Vandal fans,

My dream always has been to be a head football coach. Now I am and I'm extremely excited and proud to be the coach of the University of Idaho Vandals.

My career in Division I started at Idaho, and my wife and I are from Montana so it was an easy decision to return to our roots in the Northwest and, in particular, to the Vandal Family. When Maya and I were in Moscow with our family earlier this week, even my 5-year-old daughter remarked about the friendliness of everyone here. We thank you for your support now and are looking forward to that support as we go about returning the Vandals to the feared team I remember being a part of in the 1990s.

What I can promise you is a team with discipline, a team with passion, and a team that will put points on the board offensively, strike fear in opposing offenses, and excel at special teams. My staff and I will not be out-worked by anyone.

I know you share my passion for the Vandals. You can share in our successes by buying season tickets and donating to the Vandal Scholarship Fund, both of which are vital in building the foundation for success on the field and in the classroom for our student-athletes.

We have an exciting home schedule for 2013. Be a part of it!

Head coach Paul Petrino
