BOISE, Idaho – Former Boise State quarterback Bush Hamdan was named the Broncos' offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach, head coach Andy Avalos announced Wednesday. Approval of a final contract is subject to the State Board of Education.
Hamdan, who played 2004-08 at Boise State, returns to the Treasure Valley with 14 years of coaching experience, including the last three at Missouri where he coached wide receivers (2020-21) and quarterbacks (2020-22).
The Tigers earned a bowl bid in each season Hamdan was on staff and Missouri ranked 32nd nationally in passing offense in 2020.
"We're very excited to bring one of our brothers back to coach with our Boise State family," Avalos said. "Bush is a proven coach at all levels of collegiate and professional football. We were very diligent in our process and there is no question he will be a huge part of the development of our program as we continue to grow forward."
Hamdan began his coaching career as a student assistant with Colorado in 2009 and served as offensive intern with Maryland the following season. In 2011, he coached tight ends at Sacramento State on a staff that included Avalos as a graduate assistant.
In 2012, Hamdan mentored wide receivers at Florida, including four players who went onto the NFL (Andre Debose, Quinton Dunbar, Frankie Hammond and Solomon Patton). The Gators went 11-2 and played in the Sugar Bowl that season.
Hamdan was the co-offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach at Arkansas State in 2013 when the Red Wolves won the Sun Belt title and the GoDaddy Bowl.
After a season as the offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach at Davidson, Hamdan reunited with his college coach Chris Petersen as an offensive quality control coach at Washington in 2015.
Petersen promoted Hamdan to wide receivers coach/pass game coordinator the following season. The Huskies won the Pac-12 and reached the College Football Playoff. John Ross III and Dante Pettis combined to set a Pac-12 record with a combined 32 touchdowns receiving. Ross was named an All-American and selected as the No. 9 overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft while Pettis went in the second round.
Hamdan served as Washington's offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach in 2018-19. The Huskies won the Pac-12 in 2018 and registered 3,337 yards passing, the fourth-most in school history. Quarterback Jacob Eason was a fourth-round pick in the 2020 NFL Draft.
In between stints at Washington, Hamdan was the quarterbacks coach for the Atlanta Falcons. Matt Ryan threw for over 4,000 yards and the Falcons reached the divisional round of the 2017 NFC playoffs.
