BOISE, Idaho – Boise State football offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Eric Kiesau was announced as a nominee for the Broyles Award, the Frank and Barbara Broyles Foundation announced recently. The Broyles Award annually honors the nation’s top college football assistant coach.

Kiesau was one of 56 nominees in this year’s class, selected from approximately 1,270 assistant coaches representing 127 programs in the Football Bowl Subdivision.

The Broyles Award selection process includes the Football Writers Association of America, broadcasters, a college football hall of fame selection committee and current college head coaches. The pool of candidates will be narrowed to 15 semifinalists, then to five finalists and eventually a winner.

Kiesau is in his fourth season with the Broncos, and his first as the program’s sole offensive coordinator after serving as co-offensive coordinator in 2019. He is also in his first season working with Boise State’s quarterbacks, having worked with the wide receivers his first three seasons on The Blue.

At 40.0 points per game, Boise State boasts the nation’s 14th-ranked scoring offense, a mark that also paces the Mountain West. Additionally, the Broncos are one of only four teams nationally that are perfect in the red zone, having converted each of their 16 trips – including 15 touchdowns.
