t about 7:30 a.m. on Thursday, Athletic Director Dave Heeke received a phone call and some surprising news to start his morning: Head football coach Dan Enos told him he was resigning to take a job as offensive coordinator at the University of Arkansas. “It certainly was not the way I thought I would start my day,” Heeke said. “I don’t know in this business, anymore, if I am ever shocked. I was aware of the opportunity that was out there. My intention was for him to be our football coach moving forward.” Heeke said he and Enos had specific conversations about expectations for the 2015 season leading up to Thursday morning’s phone call. “I’ve talked to Dan everyday since he has been the football coach here,” Heeke said. “We are constantly discussing the state of our football program.” Heeke said he does not take Enos’ decision personally. “I feel good about where our football program is,” Heeke said. “Our new football coach will feel the same way.” Enos informed CMU football players of his resignation at about 10:30 a.m. on Thursday.

Le Tour de Mont Pleasant to host state champs race Eliminates criterium from programming By Ben Solis Staff Reporter

Race directors for Le Tour de Mont Pleasant are planning to make big changes to the 2015 event as they gear up to host a leg of the Michigan Bicycle Racing Association’s state championship. Traditionally a three-day race, this summer’s Le Tour de Mont Pleasant will be just two days. Organizers are eliminating the downtown centered criterium race from the 7th annual Le Tour program. A criterium race —

known in the cycling community as a “crit” — is a lap race usually spanning a mile. Le Tour de Mont Pleasant’s crit looped around the downtown shopping district. Removing the crit allows race directors to focus their sights on the championship, said Lisa Hadden, a co-director and founder of the race. Mount Pleasant’s portion of the MBRA championship is a road race, according to the association’s website. Le Tour de Mont Pleasant holds a road race as part of its normal programming. The Mont Pleasant road race and the state champs will be billed as the same race. “There will be many more people coming to the race on June 13, so we

decided we needed to put our energy toward that and making sure all the rules and guidelines for the state championship are met before the race,” she said. Hadden also is the executive director of the Mid Central Area Health Education Center, housed in Central Michigan University’s Health Education building. She said just because they’re holding off on the crit doesn’t mean it won’t resurface in the main event next year. The 2015 event will continue its road race and time trial. Organizers may expand the event to a cycle-cross race in the fall. Cycle-cross is a form of rough-terrain cycling made popular in Europe, Hadden said. Compounding the issue is Hadden’s own health — she broke her hip in a cycling accident in August. Bowing out on medical leave last semester put extra strain on her fellow organizers in the process. w le tour | 5

Intoxicated student threatens shooting outside Pearce Hall By Malachi Barrett News Editor

Central Michigan University Police concluded an investigation of a student who made threatening comments outside of a class Wednesday in Pearce Hall. The student, who was intoxicated, allegedly disagreed with conversation in the classroom and mumbled about a possible shooting as he walked out of class in Pearce Hall around 3:15 p.m. The student was apprehended by CMUPD officers around 4:05 p.m. He was not armed and not determined a threat to the campus community.

The investigation has been sent to the Isabella County Prosecuting Attorney and the CMU’s Office of Student Conduct, CMU Police Chief Bill Yeagley said. He did not have a weapon when police took him into custody. No one reported seeing a weapon, and a search of his home revealed no weapons, Yeagley said. The investigation found no other evidence of threats or past violence. The student was released and told he cannot attend classes or come on campus until the Office of Student Conduct determines appropriate next steps. He could be arrested for trespassing if he does return to campus.

Students, faculty hoop for a cause Joe Judd Staff Reporter

On a night when basketball was not the main focus, equality and a dream took center stage. Central Michigan University’s Student Activity Center hosted the second annual Martin Luther King Jr. Charity Basketball Game Thursday. A chance for students and faculty to play against each other for a good cause, the event brought a community together. “We started this last year. We used to do bowling but we just wanted to get the community and students more involved,” said Eris Taylor, a CMU alumnus responsible for running the event. “This is a week to give back.” According to Taylor, all the proceeds from the game will go to the Isabella County Soup Kitchen. Donations were not mandatory but encouraged. Taylor has high expectations for the amount of proceeds the event will bring in, after seeing what this event was able to do a year ago. “Our goal this year is to double what we made last year,” he said. “We

We have different ethnicities here. We have all kinds of people on the court playing together and that’s a part of the dream.”

Artists depict their definitions of a hero By Abbie Robinson Staff Photographer

Zombie apocalypses may be fictional, but real health issues can have a harsh bite too. “World War D” is not only a clever twist on the title of a movie staring Brad Pitt, but also the name of an upcoming panel discussion about disease and public health struggles. The panel discussion will cover the struggles and politics of epidemics, health care access, vaccination, and antibiotic resistance. Faculty panelists from the biology department, school of medicine and social sciences, will explain how to face these threats with intelligence. Hosted by Speak Up Speak Out, the event will begin with a short video then move on to the panel discussion on Monday, Jan. 26 in the Charles V. Park Library Auditorium at 7 p.m.

