New Mexico State football head coach Jerry Kill is stepping down, according to a report from ESPN senior writer Pete Thamel.
The Aggies are expected to promote Tony Sanchez — former UNLV head coach and current NSMU wide receivers coach — as the program’s new head coach, according to multiple reports.
NSMU quarterback Diego Pavia tweeted following the reports:
“I LOVE YOU COACH KILL.
“Forever changed my life.”
This season, the Cheney, Kansas native led NMSU to the program’s second-ever 10-win season and the first since 1960. The Aggies also managed an eight-game win streak, marking their longest in over 60 years.
Also under his leadership, NMSU made two consecutive bowl appearances. The Aggies beat Bowling Green 24-19 in the 2022 Quick Lane Bowl and fell to Fresno State 37-10 in the 2023 Isleta New Mexico Bowl.
Kill was named the Conference USA Co-Coach of the Year and earned AFCA Region 4 Coach of the Year honors.
