Jeff Genyk (born August 22, 1960) is the head football coach at Eastern Michigan University.

Early Career

Genyk was born in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and was raised in nearby Milan, Michigan. Jeff's father George Genyk played college football for the University of Michigan Wolverines, and served as a captain on the 1959 team. George was drafted by the New York Titans in the first tier of the 1960 American Football League draft.

Jeff graduated from Milan High School and went on to attend Bowling Green State University where he started at quarterback for the Falcons football team. He graduated in 1982 with a degree in Business Administration. He later earned a MBA from Western Michigan University in 1989, and a master's in education from Northwestern University in 1994. During the interim, Genyk served as an assistant football coach at Grand Rapids Community College from 1990-1992. From 1994 to 2003, Genyk served as an assistant coach at Northwestern, and at different times coaching linebackers, running backs, and the secondary. From 1998-2003 he served as Special Teams Coordinator and Recruiting Coordinator. During his time at Northwestern, the Wildcats won 3 Big Ten titles and participated in 4 bowl games.

Eastern Michigan

In 2004, the EMU team went 4-4 in the Mid-American Conference, and posted high offensive numbers. In 2007, the Eagles finished third in the MAC West, their highest showing since 1997. This included wins over Western Michigan University and Eastern Michigan University, giving EMU the Michigan MAC Trophy.

During Genyk's tenure, the A.P.R. rating for EMU football has increased.

Loss of popularity at EMU

In 2006, after a 1-11 finish in the regular season, the Eagle fans of EMU began to call for the firing of Coach Genyk. After a contract extension was signed, however, the fans were crestfallen. Since then, even at basketball games, fans have begun to chant, "Fire Genyk!" during EMU sporting events.fact|date=June 2008
