After KTVB broke the news earlier this week that Boise State would rehire Dirk Koetter on a one-year deal as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach, the school officially announced the move in a press release on Wednesday. 

"I am happy to be back, even if I didn't see this coming, Koetter noted in the release. "When offered me this opportunity, I said yes for four reasons with the first being my utmost belief in and respect for Coach D and what he is building here. It was also because of my respect for the tradition of Bronco Football and how highly I think of this coaching staff. Last, but not least, it was how impressed I was with what this team did in its run last year to a Mountain West championship. That attitude, determination and work ethic is the exact type of program Boise State is supposed to be and to which I want to contribute."

Koetter is a Pocatello, Idaho native who was previously the head coach at Boise State from 1998 to 2000. Koetter was also the interim offensive coordinator at Boise State in 2022 prior to the hire of Bush Hamdan. Hamdan was hired at Kentucky this offseason. 

"Coach Koetter runs an offense that I and our entire staff believes in," head coach Spencer Danielson said. "His addition is not just a one-year short term fix, he will be able to coach, teach and guide everyone in our facility in a way that will set our program up for future sustained success."

Koetter's contract is set to expire in January of 2025 and will reportedly earn him $460,000, per KTVB.

Boise State begins spring practices on Monday, March 11.
