Boise State coach Spencer Danielson finalized a new five-year, $11 million contract after leading the Broncos to the College Football Playoff last season, ESPN reported Tuesday.
The average annual value of $2.2 million reportedly doubles the salary Danielson earned in his first full season running the program in 2024.

Danielson, 36, guided the Broncos to a Mountain West Conference title and finished 12-2 following a 31-14 loss in the CFP to Penn State in the Fiesta Bowl on Dec. 31. He was named the MWC Coach of the Year.
Danielson is 15-3 overall, including his tenure as Boise State's interim coach in late 2023 following the firing of Andy Avalos after a 5-5 start that season.
His new deal will start at $2 million per year and increase by $100,000 each year during the five-year term. The only Mountain West coach who earns more annually is UNLV's Dan Mullen at $3.5 million for 2025.
Danielson has been coaching at Boise State since 2017 when he arrived as a graduate assistant. He served as the defensive coordinator from 2021-23.

SEC wants College Football Playoff respect? Stop playing cupcakes
When the scheduling debate resurfaced two years ago, some SEC members expressed reluctance to add another conference game without additional compensation from its media partner. ESPN didn't sweeten the pot. The SEC stayed at eight. The latest excuse? Many SEC coaches feel loath to welcome a ninth conference game without first knowing the College Football Playoff format for 2026 and beyond. What's next, no ninth SEC game until there's peace in the Middle East? I'm losing my appetite for this eight-or-nine debate. The number should be 10 - as in, every power-conference team should play a minimum of 10 games against Power Four opponents. MAN WITH PLAN: Lane Kiffin pushes promising 16-team playoff model BIG DECISION: SEC's Greg Sankey can be hero or villain in playoff debate SEC craves more CFP respect while playing cupcake games The SEC routinely insists it should gain preference from the playoff selection committee because of its run of national championship dominance the past 20 years, plus its strength of schedule. I won't argue that the SEC often boasts the strongest top-to-bottom conference. The SEC's pandering to the playoff committee, though, plays weak considering how the conference structures its schedule. Teams only play half the other members of their 16-team conference, and most only play one Power Four non-conference opponent, while supplementing the schedule with a few layup games. In this era of the ever-expanding playoff, it is time for the SEC to curtail its feast of cupcake games. Either stay at eight conference games, or go to nine - so long as it adds up to 10 games against real competition. Power Four teams playing more games against legitimate opponents - and fewer games against directional schools - would provide clarity to the playoff's at-large selection process. Alabama, Florida and South Carolina will play 10 regular-season games against Power Four opponents. The SEC's other teams will play eight or nine games against power foes. By comparison, TCU and Baylor will play a nation-leading 11 games against Power Four competition. Let's not spare the ACC, either. The ACC joins the SEC in playing eight conference games, while their Big Ten and Big 12 peers play nine. Most ACC schools, at least, will play 10 games against power-conference opponents, if you include Notre Dame as a power foe. Alternative to a ninth SEC game? Play another Power Four school Prominent SEC voices continue to trumpet that the committee erred by rejecting three 9-3 teams from the inaugural 12-team playoff, and that the committee does not sufficiently reward the SEC's schedule. "I have a hard time seeing Ole Miss, Alabama, and South Carolina not being in the best teams last year," Georgia coach Kirby Smart said, in reference to 9-3 teams that didn't make the playoff. I maintain the committee flubbed by selecting two-loss SMU, which beat nobody of substance and lost its two games against Top 25 opponents. Mississippi, which smashed Georgia after suffering a resume-staining loss to Kentucky, would have been a better choice. And yet, the SEC's three-loss also-rans could have tempted the committee more if they'd played and won another conference game or at least played and won an additional game against a Power Four opponent, instead of creaming a Championship Subdivision school. We don't know how the committee would view a 9-3 SEC team that played 10 games against Power Four competition. We do know what the committee thought of the SEC's 9-3 teams that played only nine games against power-conference foes. They thought them undeserving of a playoff bid. If Florida, which plays Miami and Florida State, goes 9-3 this season, it likely would have a stronger case for an at-large bid than the SEC's three-loss teams last season. The same is true of South Carolina, which plays Virginia Tech and Clemson for 10 Power Four games. Alabama's games against Wisconsin and Florida State give the Tide 10 games at the big-boy table, too. Those teams stand in exception to the SEC's majority that choose a path of lesser non-conference resistance. The SEC keeps floating the myth that the playoff committee does not respect strength of schedule. That's untrue. Indiana won 11 games last season, but the Hoosiers' soft schedule meant Indiana ranked behind four other at-large playoff qualifiers that won fewer games. Also, the SEC's three-loss teams reached the playoff's doorstep largely because of their strength of schedule. Another marquee victory could help get a three-loss team across the playoff's threshold. I can understand the SEC's reluctance to add a ninth conference game. Another league game would guarantee another loss to half the conference. Those additional losses would hinder playoff pursuits across half the league. The alternative to a ninth SEC game, though, should not be a game against Weasel Tech or Seventh-Grade State. Schedule another opponent from the big leagues. Non-conference scheduling includes the hurdle of needing two to tango. Not every power-conference team wants to play an SEC foe. Nebraska ducked out of its series with Tennessee. Wake Forest canceled on Ole Miss. Still, the SEC cannot relent. SEC coaches would be wise to keep the pedal down on this blue-sky idea of a Big Ten-SEC challenge. The SEC insists it wields the nation's strongest conference and that the committee should honor it as such. That argument holds merit, but the case would become easier to prove if SEC teams scheduled fewer games against Coastal Cupcake and more games against power-conference peers.

