Cal Poly Football has parted ways with head coach Paul Wulff, according to a news release from Cal Poly Athletics on Sunday, Nov. 23.
Wulff was promoted from associate head coach in December 2022 after then-head coach Beau Baldwin left the position to join Arizona State’s coaching staff.
“I want to thank Coach Wulff for his years of service to Cal Poly both as an assistant and a head football coach,” Cal Poly Director of Athletics Carter Henderson said in a release on Gopoly.com. “He represented the Mustangs well and was extremely dedicated to this program. I wish him the absolute best moving forward.”
During Wulff’s tenure, the team went 10-24 overall and collected just five wins in Big Sky Conference play.
In the 2025 season, the team opened conference games with a win over nationally ranked Sacramento State, before sliding into a six-game losing streak and beating Eastern Washington in the season finale.
In both 2024 and 2023 the team only picked up two Division I wins, and have ended near the bottom of the Big Sky standings in each of the past three seasons.
Cal Poly was his second stop at a Big Sky school, starting his coaching career at Eastern Washington. At Eastern Washington he made the playoffs three times before taking a job at his alma mater Washington State.
Cal Poly announced that they would be starting a nationwide search for a head coach immediately.
