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:
“From this elevation, just on the skirts of the clouds, we could overlook the country, west and south, for a hundred miles. There it was, the State of Maine, which we had seen on the map, but not much like that,—immeasurable forest for the sun to shine on, the eastern stuff we hear of in Massachusetts. No clearing, no house. It did not look as if a solitary traveler had cut so much as a walking-stick there.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
