Pac-12 Team Fires Coach After 30-Point Blowout Loss
After losing 3 straight games and allowing an average of 52 points during that span, Colorado State has fired the man responsible.
Colorado State University's football team has terminated the contract of head coach Jim Mora following a 56-26 devastating loss to Oregon State. The Rams had started the season with two impressive victories over Wyoming and Southern Utah. However, they have struggled immensely since, succumbing to defeats against BYU, UTSA, and Oregon State.
The defense conceded an alarming average of 52 points per game during this challenging period. Mora's decision came after the particularly lopsided 56-26 defeat. Tyson Summers, who served as the defensive coordinator, has been let go, with ESPN's Pete Thamel reporting on X that he was replaced as play caller in the Oregon State game.
Summers, who joined Colorado State in 2025, previously held the same position at Western Kentucky. He took over as interim head coach midway through the 2025 season, going 0-5 before being retained by Mora. The team's most likely candidate to take over as defensive coordinator for the remainder of the season is assistant head coach Kenny McClendon, who currently serves as co-defensive coordinator.
