Toledo's Candle ready for challenge of year three

After two full seasons as head coach of the University of Toledo football team and fresh off a new contract extension through the 2023 season, Jason Candle has produced results on the field.

The Rockets are coming off an 11-3 season and their first Mid-American Conference championship since 2004. Candle’s record over the last two years, plus a bowl game in 2015, is 21-7.

As Candle reflects on the past two years and the state of the program at this stage, he undoubtedly is proud of the on-field results, but he quickly shifts the focus from the number of wins to the character development of his players.
