US EditionColorado State Fires Coach Jay Norvell After a 2-5 Start and a Year Removed From a Bowl Game
- On October 19, 2025, Colorado State University fired head football coach Jay Norvell following the Rams' 31-19 loss to Hawai'i at Canvas Stadium; he finished with an 18-26 record.
- Offensive problems, including quarterback struggles with Brayden Fowler-Nicolosi and a late change to Jackson Brousseau, deepened CSU's slide during recent losses at Washington State and San Diego State.
- Financial and leadership steps included a buyout and an interim appointment as CSU will pay a $1.5 million buyout to Norvell and named defensive coordinator Tyson Summers interim head coach.
- Athletic director John Weber said `My admiration for Jay and appreciation for his integrity make this decision that much more difficult` and will make his first coaching hire since his May 2024 appointment.
- As CSU prepares to join the Pac-12 Conference next year, the program will have a new coach and still has five remaining regular-season games.
