COLUMN: What's next for CMU football after John Bonamego's firing?

It was an ugly ending for Central Michigan football head coach John Bonamego.

Coming off the worst loss of the worst season in CMU history, Bonamego avoided questions about his future with the program.

Hours later, it was confirmed that John Bonamego was fired as CMU’s head coach.

"Making a leadership change is a difficult decision, especially when you know that coach has given his all to CMU,” Athletic Director Michael Alford said in an official statement.

Bonamego’s head coaching career, which started with an entire community rallying around his fight against cancer, had come to a stop after four seasons as CMU’s leader.
