Bryan Harsin, Boise State Agree to New Contract: Latest Details and Reaction

It only took Bryan Harsin one season to earn a raise.    

According to the Idaho Press-Tribune's B.J. Rains, who cites a document on Idaho's Board of Education website, Harsin and Boise State have agreed on a new five-year contract worth a guaranteed $7.35 million. The deal, which is up for approval for the State Board on Thursday, includes bonuses that could push the total worth of the contract up to $9.35 million. 

As Rains noted, the only difference between this deal and the contract Harsin signed last December is a $100,000 signing bonus, another year (2019) tacked on for $1.75 million (the next four years remain the same) and other bonuses, both athletic and academic. 

There is also potential for the contract to be extended: 

The Idaho Statesman's Dave Southorn added some details about any potential buyout: 

In his first season as Chris Petersen's successor, Harsin had little trouble keeping Boise State's football team operating at a high level. The Broncos went 12-2, including an entertaining win over Arizona in the Fiesta Bowl. They finished No. 16 in the final AP poll. 

Keeping the team operating at a high level for an extended period of time will be the 38-year-old's next task, but whether it was as an assistant at Texas or as head coach for a year at Arkansas State, he has shown his worth on the sideline.   

This was likely an easy decision for Boise State
