[10][11][12] On February 27, 2019, Avalos was hired to serve as Oregon’s defensive coordinator, replacing Jim Leavitt.
[18] With Avalos' hire, he joined a small but growing list of Latino head coaches in Division I College Football.
He then led Boise State to their first ten-win season since 2019 with a 35–32 victory over North Texas in the Frisco Bowl.
On November 12, with Boise State sitting 5–5 (4–2 in Mountain West play), Avalos was fired with two games remaining in the regular season.
Defensive coordinator Spencer Danielson was named interim head coach for the remainder of the season; the Broncos won their two remaining conference games to finish in a three-way Mountain West tie that saw Boise State reach and win the 2023 Mountain West Conference Football Championship Game.
