According to the Mt. Pleasant Morning Sun, Central Michigan coach Butch Jones and Cincinnati entered into contract negotiations Tuesday night and the deal is expected to be done on Wednesday. An announcement could come as early as today. Central Michigan athletic director Dave Heeke told the Morning Sun, “I would prefer that Cincinnati be the ones to make any comments on the matter.” Central Michigan is becoming quite the pipeline to Cincinnati. Former Cincinnati coach Brian Kelly also came from Central Michigan and was Jones’ predecessor. In three seasons with the Chippewas, Jones is 27-12, including an 11-3 record and an undefeated Mid-American Conference record this season. He also led CMU to two conference titles, including a win over Ohio two weeks ago. He recently led the Chippewas to their first-ever Top-25 ranking. It is unclear who will coach the Chippewas through the GMAC Bowl against Troy on Jan. 6.
