Overview

  • Colorado State dismissed the fourth-year coach a day after a 31-19 homecoming loss to Hawaii dropped the Rams to 2-5.
  • Defensive coordinator Tyson Summers was appointed interim head coach with immediate effect, with Wyoming up next in the Border War.
  • Norvell departs 18-26 overall after an 8-5 season and Arizona Bowl trip in 2024, followed by 2025 declines that left CSU outside the top 100 in scoring offense and defense.
  • The school said it has launched a national search as it prepares to transition from the Mountain West to the Pac-12 next season.
  • Reports indicate Norvell is owed a $1.5 million buyout, and the move comes during a wider run of in-season coaching changes across college football.
