San Diego State officially named Colorado offensive coordinator Sean Lewis as their new head coach on Wednesday. The Aztecs were reportedly targeting Lewis as the hire on Tuesday.
“San Diego State University, my family and I can’t express how excited we are to be joining this incredible community,” Lewis said in a statement. “We are looking forward to partnering with all of you in serving and leading our amazing football program. This time is now to support and make Snapdragon Stadium the place to be for Fast, Physical, Fun Aztec Football.”
Lewis was the head coach at Kent State before leaving to join Deion Sanders in Colorado this season. In those five years, Lewis went 24–31 leading the Golden Flashes, and went 1–1 in two bowl game appearances.
