Eastern Michigan hired Boisture as its head football coach in July 1967.[2] Boisture later commented that he was willing to go to a smaller school, saying, "There weren't many jobs open . . . Joan and I looked at the campus. It was a cute campus."[3] Under his leadership, the team produced the longest period of sustained success since Elton Rynearson's days. The team posted winning seasons in all seven years of Boisture's coaching, including a 13-game winning streak that remains a school record.[4]
