Bryan Harsin (Arkansas State) named new Boise State coach

[skjellyfetti]

Crazy amount of turnover at Arkansas State... 5 coaches in 5 years...

2010 - Steve Roberts (fired after nine seasons)
2011 - Hugh Freeze (went to Ole Miss)
2012 - Guz Malzahn (went to Auburn)
2013 - Bryan Harsin (went to Boise St)
2014 - New Coach

Boise State has hired Arkansas State coach Bryan Harsin, the school announced Wednesday.

USA TODAY Sports reported the hiring earlier in the day.

Harsin, 37, went 7-5 last season in his first year as a head coach. He was an assistant at Boise from 2002-2010 before going to Texas as offensive coordinator for two years.

Harsin replaces Chris Petersen, who was hired Friday to take the job at Washington.

"We are extremely excited in our selection of Bryan Harsin as the next head football coach at Boise State," Boise State athletic director Mark Coyle said in a statement. "Bryan is one of the top young head coaches in college football and we are thrilled to bring him back to Boise to lead the Bronco program. Bryan played a key role in the development of the football program as an assistant for 10 years at Boise State and we look forward to his leadership as we continue the ascension of Bronco football."

And the team has won our shared last 3 SBC titles. Impressive hires, and success, all things considered.

This has to be a first at any level of football. Unreal.

And already targeting Clemson's Chad Morris (unlikely) and Baylor's OC, Philip Montgomery. They are unfazed by the fear of hiring a guy who has higher aspirations than Ark St. I hope we have the same mindset going forward.

Clemson Chad is so overrated. A real defense will always shut down that house of smoke and mirrors.
