NMSU’s Walker To Coach The Football Team In 2010

New Mexico State head coach DeWayne Walker will coach the football team this year, according to a statement he released today.

“In order to put an end to wild speculation and inaccurate reporting, I am announcing that I will happily remain the head coach at New Mexico State University for the 2010 season,” Walker said. “I am proud to be a New Mexico State Aggie and remain committed to making this program a winning one. I feel good about the direction of our program. We are going to have a great recruiting class and hire excellent coaches. We are building a program that Aggie fans can be proud of. I want to thank New Mexico State University, Southern New Mexico residents and Aggies fans for being patient during this time. I am looking forward to the challenge of the 2010 season.”

Some media had been reporting that Walker would resign his position to become an assistant coach with the Seattle Seahawks.

New Mexico State finished 3-10 last season.
