Following the season, the school fired head coach Keith Urgo.^[1] A month later, the school was sanctioned by the NCAA for recruiting violations committed by Urgo. The school was forced to vacate wins across the 2022 and 2023 seasons and was fined and placed on probation for three years. Urgo received a two-year show cause penalty.^[2]

On April 3, 2025, the school named UC Riverside head coach Mike Magpayo the team's new head coach.^[3]
