The University of Idaho has hired South Dakota State’s offensive coordinator as its new head football coach.
Jason Eck has been with the Jackrabbits for the past 6 seasons helping lead South Dakota State to 3 semifinal appearances in 4 seasons and a national championship game last Spring at the FCS level. He started his fulltime coaching career at the UI in 2004 when he coached the offensive line for the Vandals for 3 seasons under Nick Holt and Dennis Erickson.
Eck replaces Paul Petrino who was let go by Vandals last month.
He will be introduced during a press conference Monday at 1:00 followed by a reception at 5:00 in the ICCU Arena Alumni Club Room.
