LOGAN, Utah – Utah State Vice President and Director of Athletics John Hartwell announced Thursday that Matt Wells has resigned as the head football coach for the Aggies and a national search for USU's next head coach has already begun.
 
Statement from John Hartwell:
"I would like to thank Matt and his wife Jen for their significant contributions to Utah State University. Matt and his staff did an outstanding job of making Aggie football one of the best programs in the West. This is a special place and I am as excited as ever about our bright future.
 
"This is an extremely attractive job and we have already had tremendous interest from some very good football coaches and some very good people. We have a roster full of talented young men who represent Utah State University very well on the field, in the classroom and in the community.
 
"We will move as quickly and efficiently as we can with this search, but at the end of the day, we want to make sure we have the right person to build upon our success."
