Two years into an unlikely resuscitation of New Mexico State's football program, coach Jerry Kill is stepping down, sources told ESPN.
Kill's decision came in recent days, and the school has already found an internal replacement in wide receivers coach Tony Sanchez, sources told ESPN. Sanchez is the former head coach at UNLV.
Kill led New Mexico State to one of the sport's most distinct turnarounds in the last decade, as they went 17-11 in his two years as head coach. That included back-to-back bowl appearances and a 10-5 season in 2023, the school's first double-digit win season since 1960.
