 BOISE, Idaho (AP) - Boise State coach Chris Petersen will be a millionaire if he leads the Broncos to another undefeated season. Not bad for someone with just one season as a head coach.
Petersen received a new contract Thursday that would escalate his salary above $1 million if he guides his team to another perfect campaign. Last season, Boise State went 13-0 and was the only Division I program to finish undefeated. Capping the season was the Broncos' 43-42 overtime win against Oklahoma in the Fiesta Bowl.
Petersen's new five-year, $4.25 million deal — a record for Boise State — still lags behind coaches at other major colleges, but athletic director Gene Bleymaier called it "a reward for a phenomenal season."
