Nevada Football Coach Ken Wilson Fired After Two Disastrous Seasons

Potential replacements being considered as program grapples with financial and facility challenges.

Nevada football coach Ken Wilson has been fired after two consecutive 2-10 seasons, ending his tenure after only two seasons.
Wilson's buyout dropped from $1.5 million to $1 million on Friday, and he had been signed through the 2026 season.
Potential candidates for the job include former Washington State head coach Nick Rolovich, former Boise State head coach Bryan Harsin, Texas co-defensive coordinator Jeff Choate, USC defensive backs coach Donte Williams and former Navy head coach Ken Niumatalolo.
Nevada's football program has been struggling with financial support and facilities, lacking an indoor practice facility which is a problem with periodic snow.
Despite the recent poor performance, Nevada had been a consistent winner, reaching 14 bowl games over 17 seasons from 2005 through 2021.
