Utah State University has hired former New Mexico head coach Bronco Mendenhall to take over as their new head coach, signing a six-year deal. Mendenhall, who led the Lobos to a 5-7 record in 2024, has a proven track record of success and a deep understanding of the game, making him an ideal choice to elevate the USU program according to athletic director Diana Sabau.

The university hopes that Mendenhall’s leadership will help propel the football program to new heights and have a positive impact on the school, students, alumni, and community.
Mendenhall, who has 140 career wins, has experience coaching in the region and was previously the head coach at BYU and Virginia. He has a passion for developing young players and transforming football programs, making him excited to join the Utah State team and strive for excellence.
Fans can expect exciting updates and coverage of the Group of Five on social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter. Mendenhall’s extensive coaching experience and commitment to developing young athletes make him a valuable addition to the Utah State University football program as they strive for success in the seasons to come.
