Today, New Mexico State University announced a major coaching change for their football program. After four seasons at the helm, Doug Kill has stepped down as head coach and has been replaced by former assistant coach, Mario Sanchez.
The move comes after a disappointing season for the Aggies, who finished with a 4-8 record. Kill had been with the program since 2016 and had led them to two bowl games in his tenure. However, the team had struggled in recent years and the administration felt it was time for a change.
Sanchez has been with the program since 2017 and has been an assistant coach for the past three seasons. He is well-respected by the players and staff and is seen as a great fit for the job. He has also been an integral part of the team’s recruiting efforts and is known for his ability to develop young talent.
The university is hoping that Sanchez can turn things around and bring the program back to its former glory. He inherits a team that has plenty of talent but needs to find consistency on the field. He will also have to work to build a winning culture in the locker room and get the most out of his players.
It will be interesting to see how Sanchez fares in his first season as head coach. He certainly has the support of the administration and fans, and now it’s up to him to make the most of this opportunity. The future of New Mexico State football is in his hands, and everyone is eager to see what he can do.
