Ed board extends Petrino contract

The Idaho State Board of Education on Thursday approved a three-year contract extension for Vandal football coach Paul Petrino. The Board approved a proposal that extends Petrino’s tenure through 2020. Petrino’s previous deal was set to expire in December 2017. Petrino will receive a raise in annual base salary from about to $175,000 to $178,526.40. His annual media payment of $215,000 remains the same, though he receives a $10,000 bonus if team grade point average goals are met (those goals are not included in the SBOE documents). In three seasons, Petrino has led Idaho to six wins. Last year’s 4-8 season was the best of his head coaching career. The Vandals will play in the Sun Belt Conference for two more seasons, before joining the Big Sky Conference in 2018. Petrino is 4-12 in SBC games/ Michael Shawn-Dugar , Moscow-Pullman Daily News.
