Colorado State defensive coordinator Tyson Summers got the axe Saturday, fired by head coach Jim Mora right after their brutal 56-26 loss to Oregon State. This wasn’t some quiet post-game meeting either; the chaos erupted *during* the game itself.
Mid-Game Mayhem on the Sideline
Dude, get this: during that absolute shellacking against Oregon State, Kenny McClendon actually took over defensive play-calling. That’s right, *during* the game! Mora confirmed Summers “left the field” right after that mid-game demotion. Can you even imagine that scene? Your DC gets stripped of duties mid-game and just… dips. That’s some wild, unheard-of stuff in college football.
The Axe Drops After a 56-26 Shellacking
So, yeah, the writing was pretty much on the wall once McClendon stepped in. Mora officially fired Summers after the 56-26 beatdown. You don’t make a move like that in the middle of a game unless things are completely off the rails. Losing 56-26, and your defensive coordinator gets pulled mid-play, then fired post-game? That’s not just a bad day at the office, that’s a full-blown defensive collapse.
Now, the question is, who steps up for Colorado State’s defense going forward? After an in-game demotion and a post-game firing, Mora has some serious holes to fill on that coaching staff. This story’s definitely one to watch as they figure out who’s going to lead that unit.
