Former Western Michigan coach P.J. Fleck pushed Shakir Carr out of the door, and he gave Keegan Cossou an arrogant, stuck-up impression, they said.
In turn, both players decided to continue their football career at Western Michigan’s rival – Central Michigan University.
Carr, a now-fifth-year senior, received an offer from former Western Michigan head coach Bill Cubit on May 8, 2012, as a three-star prospect from Clay High School in South Bend, Indiana.
Seven months later, WMU announced the hiring of Fleck as the new head coach. He signed a five-year, $392,000 contract and immediately cut ties with most of the 2013 recruiting class – including Carr.
