We’ve gone through three conferences so far — the American, Mountain West and Sun Belt. Now, it’s time for some MACtion! First up is the MAC East, and then we’ll have the MAC West on Monday.
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 MAC East Hint
Today its MACtion with the coaches from the MAC East: Akron’s Joe Moorhead, Bowling Green’s Scot Loeffler, Buffalo’s Maurice Linguist, Kent State’s Kenni Burns, Miami’s Chuck Martin and Ohio’s Tim Albin.
First hint: One coach provided a jersey to his favorite artist, who wore it in concert (pictured below). While the artist “Can’t Drive 55,” this coach scored 55 points last year in a 55-24 win vs. Akron on his way to the school’s first bowl trip in three years.
Another “BIG” hint: This is the seventh edition of Coach Match and for the first time, two coaches have chosen the same artist. Good luck.

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!
