The 1975 Eastern Michigan Hurons football team represented Eastern Michigan University as an independent during the 1975 NCAA Division I football season. In their second and final season under head coach George Mans, the Hurons compiled a 4–6 record and outscored their opponents, 198 to 171.[1][2] The team's statistical leaders included Jerry Mucha with 526 passing yards and Clarence Chapman with 634 rushing yards and 194 receiving yards.[3]
In May 1976, coach Mans announced his resignation as the school's head football coach in what the Associated Press described as a "surprise move."[4] According to one newspaper report, Mans resigned "when it became apparent that EMU would place a greater emphasis on basketball, hiring former Detroit Pistons coach Ray Scott."[5] Mans compiled an 8–12–1 record in two seasons as the head football coach at Eastern Michigan.[6]
