When is it going to leak out or get announced that Vigen is departing?

Just curious.

"Notable candidates reported to be in consideration
  • Matt Lubick: The current offensive coordinator at Kansas has reportedly been in talks with Colorado State. He is also the son of former CSU head coach Sonny Lubick.
  • Tony Alford: A former CSU running back and current Michigan assistant, Alford has publicly expressed interest in the job in the past and is once again a candidate.
  • Collin Klein: The offensive coordinator for Texas A&M is a Colorado native and a former Heisman Trophy finalist.
  • Brent Vigen: The current head coach at Montana State and a former assistant at Wyoming is also a reported candidate.
  • Bryan Harsin: The former Auburn and Boise State coach is currently the offensive coordinator at Cal and has also been mentioned.
Note: As of November 17, 2025, there has been no official announcement regarding a permanent head coach."
What is this from?
 
Vigen is interviewing this week for the OSU job remote and likely will have an in person interview next week during the off week. He’s top 3 for that job
OSU or CSU would be pretty great jobs honestly, the pay bump from the FCS is substantial, and the program is tortured enough that the fanbase and admin will be patient enough to give you time to try to build it into something functional. And if you do manage to make either program relevant, you’re immediately a candidate for the real big $ jobs that come available.
 
From John Canzano, a top PAC writer. Sixx is mentioned.

Someone who subscribes listed the Coaches:
-JaMarcus Shepard (Alabama Assistant Coach
-x1 FCS Coach (most likely Vigen)
-Paul Chryst (Former Wisconsin HC)
-Rolovich (Former Wazzu HC)
-Both Oregon Coordinators

Also from the same source supposedly Plough applied for the CSU job.

If you had to live in Oregon, you could do a lot worse than Corvallis. You avoid that mess to the South and North and you’re a short hop to the ocean or down to the redwoods area in California. Would be a hell of a lot better than the cluster in Northern Colorado.
 
Fort Collins is great if you don’t need to be in the Denver metro area. It is a lot better than Greeley just down the road without the feed lots and a strong beer scene. It sounds like Vigen and Rolovich are being floated as candidates but the fan base does not like either. The fans seem to not like Rolovich’s exit from WSU and think Vigen is not qualified, FCS to PAC 12 is too big of a jump. It does seem regardless of who they hire we won’t be seeing any major news from CSU for atleast a month.
 
No Lamson is done after the season in college football. The current 6th years are the last class to get a 6th year due to 2020’s season being canceled. He will need to apply for medical exemption.

Fan bases sentiment..in forums? It doesn't matter. The fans whose sentiments matter write really big checks.
 
I’ve heard the fan base throwing out big names that are probably unrealistic on who they want to hire like Brian Kelly would go to CSU. The athletic department seems to have floated a few names that the fan base has not liked.
