Report: Utah State to hire New Mexico’s Bronco Mendenhall as next head coach

Utah State is set to hire Bronco Mendenhall as its next head coach, ESPN’s Pete Thamel reported. He’s coming off his lone season at New Mexico after returning to the sidelines.

Mendenhall is no stranger to the Utah scene. He spent two years as the defensive coordinator at BYU from 2003-04 before moving up to head coach from 2005-15. During his time at the helm, he totaled a 99-43 record, including a 33-9 mark in Mountain West play before the Cougars went independent.

Mendenhall then took over as the head coach at Virginia in 2016. He went 36-38 overall and 22-27 in ACC play before stepping away at the end of the 2021 regular season. That was his last coaching job until this past season when he re-emerged at New Mexico, where he previously served as defensive coordinator from 1998-2002.
