Jerry Kill Named Head Football Coach at NM State

LAS CRUCES, N.M. – One of college football's most well-respected program rebuilders has been selected as the new leader of NM State football.
 
Monday afternoon, NM State Director of Athletics Mario Moccia introduced Jerry Kill as the 35th head coach of the NM State football program.

"As the Director of Athletics and an alumni of New Mexico State University, I couldn't be more pleased to announce Jerry Kill as our new head football coach," Moccia remarked. "For our program to attract not only a proven winner at multiple levels of football, but also someone who has consistently turned programs around, makes this a very exciting day for Aggie Nation."

Over the course of his 23-year career as a head coach at the NCAA Division II, FCS and FBS levels, Kill has generated a 154-101 record while making six bowl game appearances.

"Working daily with Coach Kill when we were at Southern Illinois University allowed me to witness first-hand the love and respect his players had for him as well as his work ethic and intensity," continued Moccia. "I also expect he will be embraced by our community in short order as he has been heavily involved in every community he has coached in."
