GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — After taking a few months to re-charge, Tim Lester is ready to get back to work.
The former Western Michigan head football coach has been hired by the Green Bay Packers. Lester will serve as a Senior Analyst for head coach Matt LaFleur.
The two men have a history together--LaFleur was a backup quarterback for the Broncos in 1998 and 1999 while Lester was the starting QB.
"I'm excited to work with him!," exclaimed Lester.
Lester had a record of 37 wins and 32 losses in six years as head coach in Kalamazoo. He also went 1-2 in bowl games, leading the Broncos to their second ever bowl win in the Quick Lane Bowl in Detroit in 2021. He finished 5 and 7 in 2022 and was fired three days after the regular season ended.
After division one stops at Syracuse, Purdue and Western Michigan, this will be Lester's first NFL job.