On Thursday afternoon the Central Michigan University Art Gallery hosted the opening reception for their newest exhibition titled “Heroes.” The exhibit featured the artwork of seven artists from across the nation, including an appearance from local artist Brett Sauve of Midland.

Residence halls start using Study Bucks On this day in history, Jan. 23, 1998, Central Michigan Life reported on the start of the Study Bucks program. The program, a campuswide idea that offers incentives to students for studying, was started by Cobb Hall Residence Hall Director Shawn Dwyer. The article reported she got the idea from her staff and some reading she had done in her textbook. The basic premise of the program was when a student was “caught” studying by residence hall staff, they were given a study buck. Students then turned the buck into their RHD. Through the program, they were eligible for prizes in a weekly drawing where they could win anything from t-shirts to money for use in the Down Under Food Court. A monthly drawing winner could win dinner with a professor at a local restaurant. Prizes for the yearly drawing included a free refrigerator or microwave rental or $150 of books from the University Center Bookstore. Hall staff were also eligible for prizes. All the funding for the program came from Residence Life with some discounts from local businesses. Dwyer stated in the article she felt the program was good for relations between hall residents and hall staff. Andrea Peck, Staff Reporter

exhibit. Some art pieces were brightly colored and fun, featuring classic Marvel superheroes. Other pieces feature the faces of everyday people viewed by the artists as heroes. In addition to artwork displayed, the exhibition featured hands-on activities for viewers. Images, from the Mona Lisa to a picture of WonderWoman, were projected onto large sheets of paper pinned to the wall. Visitors were encouraged to draw on the projections, creating their own works of art. The exhibition will be displayed on campus until Feb. 14.

Civil rights dicussed with Soup and Substance panel By Emily DeRuiter Staff Reporter

A demand for the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness echoed through America 52 years ago and is still paving a path to equality. An audience of 50 students filled the Bovee University Center Rotunda Thursday to discuss the belief that America exists as a post-racial society. The event, “Living in a Dream World,” was held as a part of Central Michigan University’s Martin Luther King Jr. week. “It was shocking when they said that there are more black or African-American men incarcerated than there were in slavery before the Civil War,” said Detroit senior Kelsey McKoy. Before the panel discussion, a documentary called “White like Me” showed America’s reaction after President Barack Obama’s first election in 2008. Politicians, newspapers and broadcasters proclaimed racism was over and

America was a post-racial society. “Racism 60 years ago doesn’t look like racism now,” said panelist Amber Johnson, assistant director of Multicultural Academic Student Services. “Racism can be embedded in policy and (political) structure.” The documentary challenged the belief in post-racism with facts concerning today’s racial disparity in wealth, healthcare, housing, education and incarceration statistics. According to panelist and junior Portia Brown, “post-racial” is a political assertion, not reality. “People were saying ‘Everything is okay, we have rights and a black president,’” said Milwaukee junior Leah Townsend. “That was really surprising to me. It seems we have come so far, but we still have so far to go.” Johnson and other panelists brought up issues like education, health reform and affirmative action. They discussed how affirmative action has both good and bad effects on minority groups. “(People) don’t understand what affirmative action is,” Johnson

said. “Nor do they understand the population of people who are hurt by affirmative action.” The audience participated by explaining why they thought people believe America is a postracial society, their thoughts on

affirmative action and why some might feel threatened. “I think there has been progress made,” McKoy said. “People are saying it’s time for change. I think that there’s still pinnacles that we can reach.”

Voices Guys, get involved in birth control

EDITORIAL | Enos leaves Chips with brighter future

Andrew Surma Staff Reporter

Erick Fredendall Columnist

Anti-abortion groups continue to argue the existence of a human soul and the spiritual value it holds. Those who disagree fight bitterly to ensure these beliefs are not forced onto others. While this debate has inflamed passions for decades, recent medical advances in contraceptive options may make preventing abortions easier, and create a common ground for both sides. Enter the Parsemus Foundation, an American non-governmental foundation, which is testing a non-hormonal, temporary male contraceptive option called Vasalgel. The procedure is similar to a vasectomy, except instead of cutting the vas deferens, the tube sperm flows through, and a nontoxic gel is injected, blocking sperm from leaving the body. The foundation’s website states the gel is expected to be as effective as a regular vasectomy. Its effects are expected to last for years, though researchers don’t know how many, and can be flushed out at any time with a second injection. The procedure is currently in a second animal clinical trial, and the foundation projects the product to be available on the market around 2017. Vasalgel is an attractive option for birth control since it bypasses the use of hormones that most feminine options contain. These hormones can produce significant side effects, damaging a woman’s psychological and physical well-being. By far the most potent element of this procedure is how it addresses both the need for prevention of unwanted pregnancies and concerns with contraceptives. The potential to empower men to actively participate in preventative birth measures could be a significant step toward more sexual responsibility. Additionally, given the nature of their contention with traditional contraception, many anti-abortion supporters would embrace a contraceptive preventing actual conception, occurring when sperm fertilizes the egg. That isn’t to say the solution is perfect. A pre-conception solution might not be for everyone. Some religious denominations, such as the Roman Catholic Church, denounce preventative measures as sin. However, the United States is awash with different ideologies and personal practices. As a democratic society, we should strive to find the most inclusive solution to our social woes. A procedure allowing men to participate more actively in prevention, offering a preventative measure that works before conception and a lack of evidence of any adverse side effects make Vasalgel an elegant solution to a major issue. Here’s the bottom line: Vasalgel would be the first non-permanent option for men apart from condoms. While the procedure won’t prevent all abortions from happening, it could certainly lead to a decrease in unwanted pregnancies, leading to an eventual decrease in abortions. That’s a significant victory for both sides of this debate. To learn more about Vasalgel, the Parsemus Foundation and other forms of contraceptive options, visit parsemusfoundation.org.

