IU offensive coordinator returns to Boise State

IU offensive coordinator Brent Pease will return to Boise State to become the offensive coordinator there, a source with knowledge of the situation confirmed Sunday night.

The story was first reported by a Boise, Idaho, television station Saturday afternoon.

Pease, who served as the Broncos’ wide receivers coach last year, was announced as IU’s offensive coordinator Dec. 30. Boise State’s previous offensive coordinator, Bryan Harsin, was recently named the offensive coordinator at the University of Texas.

Pease had to make a decision about his future Saturday, when he decided to return to the Broncos, according to the source.

The source said Pease had signed a contract with IU but said he was not forced to make a payment to the school when he backed out. IU coach Kevin Wilson was “a complete professional” in dealing with the matter, the source said.

“He probably wasn’t happy, but he understood,” the source said.

Pease’s move means Wilson will have to reopen his search for an offensive coordinator. Wilson has already hired two defensive coordinators, a cornerbacks coach, a defensive line coach and a wide receivers coach.
