Nystrom had been on Dan Enos' staff since 2010 as special teams coordinator, linebackers coach

           
Central Michigan's head football coaching search is underway but, for now, the Chippewas have an interim.

They named special teams coordinator and linebackers coach Kyle Nystrom as interim head coach this morning.

Nystrom fills in for Dan Enos, who left CMU to become offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Arkansas earlier this week.
When Enos took the CMU job in 2010, he brought Nystrom in to his coaching staff as an associate head coach. Before that, Nystrom was an assistant at a number of stops, including Northern Michigan (1988), Western Michigan (1989-2001), TCU (2002-04), Depauw (2005), North Dakota State (2006-08) and Fort Hays State (2009).

Nystrom was a student assistant at Michigan State under George Perles in 1983 and graduated at MSU in 1988 with a degree in political science/criminal justice.
