Previous season[]
In a season limited due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the Aggies finished the 2020 conference-only season 1–5 to finish in 11th place in Mountain West play.[1] Head coach Gary Andersen was fired after going 0–3 in the first three games.[2] Co-defensive coordinator Frank Maile was named interim head coach.[3]
The final scheduled game of the season was canceled due to a Utah State player boycott.[4]
Following the season, the school named Arkansas State head coach Blake Anderson the team's new head coach.[5]
