Senior quarterback Cooper Rush, middle, calls out to the offense while on the field during the game against Western Michigan University on Saturday, Oct. 1 at Kelly / Shorts Stadium.
CANTON, Ohio — The days of Western Michigan “rowing the boat” are officially over.
Former head coach P.J. Fleck took his famous words of inspiration with him to his new job at Minnesota, leaving the 2016 Mid-American Conference Champion Broncos searching for a new identity.
Like Fleck, Tim Lester is an energetic and confident coach. Lester, 39, spent last season as Purdue’s quarterbacks coach and was the offensive coordinator at Syracuse for two seasons before that.
