Colorado State head coach Jim Mora said defensive coordinator Kenny McClendon has not been home in two weeks.

Jim Mora, Colorado State’s head coach, said Kenny McClendon, the Rams’ defensive coordinator, has not returned to his home for two weeks. According to Mora, McClendon has been sleeping at the team’s offices while working to improve the defense.
Earlier this month, Colorado State made a change at defensive coordinator. Tyson Summers left a game before it ended and was dismissed afterward. That sequence provides the backdrop for McClendon’s current situation.
This story could resonate with college football followers, athletes, and coaching staff by highlighting the intense demands placed on coordinators. It may prompt conversations about work-life balance and burnout in high-pressure sports roles. For Colorado State, the attention could influence how recruits, fans, and administrators perceive the program’s stability and commitment. These effects remain speculative and may depend on future performance and reporting.
