Boise State, Danielson Agree to Five-Year Extension

Boise State finalized a five-year contract extension for head football coach Spencer Danielson, 36, doubling his salary to an average of $2.2 million per year for a total of nearly $11 million. Danielson guided the Broncos to a 12-2 record, a Mountain West title, a College Football Playoff appearance, and a Fiesta Bowl berth in his first full season. Under his leadership, Ashton Jeanty became the program's highest-ever NFL draft pick. Danielson is now the second-highest paid coach in the Mountain West, and the extension will see him lead the team through its final Mountain West season before transitioning to the new Pac-12. The deal also includes plans for increased investment in assistant coaches and player compensation. This move reflects Boise State's commitment to maintaining its competitive edge.
