Broncos defensive coordinator Spencer Danielson was named the interim head coach and will coach the team for the duration of the regular season.
The firing of Avalos comes on the heels of a 42-14 win over New Mexico on Saturday night. The Broncos sit at 5-5 on the season and are in the mix for the Mountain West championship.
However, the program decided it was time to move on.
