DETROIT – Players change, coaching staffs change.
Expectations do not. For Central Michigan football, it’s about competing for a Mid-American Conference championship.
“There’s nothing else to play for,” coach John Bonamego said on Tuesday at Ford Field during the MAC’s annual Media Day. “To talk about anything less I think does a disservice to our staff, our players and our fans.”
The Chippewas, who open the 2018 season at Kentucky on Sept. 1, are coming off their most successful season of Bonaemgo’s three at the helm of his alma mater. They finished 8-5, 6-2 in the MAC (tied for second in the West Division) and earned a fourth consecutive bowl berth in 2017.
