- Today, i am joined by @EmbracetheGrind to talk about the rise & fall of Gary Andersen. He was a hot young coach at Utah State before he started to to big things at Wisconsin, but then he shockingly left the Badgers for Oregon State and not only did his win numbers suffer, but so did his career. Enjoy!

What coach should I do next?
How about Chris Ash?
Jeremy Pruitt
That’s coming SOON

As a Oregon State fan, his time in Corvallis still makes me want to cry.
Same
2017 was so bad
Thank goodness for Jonathan Smith
I had so much hope for Gary here at Oregon State. Glad we have smith now.
Me too go beavs
I did too man
same go beavs
rip
As someone who was a student at OSU during Andersen’s tenure, I will NEVER forgive Gary Andersen for what he did to our team. I wouldn’t piss on him if he were burning

I know someday I'll watch a video titled "Worst College Coaches of All Time" and Andersen will be on that list. Build the Damn!
Cough* muschamp cough*
Wisconsin fan here who wasted some of his own hard earned money to attend that 2014 B10 champ game unknowing that Andersen already had one foot out the door. He did the program a big favor by leaving. Not even two years in Madison and he nearly decimated the O-line tradition. Nice guy who truly cared about his players tho. Dude should get more credit for walking away from that buyout. I want to hate the guy, but deep down I can't.
So for some inside information no one just walks away from 12 million dollars as some one that lives in Corvallis and with friends that are had ties to Anderson their was rumors that he got cheerleader or student pregnant and didn't want that getting out so he left. Now I don't know how accurate that is but something more happened than that because you don't leave 12 million on the table plus OSU would have had to buy him out at a minimum it just doesn't make sense something happened that the school didn't want out and that is obvious.
I think it was a cheerleading coach but yea there’s more than the public knows surrounding his departure for sure.
I remember hearing about something like that from my friend who worked in the athletic department as well
Listen up! I know a friend of Gary Andersen and watched his whole stint at Oregon State up close. GA crashed and burned for one reason: Dave Aranda. GA has only been successful with DA as his DC. They split when GA went to Oregon State. DA ended up coaching LSU to a national championship. GA was all talk and no substance. He relied on good staff and couldn't convince them to follow him to Oregon State. It was a complete cluster. This is also why GA has failed to even coach at USU, again.
The first time at USU, he didn't fail
Hell yeah! Thanks for this one!
Thank you for this! I requested this!
he gave us hope in 2016 then our intern coach did better than him in 2017
I'm a beaver fan this man made it so we took line 5 steps back and becoming good
The Beavs are in a good spot rn tho. They’re getting good transfers, once they start having winning seasons they’ll get recruits. I think they could be the best team in Oregon in 5-6 years.
@@oliverrhodes1161 who is their coach rn
@@faizali2200 Jonathan Smith
would you guys give Mike Riley yet another run, if he came calling?
@@CHICANO1975 I doubt it. While OSU fans love Riley for the most part, he's come and gone enough that I don't believe he'd be welcome back for another stint.
What's with coaches leaving Wisconsin and then falling off? First Bret Bielema then Gary Andersen.
Wisconsin has (or had) the best pipeline of Midwestern recruits in the country, not to mention a pedigree in developing lineman. Pretty hard to lose when you have the best 6"7 behemoths north of Missouri coming to play for you.
@@skreby1441 as a Wisconsin fan, we have far from the best Midwestern recruiting pipeline. We develop 3 star and the rare 4 star recruits into solid players s.
Bielema ran Wisky into the ground.
Chryst was mediocre at Pittsburgh before the Wisconsin job. Long story short, i feel Gary and Brett wanted to adapt to today's style of play (throw the ball 75% of the time) and Barry wasn't having any of it so Gary and Brett left.
Dan S. Wrong! Brett tried the same scheme at Arkansas.he is a ground and pound guy.and there is nothing wrong with that.he will still be physical at Illinois.
I heard part of the reason why he left for Oregon State was because his wife didn't like Madison and she wanted to move back west.
I don't know if they're Mormon. But if they are, Madison may have rubbed them the wrong way. Few schools binge drink like UW. The student section is pretty profane too. Granted, I say this with affection as a life-long Badger fan.
They aren't.
Can you cover Greg Paulus or any other athletes that switched sports?
