Bush Hamdan returning to Montlake to serve as Huskies’ offensive coordinator

Bush Hamdan is reuniting with Chris Petersen once again.

A former Boise State quarterback, Hamdan, 31, on Sunday was named Washington’s offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach, taking over after Jonathan Smith left to be the head coach at Oregon State.

Hamdan was on UW’s staff in 2015 as a quality-control coach and in 2016 as the wide receivers coach, helping John Ross and Dante Pettis to breakthrough seasons.

“He’s always been one of the best people, one of the most special people — just as a person. He gets it,” Petersen told The Times in 2016.
