Toledos enrollment is down and has far less subsidies and donations than Miami.
Candle was the OC the 4 seasons prior to HC so is part of the reason for the previous regimes record and recruiting.
Toledo hasn't experienced hardly any luls as a program in general as they play in the nicest/ one of the nicest venues and good luck with head coaches like Saban and Pinkel. In the day in age of G5 turnover Candle has done a fantastic job. Campbel, and Beckman never won the league. Candle going for the first back to back titles since 11 and 12 (NIU), first 9-0 MAC record since WMUs cotton Bowl in 2016, first Toledo win streak of 9+ since 1969-1971 35-0 streak, and putting NFL players in the league at a high level. Campbel didn't have any drafted I don't think... (Kareem Hunt and others did as Candle took over but were MC guys). Candles on double digits draftees with 2 like All Americans this season... he's leveled up the program.
