Utah State Fires Coach Amid Title IX Violations

Utah State University fired football coach Blake Anderson for significant violations of his contract and Title IX reporting requirements. The termination followed an investigation into alleged noncompliance with policies on sexual misconduct reporting and team management. Anderson's attorney plans to contest the firing, seeking his full buyout and a public apology. The coach's response to the termination letter highlighted concerns about the fairness of the investigation and emphasized the need for legal action against the university. Defensive coordinator Nate Dreiling has been appointed as the interim coach for the upcoming season amidst the ongoing legal actions and personnel changes within the program.
