  • Next Head Football Coach At WNMU?

    It's been almost a month since Coach Vigil announced that he's leaving WNMU for CSU Pueblo. I haven't seen anything posted on the Mustangs website about a new hire. A month is a long time to go without finding a replacement. Does anyone know anything that hasn't been officially announced? Any rumors? I'm curious.

    They hired Hunter Hughes as the head coach remotely from Canyon.

      I'll miss Coach Vigil. He did a great job! From a LSC bottom dweller to a winning record in just two seasons.

        It's tough losing a great coach. We have been looking for another one at WT for 10 seasons. I hope your wait is shorter!

              I believe the OC Billy Hickman is now the HC.

                Thanks! They haven't posted it on the WNMU football website yet. I just checked again and it still says Vigil. Maybe they'll get around to updating it this week.

                    From Footballscoop.com

                    Sources: Billy Hickman finalizing deal to become head coach at Western New Mexico
                    Western New Mexico (D-II) is looking to keep things in house for the new leader of their program.

                    Sources tell FootballScoop that Billy Hickman is finalizing a deal to become the new head coach of the Mustangs.

                    He spent the past two years with the program as offensive coordinator and offensive line coach.

                    Before coming to Western New Mexico, Hickman previously served as the offensive coordinator at Luther College (D-III - IA) from 2018-20, where he helped the program lead the league in rushing for extend their streak to seven seasons in a row with that honor.

                    He also previously served as the offensive coordinator at Tabor (NAIA - KS) from 2010-17. There, he was named NAIA Assistant Coach of the Year from the AFCA in 2017 and helped the program capture three-straight conference titles and set numerous team and individual records, including the single-season rushing record of over 4,058 in 2014.
                    Who was the first person to look at a cow and say, "I think I'll squeeze these dangly things here, and drink whatever comes out?"

                      WNMU didn't make an official announcement until this past week (February 8th). Better late than never.
