LAS CRUCES, N.M. — New Mexico State didn't need to look far when searching for a new head football coach. Eleven days after Jerry Kill stepped down after two seasons with the Aggies, Tony Sanchez was officially introduced as the program's 36th head coach. The 49-year-old Sanchez was a wide receiver for New Mexico State from 1994-95 and coached that position the past two years. The Aggies had a 7-6 record in 2022, winning the Quick Lane Bowl, then went 10-5 last season and played for the Conference USA championship. It marked the school's first back-to-back bowl games since 1959-60.
