Portland State football will be getting a new head coach.

Jerry Glanville, the enigmatic former NFL coach who created a media stir upon his arrival at Portland State in 2007, is rumored to be out after just three seasons and an overall record of 9-24 at the helm of Vikings football.

Portland State Athletics Director Torre Chisholm declined to comment on the matter, but a press conference is scheduled for today to discuss the future of the football program, and it is expected that the official announcement will be made then.

A source from within the Athletics Department said the general consensus is that Glanville’s future with the program was determined after Saturday’s loss to Idaho State, the team’s fifth straight.

Glanville, 68, led the Vikings to a record of 2-9 this season, 1-7 in conference—the worst record the program has seen since starting Division I play. The last time Portland State went 2-9 was as a Division II program in 1982.
