Reports: Central Michigan hires former Florida coach Jim McElwain as new football coach

Current Michigan wide receivers coach Jim McElwain will be hired as Central Michigan’s new head football coach, per Evan Petzold of Central Michigan Life.

Stadium’s Brett McMurphy reports McElwain will be introduced to the public at a press conference Monday morning.

McElwain will replace the outgoing John Bonamego, who went 26-29 in four seasons as head coach, and will find himself walking into a fascinating situation, as CMU is coming off a program-worst 1-11 record. McElwain hold a career record of 44-28 in five full seasons and one half-season.
