Boise State's football program is zeroing in on its next head coach, and it's a familiar one.
Oregon defensive coordinator Andy Avalos is finalizing a deal to become the next head coach at Boise State, according to
The Idaho Press. The 39-year-old is a former star linebacker and coach, even spending three years as a defensive coordinator for the team before heading to Oregon after the 2018 season.
Avalos will be replacing Bryan Harsin, who left after seven seasons to become Auburn's new head coach. It's rumored that the former Boise State player beat out list of candidates that included Florida offensive coordinator Brian Johnson, USC offensive coordinator Graham Harrell and Montana State head coach Jeff Choate.
