Sources: Boise State to Hire Spencer Danielson as Permanent Coach

Boise State has elevated interim coach Spencer Danielson to the full-time job, sources tell Sports Illustrated.

Danielson led the Broncos to a surprise Mountain West Conference title after taking over when the program fired Andy Avalos. The Broncos won their last four games of the season, routing UNLV in the MWC championship game.

Danielson led the team to a 44–20 win over UNLV.

Boise is headed to face UCLA in the LA Bowl. Bruins coach Chip Kelly said today that Boise State should hire Danielson. “They’re a well-coached football team,” Kelly said.

Danielson has been co-defensive coordinator at Boise since 2021 and has been on staff there since 2017.
