We wrap up our seventh conference on Sunday — fittingly the seventh day — with the remaining coaches from Conference USA and the independent ranks. No rest on the seventh day: another edition of Coach Match is ahead.
Action Network contacted each of the 133 FBS head coaches and asked the following question: Who is your favorite musical artist or group? Each coach was able to provide only one answer.
Sunday’s CUSA/Independents Hint
Today’s collection of FBS Independent and CUSA coaches: Notre Dame’s Marcus Freeman, Sam Houston’s K.C. Keeler, UConn’s Jim Mora, UMass’ Don Brown, UTEP’s Dana Dimel and Western Kentucky’s Tyson Helton.
First hint: UConn’s Jim Mora was torn about who to go with as a favorite. It was a coin flip between Jay-Z and Led Zeppelin "depending on my mood." Ultimately, Mora decided, "let's go old school."
And for another hint: the artist or group he didn’t select was the favorite choice of another coach on today’s list.
Since I’ve made your selections somewhat easier, the only other hint I’ll provide is no coach selected the same artist. Enjoy what’s left of your weekend.

Coach Match Instructions
To guess, click the music artist you think matches each coach from left to right. Some coaches might have the same answer, so you can pick the same artist for multiple coaches. When you have selected an artist for each coach, hit submit. A green box means that artist is correct, a yellow box means that artist was selected by another coach and a gray box means no coach picked this artist.
After completion of Coach Match, click the "share on Twitter" button. One individual daily will be randomly selected for some free Action Network gear if (a) you tweeted your response and (b) you are following @ActionNetworkHQ and @Brett_McMurphy on Twitter.
For each day’s Coach Match, I will provide a hint to hopefully make it a little easier to solve. We will post a new Coach Match daily at 9 a.m. ET, so check back every day.
Guess each coach's favorite artist or band!
