NMSU Coach Wright Under Investigation for Posts

New Mexico State offensive coordinator Tyler Wright is under investigation for over 150 derogatory social media posts made between 2011 and 2014, which include racist, sexist, and homophobic remarks targeting women, LGBTQ+ individuals, Blacks, and Hispanics. Wright has been removed from team activities during the investigation, and the offensive line coach has taken over play-calling duties. Head coach Tony Sanchez and other university officials have not commented extensively on the matter, citing the ongoing investigation. Wright joined NMSU in 2021 and was promoted to offensive coordinator this year. The team showed offensive improvement in their recent game against New Mexico, despite losing 50-40.
