Idaho is a football-only member of the Sun Belt Conference in the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) of NCAA Division I. The current head coach is Paul Petrino, in his fourth season in 2016.
The Idaho football program began competing 124 years ago in 1893, and through the 2016 season, the Vandals have an all-time record of 459–603–27 (.434). They have played in three bowl games in their history, all victories in the Humanitarian/Famous Idaho Potato Bowl in Boise in 1998, 2009, and 2016.
