The 2009 Mid-American Conference football season is an
NCAA football season that was played from September 3, 2009, to January 7, 2010. The Mid-American Conference consists of twelve full-time members, with Temple University
holding an affiliate membership for football.
Previous season
Ball State entered the 2008 MAC Championship Game undefeated and as the champion of the West Division. This was also their first ever appearance in the game.[2] Ranked #12 in the country, they faced East Division champion Buffalo in the annual contest held at Ford Field. That was Buffalo's first appearance as well. The Bulls upset Ball State and took the MAC Championship, giving Ball State their first loss of the season.
After the championship game ended, four MAC football head coaches either resigned or were fired from their teams. This began with
University of Michigan for five years as well as the University of Louisville during the 2008 season.[6]
In the East Division, two schools also saw head coaching changes.
Notre Dame University's offensive coordinator.[8] At Bowling Green, six-year head coach Gregg Brandon was fired.[9] However, Brandon did find another job in college football when he was named the new University of Virginia offensive coordinator.[10] He was replaced at Bowling Green by Dave Clawson, who was the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at the University of Tennessee.[11]