I am not Charlie

File Photo | Central Michigan Life Head Coach Dan Enos argues with defensive backs coach Archie Collins during the football game against Northern Illinois University at Brigham field in Dekalb, Ill on Oct. 11, 2014.

BON VOYAGE

ocial media erupted Thursday after it was announced Head

Coach Dan Enos resigned from Central Michigan University football to become the offensive coordinator for the University of Arkansas Razorbacks.

We have two words for him: Bon Voyage. The departure of Enos after five years of service to the CMU Football team came as a surprise Thursday, but not a bad one. The hashtag #FireEnos trended persistently throughout his career at CMU. It was not rooted merely in dislike for Enos, but in the consistent disappointment felt by CMU football fans. Enos earned a 26-36 record in his five-year career. His record is undeniably inferior when compared to the wins accumulated by his predecessors Brian Kelly and Lyle Allen “Butch” Jones Jr. It is worth mentioning here that Enos is the third consecutive head football coach to move from CMU to a school with a more highlyranked program. Kelly and Jones eventually ended up at Notre Dame and the University of Tennessee, respectively. Enos, too, will be receiving a pay raise—he will make $550,000 per year at Arkansas—and all the spotlight that comes with coaching in college football’s premier league, the South Eastern Conference.

Enos’s coaching failed to cultivate sufficient game attendance, which is reflected by the fact that student attendance accounted for only 20 percent of the 2013 attendance total. Lack of interest in home football games may be due to Enos’s struggle to connect with CMU students and community members throughout his career. An aloof head coach who does not actively engage the “Chippewas” fans is not likely to garner much excitement or interest in his team. Even in times of great success on the field, like when CMU played in the Popeyes Bahama Bowl that attracted national coverage, Enos has been reluctant to connect with the student body and local media. It is not uncommon to see coaching changes at this time of year, at both collegiate and national levels. Enos’ announcement a mere two weeks before National Signing Day might cause potential recruits to reevaluate their collegiate options, but it will not leave a lasting scar on CMU’s football team. The departure of an uninspiring head coach is not a detriment, but a blessing. CMU is now free to seek a better fit for its team and to cultivate a more inclusive and positive culture around it. Enos’ replacement, whoever it may be, will bring similar positive changes to the program. For now, at least we can find comfort in the knowledge that no matter who Athletics Director Dave Heeke chooses to lead the program into 2015, a future without Enos is certainly a brighter one.

Following the attack on the French satire magazine Charlie Hebdo, many people have expressed thoughts on free speech and moral content. Over the course of two days in early January, 12 journalists and one police officer were killed in an attack on the magazine’s Paris headquarters carried out by Al-Queda affiliates. I have sincere sympathy for everyone affected by the attack. It was barbaric and intolerable. Before we embrace the “Je Suis Charlie”—I Am Charlie—saying that has recently been circulating social media, ask yourself: Do I really want to be Charlie? In my experience attending Catholic school in Dearborn, which is 40 percent Arab-American, I’ve seen how Muslims are treated as objects of “satire.” I learned how Muslims will passionately defend Islam when Pastor Terry Jones came to town in 2011. I also witnessed “Christians” taunt Muslims with severed pig heads during a 2012 Arab-American Festival. It goes both ways. I am not attempting to justify the killing of 17 people in cold blood to avenge the Prophet Mohammed. When we say “Je Suis Charlie,” do we really want to celebrate Charlie Hebdo’s offensive content? France holds western Europe’s largest Muslim minority population — 5 million to be exact. This population has been restricted to ghettos that have been cultivating in Paris suburbs since about the 1960s, somewhat like Dearborn. Muslims have been religiously attacked by French law which forbids religious garb and praying on the streets. In a country where Islamic minorities have routinely been satirized by Charlie Hebdo’s content, the magazine acted as a bully picking on one target because they knew everyone would join in laughing. Charlie Hebdo has the legal right to publish what they want. That should never be compromised. France’s law on the Freedom of the Press of 1881 assures that. However, Article R. 624-3 of France’s penal code forbids defamation and creating incitement to discriminate against any group. Great freedoms are accompanied by great responsibilities. Political satire and defaming a minority are two very different things. I support Charlie Hebdo satirists publishing what they believe in. I can rally to protect freedom of speech. I do not have to support the racist content of Charlie Hebdo. An image of Jesus Christ in a compromising sexual position would be offensive to many Christians. Bullets ripping through the U.S. Constitution and into the president would be offensive to many Americans. Imagine the offense taken when western media irreverently and repeatedly portrays the prophet of Islam in the same light. Don’t forget this is being published in a city with a sensitive 10 percent Muslim minority. The religion of Islam has unfairly been lumped together with the hostile radicalized sects within it. This is apparent in the 26 French mosques that have been victimized by hate-acts since the attack, including grenades and pig heads being thrown into them. We all have the responsibility and the power to dispel the prejudices of previous generations before us. If we choose to be Charlie, we also choose to embrace the damaging, hate-inciting and racist content that is Charlie. Before we cry “Je Suis Charlie” in support of the magazine exercising its essential right to free speech, we ought consider whether Charlie Hebdo is the best ambassador to support such a great freedom. I am proud to not be Charlie.

