Coach Carey is now 31-11 at NIU with 1 MAC championship. He has still not won a bowl game (0-3 but it is hard to pin the Orange Bowl loss on him). He has never lost to Toledo or Western Michigan, but can't seem to figure out Central MIchigan or Bowling Green.
Signature wins? Iowa and Toledo in 2013, Northwestern, Toledo, WMU, BGSU in 2014, and Toledo and WMU again this year.
My overall opinion? He is a decent coach in a great program. If he stays, when will his mediocrity start to permeate his recruiting classes and the golden age of NIU football will close.