Can Raiders RB Ashton Jeanty live up to the remarkable hype?
Jeanty, while at Boise State, used a more upright, pre-snap stance. Most backs in the pros don't do that. They tend to crouch more. The theory of the case is that backs want to run as low to the ground as possible after getting the snap so they're more prepared to take on defenders who will also be low. This is all deep inside football wonky stuff but, ahem, this is why you're here. You're an inside football wonky kinda person. Jeanty told journalist Kay Adams that Las Vegas Raiders offensive coordinator Chip Kelly stated that he'd like Jeanty to switch to a more traditional stance. This led to so much online arguing/chatter/incredulity that Kelly decided to address The Stance at a recent press conference. "Let's get that clarified," Kelly later said, via transcript from the Raiders. "Deland McCullough, our running back coach, is in charge of stances, steps, alignments, assignments, and techniques. So he talked to him about that. I gave him an analogy of an athlete being in a bent-knee position to make a play, and that kind of got blown into. I haven't told anybody on this team to be in any stances because I don't coach a position. But it's a bent-knee game. "If you look at the before the ball snapped in baseball, or the pitcher throwing the baseball, everybody's got their knees bent. In any athletic sport you're playing, you've got to bend your knees. And if you've got to run a flat route on Fred Warner, you'd better be in a position to run, because that dude can fly. So, all we're trying to do is put guys in positions to make plays." "I really like that stance he's in," a smiling coach Pete Carroll said. "He's doing great. He really is. He's right on point with everything that we're doing. He's studying really hard. He's been really diligent about all aspects. There's nothing that he doesn't find important. He's going to work hard on his pass protection and his third-down work and see if he can contribute in that kind of role, as well. We're not holding anything back on him." There are few rookies who will be more closely watched (cough Shedeur Sanders cough) than Jeanty. I'm one of the few people in the known universe who believes that the Raiders actually aren't that far away from being in contention for a playoff spot. Yes, quarterback Geno Smith will throw a pick or he is still an overall good quarterback. There are some pieces in place there and one of those is Carroll, perhaps the most underrated head coach in the history of the league (you read that correctly). Go look at his track record dating back to USC. If not for the worst play call in Super Bowl history (yeah it was pretty bad) we'd be thinking about Carroll in a totally different way. He's one of the better franchise builders we've ever seen. It's true the AFC West is brutal, and this isn't to say they'll be in the Super Bowl tomorrow, but the Raiders could make a more significant leap sooner than expected. That's in part because of what's expected from Jeanty and what's expected from him seems to be a lot. There hasn't been this much hype around a Raiders rookie in a long time and for good reason. Jeanty had 2,601 yards and 29 touchdowns last season. But it's not just the numbers on why Jeanty could change the course of the Raiders. It's also Carroll. His emphasis on the running game in Seattle helped transform the career of Marshawn Lynch from good to stratospheric. Carroll might be able to do the same with Jeanty. Lynch has said in the past that Carroll's emphasis on situational football proved almost magical. "I used to be mad as (expletive) when we used to have to practice that," Lynch said. "Then that (expletive) happened in the very next game and I'd be like, 'Man, how'd you know that was gonna happen?'" "His attention to detail is what I feel the Raiders have been missing," Lynch said. Carroll will build his entire offense around Jeanty just as he (mostly) did with Lynch. That's why there's so much hype around Jeanty. Is that hype warranted? It just might be. All the NFL news on and off the field. Sign up for USA TODAY's 4th and Monday newsletter.

Free agent RB J.K. Dobbins visits Broncos
June 5 - Free agent running back J.K. Dobbins was set to visit with the Denver Broncos on Wednesday, coach Sean Payton confirmed at the team's offseason program. Dobbins, 26, played last season for the division rival Los Angeles Chargers, who applied an unrestricted free agent tender on him in April. The tender is worth about $1.1 million, according to ESPN, and would allow the Chargers to count Dobbins toward the compensatory draft pick formula for 2026 if he signs elsewhere before July 22. "We'll have a chance to visit with him, and then we'll see where it goes," Payton said. The Broncos' running back depth chart currently includes second-round pick RJ Harvey, second-year back Audric Estime and veteran Jaleel McLaughlin. "Just another good football player that we've seen first-hand (that) I've seen for a while," Payton said. "Just the importance of that position group. We really like the group right now we're working with. "It's just another opportunity to possibly bring in another good football player to help us win." Dobbins led the Chargers in rushing last season with 905 yards and nine touchdowns on 195 carries. In four seasons with the Baltimore Ravens (2020, 2022-23) and Chargers, he has totaled 429 rushing attempts for 2,252 yards and 21 scores, plus 59 receptions for 330 yards and one receiving touchdown. --Field Level Media
