CANYON, TEXAS – West Texas A&M Football is set to undergo a leadership change following the 2026 season. After ending this season at 4-7 and 4-5 in the Lone Star Conference (LSC), West Texas A&M Football will part ways with Head Coach Josh Lynn.
 
A comprehensive national search for West Texas A&M's next Head Coach will begin immediately.
 
"After thoughtful conversations and deliberation, I have determined that there is a need for a leadership change in our football program," said West Texas A&M Vice President of Athletics Doug Lipinski. "I would like to thank Coach Lynn for his four years of service to West Texas A&M and our student-athletes. Today is about a new beginning for West Texas A&M football."
 
"The shifting landscape of college football creates many opportunities," Lipinski said. "Our focus is to find a leader who will develop student-athletes, recruit and retain elite talent, achieve student-athlete success academically while building champions in competition and in life."
 
Lynn spent the past four seasons with the Buffaloes as he began his tenure in December of 2022 as the program's 29th Head Coach. WT produced a 20-24 record over his four seasons with an 18-17 mark in LSC play. His best season came in 2025 where the Buffs tallied an 8-4 record and beat Arkansas Tech in the Heritage Bowl Powered by Riot.
