Chris Jans Signs Six-Year Extension at NMSU
Chris Jans did not end up at UTEP and today, his stay at NMSU has been extended through 2027. The Aggies announced that their head men s basketball coach agreed to a six-year contract extension that will keep him in Las Cruces through April 30th, 2027. From a competitive standpoint, Chris is 9-3 in rivalry games against New Mexico and UTEP, has won WAC regular season and tournament championships, and provided thrilling entertainment even in razor-thin losses at second-ranked Kansas and 2019 Final Four participant Auburn in the NCAA Tournament, NM State Director of Athletics Mario Moccia said in the official school release. In addition, prior to coach Jans arrival, our men s basketball program beat just one Power Five program in 17 years. Under his leadership, the Aggies have five such wins to their credit and as a result Chris has cemented NM State as one of the nation s premier mid-major programs.
