Nevada fired head coach Ken Wilson on Friday, according to a report from Yahoo Sports’ Ross Dellenger.
Wilson coached the Wolf Pack to a 4-20 record and a 2-14 record in Mountain West conference play over the past two seasons.
Nevada won at least seven games in the previous four seasons before Wilson was hired, making four consecutive bowl games under former coach Jay Norvell. The Wolf Pack only failed to qualify for a bowl game three times from 2005 to 2021. Wilson’s first season was the first time Nevada failed to win three games since 2000.
The Athletic’s Bruce Feldman listed XFL offensive coordinator Nick Rolovich as a top name to watch for the vacancy. Rolovich was previously a head coach for Hawaii and Washington State, and he served as Nevada’s offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach from 2012-15.
