Central Michigan reportedly to hire Lions ST coach John Bonamego
Central Michigan has reportedly found its new coach.
According to the Detroit Free Press, the Chippewas are heading to the NFL ranks to hire Detroit Lions special teams coach John Bonamego.
From the Free Press Saturday evening:
Bonamego is finalizing a contract to be the next CMU football coach, a person familiar with the deal but not authorized to speak about it publicly told the Free Press today.
Bonamego, 51, has been with Detroit for the past two seasons. He has coached special teams in the NFL since 1999 and last coached in the college ranks with Army from 1993-1998. He's a Central Michigan alum and walked on the football team when he was there.
Previous Central Michigan coach Dan Enos left in January to become Arkansas' offensive coordinator. His departure meant that CMU went through National Signing Day without a coach. According to Rivals' recruiting rankings, CMU's class was No. 111 in the country and had 19 commitments.
The Chippewas finished 7-6 last year and had a crazy comeback in the Bahamas Bowl that just fell short. After trailing 49-14, CMU came back to cut the deficit to 49-48 on a crazy multi-lateral play with no time remaining. However, the two-point conversion attempt fell incomplete.
