Early internal NMSU candidates

Athletics director McKinley Boston said Tuesday morning that he expects NMSU defensive coordinator Joe Lee Dunn and running backs coach/recruiting coordinator Earnest Wilson to apply for the head coaching job.

Hal Mumme was fired on Tuesday after four years and just 11 wins as the program's head coach.

No to JLD, yes to Ernest Wilson. JLD would just be another retread like Mumme ... Coach Wilson is a genuinely nice guy, but can turn on the heat in a second ... he's charismatic, smart and players respect him greatly. I hope that he gets a fair chance.

The running backs coach? Really? The same guy that recruited and inspired the -37 yards rushing effort in the loss to Utah State. Come on guys, get serious.
