Colorado State fires defensive coordinator Tyson Summers during blowout loss to Oregon State

Coverage spectrum

Covered by 3 outlets, all right-leaning.

3 articles in total. The spectrum counts each outlet once and leaves opinion out. How we measure bias

Colorado State head coach Jim Mora stripped defensive coordinator Tyson Summers of his play-calling duties during the Rams’ 56-26 loss to Oregon State on Saturday. Summers left the sideline on his own with about a minute left in the first quarter, after Oregon State had taken a 14-0 lead. Mora later confirmed Summers had been fired, saying Summers “made the decision on his own to leave the field.” Co-defensive coordinator Kenny McClendon took over play-calling for the remainder of the game. The loss followed a 59-45 defeat to UTSA the previous week, dropping Colorado State to 2-3 on the season and 0-1 in Pac-12 play. Summers had previously served as Colorado State’s interim head coach in late 2025.
