  • All-Time W-L Record: 1,103-1,146 (.490) from 1904 through 2011.
  • NOTES: Eastern Michigan moved up to major-college status in 1974
  • Boyce's record does not reflect two forfeit victories awarded from Kent State in 1979-80
  • Braun (5-10 record) succeeded Boyce (4-8 overall, 1-3 in Mid-American) midway through the 1985-86 season
  • Braun's record does not reflect a forfeit victory awarded from Miami (oh) in 1988-89
  • Derrick McDowell assumed control of coaching reins for three games in 2008-09 when Ramsey was sidelined because of a benign case of vertigo.
