Bronco Mendenhall: New Mexico’s Next Head Coach and Former Assistant Returns
Former Virginia and BYU head coach Bronco Mendenhall is being targeted as the next head coach for the New Mexico Lobos, according to ESPN college football insider Pete Thamel. Mendenhall, who had a career record of 135-81 in 17 seasons as a head coach, is expected to reach a deal with New Mexico in the near future. The Lobos recently fired their previous head coach, Danny Gonzales, after four seasons with a record of 11-32.
Mendenhall's potential hiring at New Mexico is significant because it brings an experienced and successful head coach to a program that has struggled in recent years. The Lobos hope that Mendenhall's track record of bowl appearances and success at BYU and Virginia will help elevate their program.
Mendenhall's potential hiring at New Mexico highlights the ongoing trend of college football programs looking to bring in established head coaches to turn around struggling programs. It also underscores the importance of hiring the right coach to lead a team to success.
If Mendenhall becomes the head coach of the New Mexico Lobos, it could signal a new era of success for the program. His track record suggests that he has the ability to lead the team to improved performance and a higher level of competitiveness.
