Utah State assistant Frank Maile has been named the Aggies' interim head football coach after the departure of Matt Wells, USU athletic director John Hartwell said Friday.
Maile, the Aggies' assistant head coach under Wells, will be in charge through the upcoming bowl game — which will be announced Sunday — and will also be “the bridge from a recruiting standpoint,” Hartwell told reporters during a conference call.
Wells, who accepted a job with Texas Tech and is taking coordinators David Yost and Keith Patterson with him, will be “heavily involved” with practice and game planning for the bowl game, Hartwell said.
