Coaching changes

On July 2, 2024, Utah State announced that it intended to fire head coach Blake Anderson following an internal investigation; Anderson was formally fired on July 18.[1][2] Anderson was dismissed due to allegedly being non-compliant with the university's Title IX policies stemming from an incident that occurred in spring 2023.[3] Defensive coordinator Nate Dreiling was named the Aggies' interim head coach.[4]
