Fido[New Mexico's Bob] Davie and athletic director Eddie Nunez announced a day earlier that the former Notre Dame coach will step down after Saturday's game against Utah State, calling it a mutual decision.
==========
New Mexico is 2-9 with 8 losses in a row going into the final game this weekend.
=======================================================================================
[UNLV's] Tony Sanchez, who was the driving force behind the Fertitta Football Complex but didnât experience nearly as much success on the field, was fired after nearly five seasons.
...
UNLV owes Sanchez, 45, who went 19-40, an approximately $600,000 buyout with two years left on his contract.
...
Reed-Francoisâ track record suggests she would like to hire a coach building his career, such as Weber Stateâs Jay Hill or a coordinator at a major college football program.
The new coach will be able to take advantage of the $34.8 million, two-story, 73,000-square-foot complex that Sanchez helped get built. That facility, which opened in mid-October, is seen as a recruiting boon that aids player development with its emphasis on nutrition and training.
===========
UNLV is 3-8 going into the final week and hasn't been to a bowl game since 2013.
