The New Mexico State officially made Doug Martin its head football coach, removing the interim label from his title.
"Obviously with the resignation of Coach DeWayne Walker, we then engaged in a search process for a new head coach, interviewing four candidates including Doug Martin over the last few days. After that process the committee and I felt strongly that Doug would fit well as the Aggies' next head coach," said NMSU Athletics Director Boston in a school press release. "Doug's familiarity with Las Cruces, his desire to come back to Las Cruces, the overwhelming support of him as a candidate were all factors that went into the thought process. I'm very confident that Doug will provide great leadership in our effort to build a quality program as one that is defined as consistently bowl eligible. I look forward to working very closely with Doug to build a quality football program that we know everyone in Southern New Mexico, alumni across the state and the country would like to see. No one wants to see this program succeed anymore than I do."
Martin is the former head coach at Kent State University from 2004-10 and served as Aggie offensive coordinator in 2011.

About time!!
He should have been HC the day after Walker left!
The big question is:
Will Boston and croanies support him or will they continue to nickel & dime the program?
Is Coach Martin is ultra-confident or what!!
After what we've been thru in W & L's, and Boston's whole re-alignment mess.
We really need a guy that believes it can be done. Once the players believe so will the community!
I'm liking this guy by the minute!

Nothing impressive about his record,don't get your hopes up it will be the same old Aggie football program.
If you want a winner you hire a winning coach.
