2024 New Mexico State Aggies football team

Following the conclusion of the 2023 season, second-year head coach Jerry Kill announced that he would be stepping down. Kill saw one of the largest turnarounds in college football history, leading the Aggies to bowl appearances in both of his seasons including a 10-win season in 2023, the program's first double-digit winning season since 1960. Wide receivers coach Tony Sanchez was named the Aggies' new head coach.{{cite web |publisher=ESPN |last=Thamel |first=Pete |url=https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/39174620/sources-new-mexico-st-head-coach-jerry-kill-stepping-down |title=Jerry Kill steps down, Tony Sanchez named new NMSU head coach |date=December 23, 2023 |access-date=September 24, 2024}} Special teams coordinator/tight ends coach Tyler Wright was promoted to offensive coordinator while Sam Houston defensive coordinator Joe Morris, originally hired as the Aggies' defensive line coach, was later named defensive coordinator after incumbent defensive coordinator Nate Dreiling left for Utah State.{{cite web |publisher=New Mexico State University Athletics |url=https://nmstatesports.com/staff-directory/tyler-wright/1445 |title=Tyler Wright - Offensive Coordinator/Quarterbacks |access-date=September 24, 2024}}{{cite web |publisher=New Mexico State University Athletics |url=https://nmstatesports.com/news/2024/1/13/football-joe-morris-named-next-aggie-defensive-coordinator.aspx |title=Joe Morris Named Next Aggie Defensive Coordinator |date=January 13, 2024 |access-date=September 24, 2024}}

On October 11, Wright was fired two weeks after a report on the presence of over 150 racist, sexist and homophobic posts on his X account made before joining New Mexico State's coaching staff.{{cite web |publisher=Las Cruces Sun-News |last=Coppola |first=Nick |url=https://www.lcsun-news.com/story/sports/college/nmsu/2024/09/27/new-mexico-state-football-offensive-coordinator-tyler-wright-social-media-150-racist-sexist-posts/75385716007/ |title=NMSU football play-caller Tyler Wright’s social media contains dozens of racist, sexist posts |date=September 27, 2024 |access-date=November 2, 2024}} Wright was indefinitely suspended while New Mexico State investigated the posts and missed games against New Mexico and Jacksonville State before being dismissed. Offensive line coach Andrew Mitchell assumed play-calling duties on an interim basis during the investigation and remained in the role after Wright's firing.{{cite web |publisher=Las Cruces Sun-News |last=Coppola |first=Nick |url=https://www.lcsun-news.com/story/sports/college/nmsu/2024/10/11/nm-state-football-tyler-wright-fired-after-investigation-into-social-media-posts/75630109007/ |title=NM State football: Tyler Wright fired after investigation into social media posts |date=October 11, 2024 |access-date=November 2, 2024}}