Students share opinions on Enos departure By Evan Sasiela Staff Reporter

Students across campus were shocked to hear Central Michigan University head football coach Dan Enos resigned on Thursday to accept a position as offensive coordinator position at the University of Arkansas. At the Bovee University Center and Student Activity Center, students voiced their opinions of Enos’ departure, the football team and how they feel about getting a new coach. Tage Green, 21, junior, attended three home games in 2014. On Enos leaving: “I was surprised. I didn’t think he was going anywhere.” On the football team as a whole: “I think the football team is good. They can only get better.” Cierra Toliver, 21, sophomore, attended one home game this season. On Enos leaving: “I think he quit. President (George) Ross received a nice offer from the University of Nebraska and he stayed.” On the football team as a whole: “We have a good team. I know some of the guys and they work hard at what they do. They have a lot of support here.” Excitement for a new coach: “We will see how he does.” Joe Hymel, 19, sophomore, fired the CMU cannon at five games in 2014. On Enos leaving: “I’m surprised. I thought we did a good job this year and to have him leave like he did is shocking.” On the football team as a whole: “I think it is a good program. They have a good relationship with the fans. They are great guys.” Excitement for a new coach: “You obviously need to fill the empty slot but I’m indifferent. Why replace a good thing?” Travis McDonald, 21, attended three home games this season. On Enos leaving: “I feel good about it. I feel like he was suited for a coordinator position anyway.” On the football team as a whole: “I think we have room for improvement but they work hard.” Excitement for a new coach: “If it is the right one then I am fine.

Enos, who was 26-36 during his five years in Mount Pleasant, did not respond to requests for an interview following the Chippewas 49-48 loss to Western Kentucky University on Christmas Eve. Central Michigan Life called Enos on Thursday morning for comment on his resignation. He did not respond. In a press release issued by the University of Arkansas, Enos thanked Razorback Athletics for inviting him to join the program. “I want to thank Bret (Bielema) for this wonderful opportunity to be part of something special at the University of Arkansas,” Enos said. “The challenge of winning a championship in the SEC and developing young men at the highest level of college football is very attractive.” During a teleconference

Pleasant also employs 200-300 volunteers. Eliminating a full day of the race will help make it less expensive. It also could very well affect the participation rates, Rollenhagen said. Le Tour de Mont Pleasant attracts nearly hundreds of racers each year — last year, the race brought 732 registrants downtown. Rollenhagen added that for every 100 people they bring, about $25,000 gets spent in Mount Pleasant. “Last year, we had racers from all across the state, the Midwest and Canadians,” he said. “We want to make sure

de Mont Pleasant’s finances, Rollenhagen said. In his mind, the change was another reason why he and Hadden decided to eliminate the criterium and a full day from the race. “It’s unfortunate, but businesses in the downtown area don’t support us like they always had,” he said. In the past, downtown business owners expressed that they saw few economic benefits from staying open on race day. Their chief concern, Rollenhagen said, was the race limits regular access for downtown commuters. “Each year we did it, they

were tired of making it work,” he said. “Some places they were closing because of access, but I always felt like the downtown could have taken better advantage of the exposure they got. We did it in conjunction with other festivals, and it was logistically challenging, but the exposure was the best ever. Because we had three days, people were downtown spending money.” Hadden said the race has already made headway in filling the sponsorship void left by the chamber. One way of securing funding is the formation of a new 501c nonprofit

company. Hadden said the organization is working to have a new one established by the end of this year that will be attached to the Mid Michigan Cycling Club. The race was originally attached to chamber as its mainstay non-profit. Le Tour de Mont Pleasant began its relationship with the chamber since its inception — Hadden was the former CEO of the group. Hadden said she always envisioned the race breaking away from the chamber — she and other race organizers have been figuring out how to spin it off over the last two years.

s one head coach exited CMU on Thursday, another is just getting settled in. There’s no doubt Central

Michigan’s men’s basketball team has been rebuilding over the past two years under the leadership of Head Coach Keno Davis.

