in the Mid-American Conference, and posted high offensive numbers. From 1994 to 2003, he served as an assistant football coach at Northwestern University. The Wildcats won three Big Ten championships during that time. He has also coached at Grand Rapids Community College. From 1978 to 1981, he was the starting quarterback at Bowling Green State University.

[edit] Loss of Popularity at EMU

In 2006, after a 1-11 finish in the regular season, the Eagle fans of EMU began to call for the firing of Coach Genyk. After a contract extension was signed, however, the fans were crestfallen. Since then, even at basketball games, fans have begun to chant, "Fire Genyk!" during EMU sporting events.