Im from Dinuba CA where Marcus McMaryion is from and we where all so proud of him for earning a Oregon State scholarship but i think they wasted his time there he beat Oregon!!!! But he came home and ended his career right at Fresno State.
Gary running Marcus out of Corvallis was one of the most painful things to watch. He was far and away the best QB on the roster but Gary refused to play him unless he was forced to.
As a beaver fan this hurts after our 5-7 year we had high hopes then he quit
We only went 4-8??? I thought we went 5-7 damn
How about the rise and fall of Chris Ash?
No ride there man. Just a never ending free fall.
He’s a position coach for Urban so it’s not bad
chris ash didnt fall
Do a rise and fall of the steve Slayton and pat white Rich Rodriguez West Virginia. Or just Rich Rod.
Long time WI fan here and alum. Thanks for doing this bio on Gary Anderson. I was hoping someone would focus on the reasons for his downfall. One thing I did hear from a couple of players (we all lived in the same set of lakeshore dorms---yeah Tripp hall!). Alvarez had a huge imprint on the program, and any football coach who is hired has to be prepared to interact with Barry. He views it as mentorship as he did with his first hire--Bielema (or Bulmemia as we used to call him). Gary was more senior than Brett Biels, and rumored to have disliked the constant oversight. Barry fought him tooth and nail on the defensive switch, mostly because he felt that having 4 down lineman is better suited against the Big Ten offenses. The 3-4 just allows too much of a push by the O-line and if you aren't successful, you'll give up 3-4 years each down and can march down the field without even having to throw 1 pass. Anyway, the sentiment was that Gary was a good dude, but being a non-drinker (Mormon faith), he certainly didn't fit in with the UW alumni. Remember, WI is the largest per capita consumer of beer in the US. It is also top 5 in the rate of alcohol use disorders as well! So, WI fans like to party, and Gary did not. A funny story is about the UW band director, Mike Leckrone. This is verified real. Back in the 1980s, when the team really stunk under Don Mortan's Veer offense (from Univ of North Dakota to UW? Not a great lineage even if UND is a D2/D3 powerhouse). Anyway, the UW band was traveling for an away football game and the motor lodge they had taken over soon transformed into a house party of epic proportions. Think the movie Old School, with Will Farrell! The cops show up an masse (something like 10-12 cop cars, both the local cops and of course the campus police b/c they were staying close to campus). Just as one of the band members was heading out to the parking lot to take a leak, he is stopped by a cop. The cop asks where the chaperone or band director was so they could start winding this party down. While simultaneously holding his beer, and also unzipping his pants to take a bad leak...."like a bubbler, only full of pee". The nodded over to the bushes and says.."he's over there, but he doesn't like it when he woken up after he's passed out". End of the story is that my roomie's older brother was the dude who got the public urination ticket (he was in the brass section----the UW band at that time didn't allow any wind instruments because you can't hear them and they are for 'pussies' anyway!). Leckrone was asked to straighten up, and recently retired as the 2nd most popular man after Barry Alvarez in the state of WI. Yeah--he's the band director! So boys and girls, that's the real story of Gary Anderson, told by someone who lived through the mess and claimed out the other side a college grad!
Gary Andersen immediately abandoned the Barry Alvarez model of having close ties to Wisconsin high schools and getting the best offensive, defensive lines and linebackers while going out of state for skill positions. Andersen immediately alienated the in-state coaches and changed the Wisconsin power pro offensive style trying to move to a running option QB with small OL versus the past. When Chryst took over all of his offensive line recruits were too small and didn’t play.
Andersen rode the recruiting of Bielema and it was a totally blessing he left (or was pushed out)
So happy that he's gone and Johnathon Smith is now the Head Coach at Oregon State 10-3 this year after the Las Vegas Bowl win. What a turn around. Go Beavs!
Can you do the rose and fall of Bruce love?
can you do the rise and fall of UCF football
I wouldn’t really call it a fall. Still would be an interesting video tho
@@sportsearth7889 they suck now
Two names Scott Frost and McKenzie Milton
@@mr16325 no they dont ucf went 6-4 and had depleted team due too injuries and barely lost most of there games
@@justinalley3399 but they played in a group of 5 conference . Anything over 2 losses suck for that easy of a schedule
The way he left us after that awful lost just showed he never wanted to be there after year one. I love our head coach and most of our coaching staff for our football program
Andersen slept with one of the cheerleading coaches at OSU and drank with his assistants before practices and games.
