John Bonamego served as head coach for four seasons.

MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. - Associate Vice President/Director of Athletics Michael Alford announced today that head football coach John Bonamego will not return.

"Making a leadership change is a difficult decision, especially when you know that coach has given his all to CMU," Alford said. "After conducting a 360-degree evaluation of the program, it was clear that a change is needed if we are going to compete for and win championships. We greatly appreciate all that John has done for his alma mater and wish him the best moving forward."

Bonamego just finished his fourth season at CMU with an overall record of 22-29 and a MAC record of 15-17. The Chippewas were 1-11 overall, 0-8 in conference action this past season.

Cory Hall will provide leadership for the program until a new head coach is named.

A national search will begin immediately with the assistance of DHR International.
