Utah State head coach Matt Wells has the chance this upcoming season to throw a bucket of cold water over the hot coals under his seat from the last few seasons. Going 3-9 in the 2016 season, those coals were blazing, and Wells faced enormous pressure going into last season with a tough schedule featuring two powerful FBS teams in non-conference play and a tougher-than-usual conference slate. Despite the struggle, Wells coached like a man desperate and did exactly what he needed to do to keep his job. Nothing more, nothing less.
