Doug Martin's contract will not be renewed as the head football coach at New Mexico State. Here is a look at the New Mexico State football program since 2008 (the first year that of complete data I have). This time period only covers the last five seasons of head football coach DeWayne Walker (2008-2012), and Doug Martin (2013-2021). After the figure below is a more detailed look at the New Mexico State Aggies football program during head coach Martin's tenure based on the Complex Invasion College Football Production Model using data provided by www.cfbstats.com.
