Yesterday it was announced that Bryan Harsin added former Boise State strength and conditioning coach Jeff Pittman to his staff. Today he added another familiar face off the Boise State coaching tree in defensive line coach/co-defensive coordinator Spencer Danielson.
After Harsin made his departure to Auburn, Danielson took over interim coaching duties for the Broncos.

Danielson attended Azusa Pacific University where he started for three seasons at linebacker before graduating in 2012. From 2009-2012 he recorded 190 total tackles, 12.5 TFL, 2.5 sacks, and five interceptions. Danielson earned a degree in business administration as well as his MBA from Azusa Pacific. Upon graduating he recruited linebackers from 2013-2015 and in 2016 served as the recruiting coordinator.
Danielson joined Harsin’s Boise State staff in 2017 as a graduate assistant. In 2019 he was promoted to defensive line coach. It’s worth noting that under Danielson’s leadership, Boise State’s Curtis Weaver and Jabril Frazier received first-team All-Mountain West honors with both players ranking in the top 10 in the conference for sacks. Their efforts led the Broncos to ranking 10th nationally in average sacks per game with 3.00.
