MOSCOW, Idaho – The University of Idaho and head football coach Paul Petrino will part ways after Saturday's season finale at Idaho State, Athletic Director Terry Gawlik announced Thursday.

Petrino is 33-66 in his nine seasons at the helm of the Vandals. His tenure was highlighted by the 2016 season that saw the Vandals go 9-4 and take home the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl Championship with a 61-50 win over Colorado State. His time in Moscow also included a transition from FBS to FCS and a return to the Big Sky Conference.
