Jack Bush joined the Hillsdale College football coaching staff as its new Running Backs Coach in February of 2024, bringing a new energy to the position group.
In his first season with the Chargers in 2024, Hillsdale led the Great Midwest Athletic Conference in rushing yardage per game thanks in part to Bush's development of the running back position throughout the season. Entering the 2025 campaign this fall, Bush will continue to work with the running backs while also adding responsibility over the team's tight ends to his role.
Bush came to Hillsdale in 2024 after spending two seasons as a coach at the NCAA DI level, first as a Volunteer Offensive Quality Control and Assistant Tight Ends Coach at Northwestern University in 2022, followed by a year as an Offensive Graduate Assistant at Central Michigan University in 2023. On top of working with players, his duties with the two programs included working with Visio to build virtual playbooks and scout cards, as well as data entry and player evaluation on XOS/Catapult video platforms and Pro Football Focus.
Prior to his work at the NCAA DI level, Bush also spent a year as quarterbacks coach at his alma mater, Chelsea High School, in 2018, helping guide the Bulldogs to the MHSAA Division 4 state final and developing an All-State quarterback.
Bush graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Finance from Albion College in December 2021. A four-year starting quarterback for the Britons, Bush guided the Albions to two MIAA championships and a 22-1 record as a starter while completing 64 percent (422 of 657) of his passes and throwing for 5,651 yards and 56 touchdowns in 27 career games played. He also rushed for two touchdowns.
As a junior, Bush was named the 2021 MIAA Offensive Most Valuable Player after he led the Britons to a 9-2 overall record, 5-1 league record and threw for 27 touchdowns and 2,228 yards, completed 65 percent (164-253) of his passes and averaged 247.6 yards passing per game. He was a three-time All-MIAA quarterback, two-year team captain, and also served on Albion’s Leadership Council for four years.
During his prep career at Chelsea, Bush was a three-year starter who led the Bulldogs to three district titles in football and runner-up honors at the 2015 MHSAA Division 3 state finals. A three-sport athlete at Chelsea, Bush also led the Bulldogs to district titles in basketball and baseball.
