Western Michigan University Athletic Director Kathy Beauregard says head football coach P.J. Fleck had "other opportunities" during the off-season. But he will be back for the 2016 season. Beauregard sat down with WMUK's Gordon Evans and Battle Creek Enquirer Sports Columnist Bill Broderick. She says you have to plan ahead for the possibility that any coach may leave.
