BOISE, Idaho (CBS2) - Spencer Danielson has been named the head coach of Boise State football. Director of Athletics Jeramiah Dickey made the announcement Sunday.
"I value process over results. As exciting as it was to win the last three games and reclaim the conference championship, from the standpoint of hiring a head coach, it was more exciting to me to hear Spencer’s vision for the future and how he is going to approach the job full time. I am grateful for the work of our search committee to ensure we made the best decision for our student-athletes and Bronco Nation. I am extremely confident Spencer is an elite leader, a man of great substance and a rising star in the coaching profession who will lead Boise State football to a bright future," Dickey said.
Danielson becomes the 12th head coach in Boise State’s history as a four-year institution.
“I am so honored and excited to be able to stay at home here at Boise State and to keep guiding these incredible young men,” Danielson said. “It is truly a blessing to be here in the Treasure Valley and to lead this program. This place has become home for me and my family. I am incredibly thankful to Dr. Tromp and Jeramiah Dickey for their faith in me to lead the Broncos. When you play together and you love each other you can accomplish amazing things, and we’re just getting started.”
Danielson served as Boise State’s interim head coach the last three games. He guided the Broncos to three wins, including a victory in the 2023 Mountain West Football Championship Game at UNLV Saturday. He is the first interim head coach to lead his team to a conference championship game title in FBS history.
He has spent seven seasons at Boise State, including the past three as defensive coordinator and the previous two as co-defensive coordinator.
Boise State will play in the LA Bowl Hosted by Gronk against UCLA on Dec. 16 at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California. Kickoff is set for 5:30 p.m. MT.
