Portland State Hires Central Washington’s Chris Fisk as New Head Football Coach
Chris Fisk, with a 48-22 record at Central Washington and four Division II playoff appearances, is tasked with reviving Portland State's program after a 1-11 season.
- This week Portland State named Chris Fisk its new head football coach, replacing longtime former head coach Bruce Barnum, who was fired on Nov. 22.
- Financial pressures and logistical hurdles have long burdened the program, which faces resource shortfalls, must play 'money' games, and holds home games nearly 15 miles from campus at Hillsboro Stadium.
- Fisk spent seven seasons building Central Washington into a winner, compiling a 48-22 record with four Division II playoff appearances and a 10-2 season with a 9-0 Lone Star Conference mark.
- Fisk met with players in Ellensburg Friday and said `I think Portland State football is a powder keg waiting to burst`; Billings called the hire `pleasing` and expects Fisk to be introduced early next week.
- Fisk inherits fundraising and NIL-era revenue challenges at Portland State, and he is the second head coach hired by Athletic Director Matt Billings since last winter.
