List of Head Coaches Fired/Resigned in College Football in 2021

Full Story on Steve Addazio Being Fired as Colorado State Football Head Coach

With Steve Addazio gone, now is the time for the Colorado State Rams to make a list of top candidates. In fact, the recognizable applicants could be qualified to become the team’s new head coach for the 2022 Season. CSU dismissed Addazio as head coach after just two seasons following their loss vs. Nevada. Associate Head Coach/RB Coach Brian White will coach the team on an interim basis. Addazio compiled a 4-12 overall record and 3-9 record in the Mountain West Conference. At the time of the firing announcement, the Rams were 3-9 overall (2-6 in the conference) during the 2021 season. Colorado St. began the campaign at 3-3, but ended up losing their next six games.

During his time in Fort Collins, Steve Addazio was unable to lead the Rams to any bowl games. In fact, CSU has not accomplished a winning record nor appeared in a bowl game since the 2017 New Mexico Bowl (7-6). The Rams are seeking their first bowl game victory since the 2013 New Mexico Bowl. Prior to becoming the Colorado St. head coach in 2020, Addazio held similar positions at Temple (2011-2012) and Boston College (2013-2019).
