Athletic Director Search
After fourteen years as athletic director, Peter Fields's contract was not to be renewed for the 2016 season. On May 2, Montana State officially introduced Kyle Brennan as the new athletic director. However, on May 10th, Brennan backed out of the job citing that the job "didn't feel right". Later that same day, MSU announced that they would hire Leon Costello as the new athletic director.
