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.
On Friday night, several news outlets reported that Boise State has hired Andy Avalos to be its new head football coach. That means Montana State football head coach Jeff Choate will be staying with the Bobcats. Here s what Choate Tweeted out shortly after Boise State made their announcement. God is good. I’m so thankful for all the love and support I’ve received over the past several weeks. While I’m appreciative to have had the opportunity to engage with Boise State, I’m thankful to be the head coach at Montana State University.
This is great news for the Bobcats, who are getting set for their 2021 Spring season, which was moved from the fall because of COVID-19.
