Demario Warren Retained on Boise State Football Coaching Staff

BOISE, Idaho – Boise State head football coach Spencer Danielson announced Friday that Demario Warren has been retained and will enter a third season in the Treasure Valley as the cornerbacks coach.

This past season Warren led a Bronco corners squad that ranked 22^nd in the nation in fourth down defense (.417) and a red zone defense that ranked 46^th nationally and second in the Mountain West. A'Marion McCoy, guided by Warren, led the team with three interceptions on the year, ranking 50^th in the country and fifth in the MW in just his first season at the FBS level.

"I am so glad that Demario Warren is remaining on our staff here at Boise State," Danielson said. "I have come to know him as an elite teacher that is focused on developing young men in all areas of their lives. Additionally, his knowledge of the secondary and of defense in general is absolutely tremendous. With Demario back and Tyler Stockton joining the staff, I know our defense is poised to improve next year. I can't wait to get started with this staff in the new year."

In his first year on The Blue, Warren led a cornerback unit that ranked 14^th in the nation and led the MW with 15 interceptions while ranking eighth in the country in team pass efficiency defense.

Warren spent the previous 14 seasons at Southern Utah, including the final six as head coach, leading the Thunderbirds to their second Big Sky Conference Championship in school history in 2017, and the program's third all-time appearance in the Football Championship Subdivision Playoffs.

SUU concluded 2017 ranked No. 13 in the FCS Coaches Poll and No. 14 in the STATS FCS Top 25, the highest rankings in school history. Warren was named AFCA Region 5 Coach of the Year and Co-Coach of the Year in the Big Sky Conference following the season.

Prior to becoming head coach of the T-Birds, Warren spent the 2014-15 seasons as defensive coordinator for SUU, producing one of the top defensive units in the FCS. From 2008-13, Warren served as defensive backs coach.

Southern Utah led the Big Sky Conference with 20 interceptions in 2016, Warren's first season as head coach, and in 2015, Warren's final year as defensive coordinator before being promoted to head coach, nine of the T-Birds' 11 defensive starters earned All-Big Sky honors as Southern Utah led the nation in turnover margin en route to the first Big Sky Championship in school history.

In 2011, with Warren mentoring SUU's defensive backs, the Thunderbirds concluded the season ranked 19th nationally in pass defense (178.18).

Warren initially joined the Southern Utah staff as a running backs coach, but made the move to defense during spring of 2008.

He began his career at UC Davis, where he was a three-year letterwinner at running back before injuries cut short his playing career during his senior season. A native of Fairfield, California, Warren prepped at Fairfield High School, where he was a four-sport letterman.

He earned his bachelor's degree in African-American studies from UC Davis and went on to earn his Master's of Business Administration.

Warren and his wife, Amanda, are the parents of five children - Demario, Jr., Jazelle, Daylee, Lennox and Kamilo.
