Central Michigan was one of the bigger surprises of the 2020 football season, with new head coach Jim McElwain taking the Chippewas from one win to eight and the MAC Championship game. Vegas had the win totals at five, so clearly McElwain exceeded all expectations. McElwain may not have succeeded at Florida, where he might be best remembered as being misidentifed as the naked guy on the shark, but his record at Colorado State and thus far at Central Michigan is nothing to laugh at.
But in 2020, McElwain has to find a new starting quarterback.
