Bryan Harsin is entering his 10th season as a member of the Bronco football staff and his fifth as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach. The 32-year-old is one of the top young assistant coaches in the country and one of the youngest offensive coordinators in Division I football.

After serving as tight ends coach from 2002-05, Harsin was promoted to offensive coordinator in 2006 when Chris Petersen was named head coach. He was a graduate assistant with the Broncos in 2001.

In four seasons leading the Bronco offense, Harsin has continued to build upon the high octane attack that Boise State fans have become accustomed to. Harsin helped put together the most potent scoring offense in the country in 2009, as the Broncos averaged an NCAA best 42.21 points per game. As a unit, the Bronco offense finished the season ranked 10th in total offense (450.21 ypg), 26th in rushing offense (186.07 ypg) and 29th in passing offense (264.14 ypg). Perhaps most impressively, however, was Boise State's Division I leading five sacks allowed through 14 games.  

A large part of Boise State's offensive success came on the arm of sophomore quarterback Kellen Moore, who finished the season with a school record 39 touchdown throws and just three interceptions. Moore ended the year ranked second in the country in pass efficiency (161.65 percent) en route to setting the NCAA record for interception-to-attempt ratio at .69 percent (3-of-431). For his achievements on the field Moore was named Western Athletic Conference Offensive Player of the Year, first-team All-American by ESPN.com and SI.com, third-team Associated Press All-American, while also finishing seventh in the 2009 Heisman voting.

Harsin helped coach five Broncos to All-WAC honors in 2009, including four to first-team nominations: Moore, wide receivers Austin Pettis and Titus Young and offensive lineman Nate Potter. Running back Jeremy Avery was named second-team All-WAC.

Boise State's success in 2009 was a byproduct of the job Harsin did while facing one of the biggest hurdles of his young career in 2008. In his third season as offensive coordinator Harsin's offense was taken over by Moore, a redshirt freshman. After becoming the first freshman quarterback in Boise State history to start a season opener, Moore would compile one of the most outstanding seasons by any Bronco quarterback ever. With Harsin's tutelage, he finished the year with a 69.4 completion percentage (281-405), 25 touchdown passes and just 10 interceptions. Moore finished 2008 ranked No. 12 nationally in pass efficiency (157.12). His play earned him second-team All-Western Athletic Conference honors. He was also named WAC Freshman of the Year.

In 2008 Harsin also helped one of Boise State's biggest offensive weapons make history, as Ian Johnson broke the WAC and school record for career touchdowns (58). In three seasons as Harsin's starting tailback, Johnson recorded the second most career rushing yards (4,183) in school history.  

In 2007, Boise State finished fourth in the nation in scoring and sixth nationally in passing efficiency. The Broncos were also second in the WAC in scoring and passing efficiency and third in rushing, total offense and passing. Following the 2007 season, offensive tackle Ryan Clady became the first player in Boise State history to be taken in the first round of the NFL draft when he was selected No. 12 overall by the Denver Broncos. Clady, who decided to skip his final season at Boise State to become eligible for the draft, was named a first-team All-American by the American Football Coaches Association and Sporting News and to four second-team All-America squads.

In Harsin's first season as offensive coordinator, the 2006 Broncos went undefeated and were second in the country in scoring offense, sixth in rushing offense and passing efficiency, and 10th in total offense. Boise State also finished first in the WAC in rushing, second in scoring offense and passing efficiency, third in total offense, and fourth in passing offense. Also in 2006, running back Ian Johnson led the country in rushing touchdowns and scoring while finishing second in rushing and ninth in total offense. Johnson also set a Boise State single-season rushing record with 1,713 yards on a school-record 277 carries. He was named to four separate All-America teams and finished eighth in the Heisman Trophy voting. Johnson, a senior last fall, was also a semifinalist for the Doak Walker Award and one of 10 "Players to Watch" for the 2006 Walter Camp Player of the Year Award.

Tight ends played a vital role in a Bronco offense that led the nation in scoring twice and finished in the top 10 in scoring in each of the four years Harsin was tight ends coach. In 2005 four Bronco tight ends combined to catch 27 passes for 298 yards and three touchdowns. In 2004 Harsin helped Bronco tight ends contribute to the top-scoring offense in school history. In 2003 five tight ends combined to catch 41 passes and five touchdowns.

Harsin was a member of the Bronco football team from 1995-1999, earning three varsity letters. He served as Boise State's backup quarterback in 1999 when the team went 10-3 and won the Crucial.com Humanitarian Bowl.

After graduating from Boise State in 2000 with a degree in business management, Harsin entered the coaching profession at Eastern Oregon, coaching running backs and receivers during the 2000 season.

Harsin and his wife, Kes, have two daughters, Devyn Lynn (9) and Dayn Mykena (7), and a son, Davis (3). Harsin is a graduate of Capital High School in Boise.
