Colorado State Fires Coach Jay Norvell After 2-5 Season Start

News summary

Colorado State University has fired head football coach Jay Norvell midway through his fourth season after the Rams started 2-5 and struggled offensively, including a recent loss to Hawai'i. Norvell's overall record at CSU was 18-26, with a 13-13 mark in the Mountain West Conference, and his tenure was marked by injury issues, inconsistent performance, and fan frustration. His best season was in 2024 when the team went 8-5 and reached the Arizona Bowl but lost to Miami (Ohio). Norvell, 62, came to CSU in 2022 after a successful stint at Nevada, where he compiled a 33-26 record and led the team to four consecutive bowl appearances. The decision to fire him was announced after a staff meeting on Sunday, with CSU's new athletic director John Weber, a CSU alum, set to make his first coaching hire. Norvell is owed a $1.5 million buyout and is the first CSU coach to be fired midseason since 1981; an interim coach has not yet been named.
