WESTERN MICHIGAN AT CENTRAL MICHIGAN Saturday, November 22, 2014 Then, things went south. Kelly/Shorts Stadium Western quarterback Zach Terrell threw for 222 yards and Mount Pleasant, Mich. three touchdowns and the Chippewas committed three turnovers in falling to the Broncos, 32-20.

It was a bitterly disappointing loss for the Chippewas, who saw several seniors play their final game at Kelly/Shorts Stadium. Those seniors were introduced along with some of their respective family members on the field before the game.

Two critical plays helped swing the game in the Broncos’ favor.

Seven Mid-American Conference Titles (1979, 1980, 1990, 1994, 2006, 2007 & 2009) 11 Western Michigan at Central Michigan HEAD COACH John Bonamego FIRST SEASON 2-3

Central Michigan University named John Bonamego, who played at CMU during the mid 1980s, the 28th head football coach in school history on Sunday, Feb. 8. He is the first CMU alum to lead the football program since Bill Kelly in 1951-66.

Bonamego, a Paw Paw native, was a wide receiver/quarterback as a Chippewa. He was a walk-on who earned varsity letters in 1985-86 and twice earned the Iron Man Award as the defensive scout team player of the year.

Bonamego has spent the past two seasons as the Detroit Lions’ special teams coordinator. Last season, he helped lead the Lions to an 11-win season, their most victories since 1991, and a playoff berth.

Bonamego has 27 years of college and professional coaching experience, highlighted by 16 years in the NFL as an assistant, primarily as a special teams coordinator. Among all college football head coaches, he has the second-most years of NFL experience (16 years) after Jim Mora at UCLA. He is also one of only six active FBS head coaches to leave an NFL job for a head coaching gig, joining Temple’s Matt Rhule, Tulane’s Curtis Johnson, Iowa’s Kirk Ferentz, Michigan’s Jim Harbaugh and Florida International’s Ron Turner.
