Chuck Martin is in his tenth season as the Miami RedHawks football coach and he’s been through a lot. His early tenure at Miami was marked with one-score losses, including the 2016 season, which had had four of them. The RedHawks started Martin’s third year 0-6, then ripped off six straight wins to get bowl-eligible. They tied for first in the MAC East, but Ohio held the tiebreaker to go to the championship game.
Three seasons later, the RedHawks finally got to Detroit and won the conference championship with a 7-5 regular season record. That 8-6 final record is the high water mark for the RedHawks under Martin, but they’ve been a consistent contender for the MAC East since that season.
