Northwest Missouri State University has announced that there will be a leadership change for the football program next season.
Head Coach Rich Wright's contract will not be renewed, effective December 31st, after serving as head coach for eight seasons. Northwest closed out the season with a 23-7 loss to Pittsburg State, leaving the final record at 6-5 overall, 6-4 in the MIAA.
Athletic Director Andy Peterson says a national search for the next head coach will begin immediately. In the interim, Co-Defensive Coordinator and Linebackers coach Chad Bostwick will serve as the interim head coach.