After winning 11 games in his first season at CMU and 10 last season, Davis has his squad at a 13-3 mark, with a 3-2 record against MidAmerican Conference opponents. In his seven years as a head coach in the NCAA, Davis has ridden the highs and lows on the roller coaster ride that is college basketball. In his first year, he was named Associated Press College Basketball Coach of the Year and took a head coaching job in the prestigious Big East Conference. By his fourth year, he was fired

Men’s basketball hosts Eastern Michigan this weekend By Joe Judd Staff Reporter

After a 84-73 comeback victory on Wednesday against the Buffalo Bulls, the Central Michigan University’s men’s basketball team shifts its focus to in-state rival Eastern Michigan University. “In the past our only chance at beating (EMU) was to shoot over them,” said Head Coach Keno Davis. “This year we’re in a little better shape because of our experience as well as our inside presence.” CMU (13-3, 3-2 MAC) is now 10-0 at McGuirk Arena for the first time since the 2002-03 season, when a Jay Smithcoached team made it all the way to the big dance before losing to Duke. Ever since Davis arrived in Mount Pleasant in 2002, one of his many goals has been to create a challenging home-court environment. His team sits at three wins away from having a 13-0 home record for the first time since 1986-87.

Davis would like to finally break through against the Eagles, who he has beaten one time since taking over as head coach. In the Keno Davis era, EMU is 4-1 against the Chippewas, with CMU’s lone win coming in March 2013. They will be taking on an EMU team who started its season with seven consecutive wins but have fallen flat with the onset of the Mid-American Conference season. The Eagles stand at 12-6 (1-4 MAC) and sit in last place in the MAC’s west division. “We know that this Eastern team is a good, if not better, than they’ve been in the past,” Davis said. “They’ve just had a couple of tough losses in the conference.” “You’re looking at two teams who are coming in trying to win and find out where they’re going to be in the conference.” Tip-off against the Eagles is scheduled for 4:30 p.m. on Saturday at McGuirk Arena.

Davis joined him as an undergraduate assistant. “I kind of planned on going into coaching,” Davis said. “I knew that rather than playing at a smaller level in any sport, it would be better for my profession, my career to be able to learn.” He attended practices, kept statistics and attended some coaches meetings as an assistant. After graduation, Davis served as an assistant coach at Southern Indiana and Southeast Missouri before coming back to coach under his father, who was now at Drake.

Women adjusting to Green’s injury By Greg Wickliffe Staff Reporter

With five games under its belt since the unfortunate ACL injury to senior point guard Jessica Green, Central Michigan University’s women’s basketball team has not missed a beat thanks to its new floor general. Enter junior point guard Da’Jourie Turner, who has been given the difficult challenge of replacing Green. The Detroit native has helped the Chippewas jump out to a 4-1 start in MidAmerican Conference play. “Da’Jourie is the most experienced,” CMU Head Coach Sue Guevara said. “She’s been with us for three years. She understands the system, she’s been in big games for us and she’s been on a championship floor. You saw what Cardale Jones did, so you know, next woman up.” It probably wasn’t the way Turner envisioned earning

the starting position, but she has embraced her new role with the team. “It’s a very big role and I’m still learning it,” Turner said. “I’m still trying to fill the shoes of Jessica Green. I’m still learning things as far as when’s the right time to score and getting my teammates involved more on the offensive end.” With more time on the court, Turner has seen her production increase as well. Since being placed in the starting lineup at the start of MAC play, she has averaged 10 points, five rebounds and three assists per game. Freshman point guard Amani Corley has also seen her playing time on the court and role on the team grow. Stepping in for one of the top point guards in the MAC is not an easy task, but Guevara said that playing with a veteran team has made it easier for Turner and Corley. In just a few games, Gue-

vara said that she has already seen a different and more relaxed player in Turner. “(Turner) is much more even keel,” she said. “She’s not getting down. Her body language has been better especially when she has struggled a little bit. “She has maybe struggled a little bit these past couple of games, but she hasn’t let it affect her, and I think that’s probably the biggest thing.” Guevara said the one thing she wants to see is for her point guard to be more aggressive on the offensive end. “Most point guards are looking to facilitate and create, which is great,” she said. “When the opportunity arises to shoot, they need to look to score the basketball. “I’ve challenged them, especially Amani to understand that if our point guard doesn’t look to score, then we are at a disadvantage. It’s like four on five offensively, and I can’t have that.”

