At the beginning of the 2019 season, there were quite a few Mountain West teams hiring new head coaches in Colorado State, Hawaii, Fresno State, UNLV, New Mexico, and San Diego State. This year there looks like two teams that will be playing next season with a new head coach, and both are unexpected.
Utah State and Boise State will both be entering the 2021 season with new head men running the program. For Utah State, Gary Andersen is out after two years during his second run at the school and for Boise State, Bryan Harsin leaves after spending seven years at his alma mater.
