Nystrom named interim head football coach
Kyle Nystrom, the Central Michigan University football team's assistant head coach and special teams coordinator since 2010, was announced as the program's interim-head coach on Saturday.
CMU Athletics announced the move via the CMU football twitter account.
Nystrom will oversee the program while the search continues for the next permanent CMU football coach. Athletic Director Dave Heeke said the search for CMU's next head coach will be "swift."
CMU is expected to hire a permanent coach in the next seven to 14 days, according to a report in Sports Illustrated.
A 1988 graduate of Michigan State University, Nystrom has coached linebackers like Shamari Benton and Justin Cherocci to All Mid-American Conference status.
Former head coach Dan Enos resigned on Thursday morning, taking the offensive coordinator job at Arkansas.
