Add another former Boise State football player to the list of head high school football coaches in the Treasure Valley.
Columbia announced Tuesday it hired ex-Bronco running back Jon Helmandollar as its next coach, making it eight former Boise State players in charge of local programs.
“I’ve always wanted to get back to the Boise area, and it was just the right opportunity,” said Helmandollar, a 2002 Eagle High grad. “This Columbia job is the perfect fit for me and my family. It was just too good to pass up.”
Helmandollar, 34, brings a career record of 30-36 to Columbia.
