Earlier today, New Mexico head football coach Bob Davie announced that defensive coordinator/defensive backs coach Jeff Mills will not return to the team next season.
Mills was fired after only two years as defensive coordinator.
“I appreciate the contribution Jeff made to Lobo Football as we continue to rebuild this program,” Davie said in a statement. “Jeff is one of the smartest and hardest working coaches I have ever been around. I wish him well and know he will continue to have success in college football.”
The Lobos’ defense was one of the worst in college football this season, ranking 119th out of 123 College Football Subdivision teams in total defense. UNM allowed 516.6 yards per game.
