Head Coach Jody Sears of the Sacramento State Hornets looks on from the sidelines against the California Golden Bears during the first quarter of an NCAA Football game at Kabam Field at California Memorial Stadium.

Jody Sears, the head football coach of Sacramento State, will not return for the 2019 season, according to Director of Athletics Mark Orr.

This past season, the Hornets finished with a 2-8 overall record and 0-7 in the Big Sky Conference.

"Decisions like this are never easy," Orr said, in a press release. "I would like to thank Coach Sears for his dedication to the student-athletes and the program over the last five years."

Sears coached five seasons at Sacramento State while compiling a 20-35 overall record. The 2017 season proved to be his best as he was named Big Sky Co-Coach of the Year after leading the squad to a 7-4 record.

The school says a national search for the next head coach at Sacramento State will begin immediately.
