Head football coach John Bonamego dives for a ball in an archive photo from Aug. 1987.
During his college football career, John Bonamego didn’t score touchdowns on Saturdays or have a scholarship paying his tuition. When you ask him about his collegiate football days, he said he wouldn’t change it if he had the chance.
After walking onto Central Michigan University’s football team and graduating from CMU in 1987, Bonamego began a coaching career that took him to the sport’s highest level and ultimately brought him back to his alma mater — three collegiate and five NFL assistant coaching jobs later.
