PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) 鈥� The Big Sky Conference’s Portland State Vikings have named Chris Fisk as the team’s new head football coach.
Fisk has spent the last seven seasons at Central Washington, amassing a 48-22 record and taking the team to the Division II playoffs for the last three seasons.
Central Washington finished the 2025 season 9-0 in the Lone Star Conference and 10-2 overall. The Wildcats lost in the first round of the playoffs, 27-20 to Western Colorado.
鈥淚 think Portland State football is a powder keg waiting to burst,” Fisk said in a statement Friday. “There are so many great opportunities surrounding this job and I鈥檓 excited about bringing Portland State University Football back where it belongs.鈥�
Fisk, 48, replaces longtime Vikings coach Bruce Barnum, who was fired on Nov. 22 after going 1-11 this season. Barnum went 39-75 in 11 seasons at Portland State.