In desperate need of home victory, women host Akron Saturday By Greg Wickliffe Staff Reporter

Central Michigan University women’s basketball team is preparing for another test this weekend after having its four-game Mid-American Conference win streak snapped. CMU hosts the University of Akron at 1 p.m. Saturday The Zips come into the game with a 14-3 overall record, and are in second place in the East division at 4-2. The Chippewas will have their hands full with the Zips high-octane offense which is averaging a MAC-best 78.9 points per game. The Zips are also an unselfish squad, as they are ranked first in the conference in assists averaging 17.2 per contest. Leading Akron’s high-powered offense is the backcourt tandem of senior Sina King and junior Anita Brown. King averages a conference-best 20.4 points per game, while her teammate Brown is ranked third with 20 points per contest. “If you look Anita Brown’s progression from her freshman year, you can tell she has put in

a tremendous about of work,” said head coach Sue Guevara. “She’s a very nice player.” The Zips are one of only two teams with three players averaging 10 or more points per game. Guevara said containing the number one offensive team in the MAC, will be a challenge for the Chippewas defense. “They are another highscoring team,” Guevara said. “Our transition defense is going to be key, and understanding where the shooters are.” Perhaps an even bigger concern for coach Guevara would be the Chippewas’ offensive woes since the beginning of MAC play. CMU has struggled from the perimeter shooting just 22-of-95 in the last five games. “We are executing, but we just aren’t finishing,” Guevara said. “Our three-point shooters are getting great looks. The shots just aren’t going down. If our three-point shooting isn’t going to be there, our defense has to be.“ Freshman forward Cassandra Breen said that CMUs struggles shooting

the ball are temporary. “Shooters get into slumps, teams get into slumps,” Breen said. “It’s something we have to work out. I don’t think it’s anything, we’re just not shooting well right now. It’ll come back, it always does. “With anything that’s not working, I feel like anybody would get frustrated. We try not look at it like that. We got to keep shooting.” The Chippewas will also be looking to make some changes to the offensive scheme. Guevara would not outline her specific game plans, but she knows she needs to change something to get the most out of her players. “The definition of insanity is trying the same thing over and over and expecting the same results. I don’t want to be insane. We just have to put our kids in the right positions for their strengths. We have to tweak a little bit of a new offense and simplify some things,” Guevara said. -Staff Reporter Neil Rosan contributed to this report.

Drake finished under .500 in Missouri Valley Conference play in all four seasons under Tom. When he decided to retire, Davis’ first head coaching opportunity opened up. “Part of that agreement with Dr. Tom is that his son would take over the program, which was terrific,” said Drake Athletic Director Sandy Hatfield Clubb, who took over the role in 2006. “He was being groomed by his father at Drake to take over that role.” In Tom’s final season, Drake had its first winning season in over 20 years, but four starters would not return to the 2007-2008 team. A 17-game winning streak and win over No. 8 Butler highlighted the season for Drake, which ranked 23rd in the final USA Today Coaches Poll in 2008. When the dust settled on his first season, Drake had a 28-5 record. The team made the NCAA Tournament and Davis earned numerous coaching awards, including the AP Coach of the Year honor. “All of the sudden I kept getting these coach of the year awards,” Davis said. “I didn’t know how many there were. It’s usually (given) when you have a team that’s not necessarily your best coaching job, but when you have a team that isn’t expected to be any good and then you surpass those expectations.” In his first season, Davis won an award that’s been given to basketball legends like John Wooden, Bob Knight, Jim Boeheim and Roy Williams. But Davis’ tenure at Drake would end there. An opportunity drew him east, specifically the Big East, where he took the head coaching position at Providence. “I certainly never had hard feelings with him,” Clubb said. “I think people understood he was coach of the year and had an opportunity to sign a significant contract that would help his family in ways that we weren’t able to do here.”

The Big East experiment

Davis’ first year with Providence showed promise, headlined by a victory over Pittsburgh, which was ranked first in the country at the time. His next two seasons, Providence finished 4-14 in

the Big East. Davis was fired. He said he wasn’t ready to jump into a new head coaching job if it wasn’t the right fit. “When I was let go there, I was looking at different coaching opportunities,” Davis said. “I’d made my mind up that if the right coaching opportunity wasn’t there, I wasn’t going to take the first one just because it was open.” The Big Ten Network and Mark Cuban’s HD Network were the next destination for Davis, as he did television work in the studio and traveled to help cover teams doing color commentary. “It gave me a chance to be able to evaluate other programs, other coaches to be able to clear my mind,” Davis said. “(I looked for) what I wanted to do if I were to get back into coaching.” That next opportunity came quickly.

