Central Michigan head coach John Bonamego has been relieved of his duties effective immediately, according to a Central Michigan University Athletics press release issued Friday night.
The move comes hours after the Chippewas suffered a 51-13 loss to the Toledo Rockets on the road to complete a program-worst 1-11 single-season record by winning percentage, including an 0-8 conference record and zero wins against FBS-level competion. CMU’s lone victory in 2018 was a 17-5 triumph over the Maine Black Bears.
The 2018 season is the first time CMU failed to attain bowl eligibility since 2011 and the first time the team missed a bowl since 2013.
