Eastern Michigan
Genyk was hired by Eastern Michigan as head coach in December 2003 after 12 years as an assistant at Northwestern University (Chicago).
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 Central Michigan University, giving EMU the Michigan MAC Trophy.
After tallying a 3-9 record during the 2008 campaign and going 16-42 overall during his five years at the helm, Genyk was fired in November by Eastern Michigan University. He coached the season's final game against Central Michigan, a 56-52 upset in front of a home crowd in Ypsilanti.

Famous quotes containing the word eastern:
“Midway the lake we took on board two manly-looking middle-aged men.... I talked with one of them, telling him that I had come all this distance partly to see where the white pine, the Eastern stuff of which our houses are built, grew, but that on this and a previous excursion into another part of Maine I had found it a scarce tree; and I asked him where I must look for it. With a smile, he answered that he could hardly tell me.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
