Nov 02 2044: Creech OUT. Haley IN. - by Craig Windshacker on April 14th, 2025

President Craig Windshacker has made the long and difficult decision to replace Glenn Creech as head coach of the CMU. This was long anticipated, but it seemed the tipping point was the recent scandal that embroiled Creech.

Longtime assistant coach Ben Haley will take on the role of Head Coach. We are very excited

In kind,


Mar 05 2044: Gleen Creech replaces Todd Kronig as Head Coach - by Craig Windshacker on March 24th, 2025

Due to leadership changes at CMU we have decided to part ways with HC Todd Kronig, we thank Kronig for all the work he has done for the program.

Replacing him will be Gleen Creech who has a track record of producing incredible offensive teams and we are sure he and our rest of our coaching staff will complete the season very well.

Sincerely, Craig Windshacker
