2016 Central Michigan Chippewas Season

The 2016 Central Michigan Chippewas represented Central Michigan University in the 2016 CFBHC Season. The team was coached by Eternal_Inferno for 6 games, the AI for 4 games, and bigred23 for the last game and played its home games in Kelly/Shorts Stadium in Mount Pleasant, Michigan. They were a member of the MAC and failed to qualify for a postseason appearance. 
Central Michigan opened the season with three victories in their first four games, creating promise for the team. Following the win over the Toledo Rockets, however, the Chippewas fell in consecutive games. Head coach Eternal_Inferno left the team following that loss, leaving the Chippewas coachless for the first time. After a four game stretch which saw the Chippewas go 1-3, bigred23 was hired to lead the team in their finale against the Ball State Cardinals, which they lost 17-9. The team would finish 4-6 in the inaugural season. 
Four players earned conference recognition, being elected to the 1st team All-MAC.
