University of Toledo football coach Jason Candle and the Rockets are coming off one of the most successful seasons in recent program history.
Toledo won the Mid-American Conference West Division title outright for the first time since 1998, won the MAC title game for the first time since 2004, and has a chance to win 12 games for just the third time in program history.
All that success led to MAC coach of the year honors for Candle.
