Eliah Drinkwitz, considered an "up-and-comer" in the coaching ranks, will use that immense talent as the new offensive coordinator at Boise State. Head coach Bryan Harsin made that announcement in a press conference today in Boise. Drinkwitz replaces Boise State graduate Mike Sanford, who left to see if he could help Notre Dame.
Drinkwitz will also coach the quarterbacks, and will oversee what is expected to be an exciting battle this spring to replace Grant Hedrick. Drinkwitz served as co-offensive coordinator with Harsin at Arkansas State, and Harsin was so impressed that he brought Eliah with him to Boise.
Harsin also announced that Kent Riddle, who excels at everything he does, will move from running backs to coach tight ends, the position group that Drinkwitz coached this past season. Former Bronco star running back Lee Marks was hired to coach that position.
Congratulations to Oklahoma, Ohio State, and Nebraska, the only schools in history to have two different periods make the list. That should be the goal of Boise State--to dominate for such a long time that there are two different Boise State listings.
You will notice that Boise State is ranked in the Top 20 despite not being approved to play major college football until 1996, essentially giving nearly every school in the nation a one-year headstart.
