Jay Norvell to coach in Pullman in 2022

... as the Colorado State head coach when they visit on September 17.

Surprised an intra-Mountain West move is the best one he could pull off, but apparently he was the lowest-paid coach in the conference and will be getting a decent raise. https://www.espn.com/college-footba...-nevada-wolf-pack-jay-norvell-next-head-coach

That is a little surprising. I thought WSU could have done better than Norvell (and confident they did) but I would not expect him to leave Nevada for Colorado State.

Agree, Glad. Very surprised that CSU has so much deeper pockets than Nevada. Doesn't make a lot of sense to me....?

Brand new stadium and more $

It's likely that our new DC Brian Ward left Nevada knowing that Norvell was going to leave. With a coaching change in Reno, I wonder if any Nevada players might consider entering the portal and perhaps following their defensive coach to Pullman? The Wolfpack is a pretty good team and there are at least a few very good players.

Might have been a quality of life move. Norvell is pushing 60 years old, so perhaps he prefers Colorado to Reno. I could see that.

Reno is a nice little town with plenty to do around there. I haven't been to Ft Collins before but have been to Denver. Is Ft Collins a more affluent town?

No, but some people don't like the gambling culture.