Taking his talents to Mount Pleasant

CMU Athletic Director Dave Heeke and Davis connected and both quickly realized they were looking to build a program the same way. “When we were searching for a new head coach, his name was out there, I was familiar with Keno,” Heeke said. “From several people that I talked to in the industry, his name kept surfacing.” The Chippewas were coming off their ninth consecutive season without a winning season and only had four winning seasons since 1980. “The history of basketball here has been scattered for success and we’re trying to find a system that will allow us to have consistent competitive success,” Heeke said. “Keno’s doing an excellent job of positioning us to do that.” The first two seasons didn’t show progress in terms of wins and losses. Davis was 21-41 through two years. Junior forward John Simons had already committed to CMU before Davis was announced as the head coach. While Davis traveled to Cadillac to talk with the recruit, Simons wasn’t wavering from his commitment. “My brother, he’s three years older than I am, he actually took an official visit to Providence when Coach Davis was the coach,” Simons said. “I knew a little bit about him, my brother knew a little bit about him. He didn’t have to sell himself.” Simons transitioned from the center position to forward position this season when Davis brought in two big men to fill the hole. Simons is flourishing in his

new spot and is second in the nation with a 51.2 3-point field goal percentage. “If there were fans that were getting impatient, I never heard it,” Davis said. “I think those fans that had been coming and really supported the team, they could see it coming.” Davis finds players who “fall under the radar slightly,” according to Heeke, which is how he managed to bring in 6-8.5 forward DaRohn Scott and 6-11 forward Luke Meyer. Scott has already had the chance to connect with Davis in his first season. “Keno’s a very funny guy, I’ll tell you that right now,” Scott said. “I got hurt in the summer and before that when he came up to me throughout the season I was like, ‘I’m Superman, I don’t get hurt,’ but as soon as I came here I sprained my ankle during practice and he was like, ‘DaRohn, I thought you were Superman?’ I was like, ‘oh yeah, I guess I’ve got to toughen up.’”

Keeping Keno

With Enos escaping to Arkansas and Davis’ history of leaving a job, it’s easy to question Davis’ expiration date in Mount Pleasant. Heeke and Davis talk about building a successful program in the long term, but Enos’ departure is evidence that CMU is not always the dream goal in mind for coaches. “You never know,” Heeke said. “People have opportunities, people have the chance to do different things, but we try to create an atmosphere that coaches want to stay. We’ll never be able to compensate coaches to the level that is out there nowadays at the Power Five level.” But Davis said there’s no dream job in mind for him. “I just want to make sure as I’m coaching that I really enjoy where I’m at,” Davis said. “I really enjoy it here at Central Michigan and I can really understand why so many coaches in different sports have stayed here for a long time.” Davis’ work at CMU is far from complete, but his successful past is reassuring for his current team. “When things go wrong, he’s still got to remember that it’s worked before,” Simons said. “I don’t think there’s anyone on our team that doesn’t have trust, that doesn’t have faith in Coach Davis and what he does and what he’s trying to do here.” He may not win any more national Coach of the Year honors like he did in his inaugural season. But CMU’s not in this for just one year.

Wrestling hosts Northern Iowa on Sunday By Ian Ashbury Staff Reporter

It’s been over a month since the Central Michigan University wrestling team (5-5) had a meet in McGuirk Arena. On Sunday, the team will face Northern Iowa University (6-4) to continue Mid-American Conference play. The Chippewas return home after splitting last weekend’s matches against Southern Illinois University Ewardsville, and the University of Missouri. On Sunday, CMU will continue what Head Coach Tom Borrelli calls “the toughest part of the MAC schedule.” After the long road stretch Borrelli is excited to return home. “It’s nice not having to travel. We were on the road pretty much all (winter) break. Guys sleep in their own bed so it’s easier on everyone,” Borrelli said. NIU comes into Sunday’s match 3-0 in the MAC, sitting second behind U-M. Borrelli said he is aware of the type of attack the Pan-

redshirt-freshman Brent Fleetwood, who will be seeking the upset. Junior Zach Horan will look to defend his title of MAC Player of the Week

As Enos departs, search for new head coach begins CM Life Staff Reports

With Dan Enos’ resignation on Thursday as the head football coach at CMU, there are several names popping up that may be in the mix for the job. Here are a few: Tony Annesse (Head Coach, Ferris State): Since the 2012 season Annese has been the head man in Big Rapids. Prior to Ferris State, Annese had three impressive seasons as head coach at Grand Rapids Community College. In his first season at Ferris State, Annese led the program to a 7-4 record while Ferris ranked among the top schools in the nation in rushing offense and total offense. In that same season he was a finalist for the Liberty Mutual Coach of the Year Award. He is a member of the Michigan High School Football Coaches Association Hall of Fame. Annese was 195-41 in 22 seasons as a prep head coach. Mike Norvell (Arizona State Offensive Coordina-

tor): At only 32 he’s already accomplished a lot. He is a great play caller and was one of the key pieces in building Arizona State’s offense into what it is today. The Sun Devils averaged 36.9 points per game last season., which ranked 17th in the nation. Before arriving at Arizona State in 2012 he was with Tulsa from 2007-2010 as its wide receivers coach and was the offensive coordinator/wide

receivers coach at Pittsburgh in 2011. Zach Azzanni (Wide Receivers Coach, Tennessee): Azzanni coached under Butch Jones at CMU as the wide receivers coach from 2007-2009. He also has an Urban Meyer connection. Azzanni was a graduate assistant at Bowling Green from 2001-2002 under Meyer. He would follow Meyer to Florida in 2010 as the Gators passing game

coordinator. Being a CMU alum and Utica native, his name will be in the mix. Brady Hoke: For the past four seasons Hoke was the head coach at The University of Michigan. He guided the Wolverines to a 31-20 record, which included a Sugar Bowl appearance in 2011 with a record of 11-2. His fourth season in Ann Arbor was the only year he did not guide the Wolverines to a bowl game. From

