Another MWC head football coach gets fired

https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/38980423/new-mexico-fires-danny-gonzales-four-years

With Avalos getting fired and the San Diego State head coach retiring that makes three new MWC head football coaches - at the very least - for the 2024 season.

New Mexico firing their head coach is interesting. I feel like new Mexico did better this year than in prior years, but then again I don't really pay them much attention tbh

I agree on that.  This was the best season New Mexico has had in quite a while. But seeing as those in control at New Mexico chose to fire him - just when he was making the football team better - it's easy to understand WHY they have had such an awful program for so very long.   When the people in charge are fools failure is certain.

To be fair, he had 4 years and went 2-5, 3-9, 2-10, 4-8. And 5-26 in conference games. Just not good enough, especially when NMSU is ‘killing’ it.

To be even fairer...........his record is the best record New Mexico has had in football in DECADES.

False, they were 9-4 in 2016 and beat Boise on the blue. But Bob Davie behavior makes our “toxic” Avalos allegations laughable.

Outside of the last 5 years and the 3 years Locksley was there, they’ve been decent the last few decades.
