The Nevada football program will have a new head coach for the 2017 season.

Nevada athletics director Doug Knuth announced today that the university and head football coach Brian Polian have mutually agreed to part ways, according to a press release from the Nevada athletic department. The announcement comes on the heels of Nevada’s blowout win over rival UNLV to end the season and finishing 2016 with a 5-7 record. A national search for potential replacement candidates will be underway immediately.

“I appreciate the opportunity that I was given by President Johnson and the University of Nevada four years ago,” Polian said in a statement.