1987-1989 Hoke was the linebackers coach at Toledo. From 1995-2002 Hoke coached in some capacity with Michigan including defensive ends, defensive line and associate head coach. He was the head coach of Ball State from 2003-2009 and San Diego State for two seasons from 2009-2010. In 2008 he led San Diego State the most wins in program history with a 12-0 record. He has a career 78-70 record

as a head coach. He is a Ball State graduate. Ron English: From 2009-2013 English was the head coach at Eastern Michigan where he went 1146. Eastern had their best season in 17 years in 2011 under English with a 6-6 record. He spent five years in Ann Arbor under Lloyd Carr as both a defensive backs coach (2003-2005) and defensive coordinator (2006-2007).

Defensive Coordinator Luke Fickell was given the reigns. Fickell finished the season with a 6-7 record, marking one of the worst seasons in school history. Ohio State went to the drawing board and hired Urban Meyer, who has a 38-3 record and a national champion after three seasons with the Buckeyes. CMU will obviously not attract a coach like Meyer, but it doesn’t mean they can’t land a quality coach. Enos may have not been our most successful coach or our most well-liked coach, but he did build some momentum in his five seasons at CMU. Following that growing momen-

tum, the athletic department can’t set the program back another five seasons by hiring the wrong guy. The athletic department has made good coaching decisions for both of our basketball programs. Now they must do the same to restore the championship culture to our football team. Central Michigan needs to find someone with quality coaching experience. Both men’s and women’s basketball coaches have coached at a high level before and we can see what success it has brought to both of those programs. The next CMU coach should also bring a strong

coaching philosophy. If the coach doesn’t know what they want the team to look like, how will the players be able to execute? Most importantly, the next head coach will need to bring discipline. Last season was a season filled with arrests and sportsmanship issues. If a team is not disciplined outside the lines, it is very hard to expect them to be disciplined inside them. It will be hard to find a coach that matches these descriptions on such short notice, but as Vince Lombardi once said, “Perfection is not attainable. But if we chase perfection, we can catch excellence.”

seasons of bowl eligibility. Wins over Purdue, Northern Illinois and Iowa. Ultimately, the Chippewas were trapped in mediocrity. The team might struggle as it rebuilds with a new coach, but the result has to be higher than a fourth-place finish in the MAC West. Under Dan Enos, the Chippewas looked like they would be consistently good, but never great. He did help develop sopho-

more quarterback Cooper Rush and put confidence in him even as a freshman, but Enos also had Titus Davis, Thomas Rawls and an experienced offensive line. The offensive production wasn’t up to par. The defense claimed to be the best in the MAC, but when it really mattered in games against Western Michigan and Western Kentucky, they fell short. Whether it’s Brady Hoke or Cody Kater, the next football

coach at Central Michigan will bring optimism to a skeptical fan base. The same fan base Enos repeatedly looked down upon, saying they didn’t know what they were talking about. No matter how you slice it, a pair of 3-9 seasons followed by three six-loss seasons won’t cut it. For many fans, it’s a dream come true. Enos is gone. The coaching search has started. A new era of Chippewa football has officially begun.

Enos departure marks football turning point In college football, coaches mean everything. Coaches at the collegiate level have a bigger impact on a team’s success than those who coach at the professional level. NFL coaches don’t have to develop players to the extent that college coaches do. Most professional prospects come to the league with much more game experience than college recruits. Many top

NFL prospects already have the skills to play at a higher level, skills given to them by college coaches. NFL skippers don’t have to go out on recruiting trips to try and woo top talent. With all the big money contracts, agents and salary caps, coaches rarely have a chance to convince top talent to come to their team. College coaches have to

Neil Rosan Staff Reporter

convince top high school players with success, flashy uniforms, a promise of a wholesome education and a chance to go to the NFL. So when a program comes to a crossroads such as a coach’s resignation, those who run it have to get the right person for the job. Look at what happened to Ohio State. After head coach Jim Tressel was shown the door for breaking NCAA rules,

An opportunity to escape mediocrity Fans have been clamoring to “Fire Enos” practically since he arrived in Mount Pleasant. They got the next best thing Thursday when Enos shocked the Central Michigan University community with his resignation.

As Enos leaves for Arkansas to take over as the offensive coordinator, the CMU head football coaching position lays vacant with less than two weeks until National Signing Day. CMU Athletic Director Dave Heeke talked about the “tre-

mendous opportunity” the job is for potential suitors. But even more so, the same can be said for the football program. The statistics can be cleansed to show the positive side of Enos’ tenure. Three straight
