Western Michigan will not retain Tim Lester as football coach, according to a report from ESPN’s Pete Thamel.
The Broncos wrapped up a 5–7 season this weekend, marking the first time in six years as Western Michigan’s coach that Lester has posted a losing record.
Western Michigan went 37–32 over six seasons under Lester and posted a 26–20 record in MAC play. However, the Broncos never won their division, the MAC West, and as such never appeared in a conference title game with Lester at the helm.
Lester replaced P.J. Fleck, who left the Broncos for Minnesota following the 2016 season.
