We don’t cover sports much on these pages but when a Dearborn native gets a job as the new head coach of a Division 1 university that deserves an attaboy.

So to Edsel Ford High School graduate Dan Enos, who on Tuesday was named the new head football coach of Central Michigan University, we say well done.

Enos’ five year contract calls for a base annual salary of $250,000, with a $75,000 bonus for radio and television appearances, or $325,000 per year. Enos also could receive performance incentives.

Enos, 41, served as running backs coach at Michigan State University during the past three seasons after coaching the quarterbacks in 2006. Enos also played quarterback at Michigan State from 1987-1990.

While in high school, Enos earned all-state honors as a senior for then Coach Jack Bridges at Edsel Ford High School. He accounted for 5,743 total yards and 46 TDs during his prep career.
