Western Michigan has fired football coach Tim Lester after six seasons of mixed results — there was no MAC title, but he still made three bowl games, and beat CMU four times.

AD Dan Bartholomae would like to have a new coach by Signing Day, Dec. 21.https://t.co/yKYCtRDrY7

Buyout for WMU football coach Tim Lester is $500K.

Just spoke to AD Dan Bartholomae, who calls this "an incredibly tough decision." "You're talking about an alumnus who does everything the right way. … He's a guy of integrity."

Dan lacked confidence in "plan moving forward."
