Since the firing of John Bonamego and hiring of new Central Michigan football head coach Jim McElwain, the assistant coaching positions have underwent a major shake.
Seven assistant coaches have departed as the byproduct of not interviewing under McElwain or being removed from the staff.
Leaving the Chippewas include defensive coordinator Greg Colby, offensive coordinator Chris Ostrowsky, special teams coordinator Tony Coaxum, linebackers coach Mike Dietzel, running backs coach Jayden Everett, wide receivers coach Marcus Knight and defensive line coach George Ricumstrict.
Tight ends coach Tavita Thompson, offensive line coach Derek Frazier and defensive backs coach Cory Hall remain on CMU's staff.
