Steve Addazio out as Colorado State football coach after two seasons, sources say

Steve Addazio is out as Colorado State football coach after two seasons, sources told ESPN on Thursday.

Colorado State finished 3-9 this season and lost its last six games. Addazio was ejected from the season-ending, 42-point loss to Nevada because of two unsportsmanlike conduct penalties.

Addazio's buyout dropped from $5 million to $3 million on Thursday. Colorado State was 1-3 in Addazio's first campaign in 2020, a season shortened because of COVID-19 issues.

Addazio was previously the head coach at Boston College (2013-19) and Temple (2011-12). He was a part of Urban Meyer's staff at Florida for the Gators' national championships in 2006 and 2008.
