Boise State took the sizeable first step for the future of the program by hiring Andy Avalos over the weekend...now we know the IDs of his most important hires.
Earlier this evening, Avalos and the school announced that Spencer Danielson will be retained as defensive coordinator—a role he shared with Jeff Schmedding the last two seasons (Schmedding has followed Harsin to Auburn). Danielson is an Avalos protege, so this move makes perfect sense. Considering Danielson is also a player favorite, this seems like a slam dunk retention. Danielson will also coach inside linebackers for the Broncos next season.
