Chris Petersen has opted to stay at Boise State, spurning a reported overture from Stanford.

"I'm really happy to be in the position I've been the last five years," said Petersen. "I think [Stanford] is a very special place. I just thought it was worth having a conversation about, but that's about as far as it went."

In a statement released Monday, Peterson said he would "continue directing the football program." He also announced the hiring of Brent Pease as offensive coordinator and Robert Prince as receivers coach and pass game coordinator.