You should do the downfall of Tennessee football since the late 2000’s
there is a video of tennessee
Do a video on quintez cephus
Good video. I followed the Oregon State program fairly closely being an alum. There really are for me a couple take aways. First, there's an expression that may or may not be true, "nobody quits a job, but they will quit a bad boss" . Maybe Barry Alvarez of Wisconsin is a bad boss(Bielema and Anderson quit that job within three years of each other). But, if you are Brett and Gary, maybe a bad boss at a great program beats an incredible boss at a more challenging program lol.
And when Gary came to Oregon State he seemed to approach it as a total rebuild. But the team was 5-7 the year before he took over and was 9-3 two seasons before that. It wasn't a rebuild but it isn't an easy job either. The total rebuild approach seemed like a bad one and it chased a lot of good talent out the door. Guys who Anderson chased out ended up starting for SEC teams(see Jake Del Rio. QB). Mike Riley maybe can be faulted for being too nice, but don't try calling him stupid. He was smart enough to get Nebraska to hire him and PAY him 160k a month while working back at Oregon State for new coach Jonathon Smith as a consultant. Riley would NOT have stayed at Oregon State for 14 years if it was such a bad job. My point is it was and is a good job, not an easy job. I really do respect Gary a lot for quitting and leaving a lot of cash for the program. He did a poor job and knew it and I have no hard feelings for Gary and really hope he gets it going again. I think good coaches, like a lot of us, can go through tough seasons. Doesn't mean he's not a good coach. Truly wish him well. That being said, Jon Smith is the future, everybody in the know knows it. Herm Edwards said after the Beavs took his team down in 2019. "Coach(Smith) over there can coach some O" Coming from Herm, thats a real compliment and very true. Future bright again in Corvallis.
Gary did it to himself. In the one season at OSU with him that wasn't dog crap, he started "his guy," a USU transfer, who couldn't hit the broad side of a barn. Injuries forced him to play Marcus McMaryion (aka 3M) toward the end of the season and he lit it up. We demolished Arizona and beat Oregon. Things were looking up!
He then ran 3M out of the program (I think after making him 3rd string QB in spring ball), who then went to Fresno State and tore it up.
That was just one of many stubborn, boneheaded things he did. Not to mention the "personal failings" that are a not so well kept secret in Corvallis.
I do think that Gary was trying his best and wanted the best for the players and the program, dude just has issues that need to be resolved.
Please do a rise and fall of Rhett Bomar.
As a Wisconsin fan, Anderson seemed like a good guy and he did us a favor by bringing in Dave Aranda and installing the 3-4 defense. However, UW had a number of losses that were coaching losses, such as the comeback loss to LSU. I think that one issue he had was he had a group of five mentality when he was at power five schools. For example, he cited the admissions standards at UW as a reason he couldn't get the juco players he wanted. Outside of occasional phenomenal players who went the juco route like Cam Newton. At a power five school, jucos should never be the backbone of your team. Your recruits should be the backbone of your team, and then you supplement them with walk-ons and jucos for more depth in your position groups. He wasn't able to recruit well, and his success at Wisconsin was more due to our system than his coaching. That mentality is part of why his best team at UW got their asses handed to them by Urban Meyer's Buckeyes. He didn't quite get our system of having an athletic running back behind an o-line full of the beefiest Nordic/German/Polish boys that the state of Wisconsin can produce, which isn't how his offenses at Utah State operated at all.
High School football in Wisconsin is a lot different than most places too, I could see how a coach who’s not familiar with how things are in the midwest might get frustrated in recruiting. There’s not a lack of talent here by any stretch but often times you’re gonna have to look hard in order to find it. High Schools in Wisconsin are generally small and don’t take football as seriously as say prep schools in California do, which is where Andersen was more used to doing his recruiting. A kid like Zach Baun, who was the best athlete Brown Deer High School ever had, will play quarterback at the HS level versus at a bigger school where he’d play defense or tight end. Jim Leonhard and Paul Chryst were able to recognize how he fit in better as a college edge rusher given time to learn the position. Leonhard and Chryst are from Wisconsin, so they “get” the whole thing with recruiting.
I never thought Andersen was a bad coach or even a bad recruiter, he just didn’t mesh with the football culture at the University or in this state very well. To me Alvarez deserves some blame for bringing in an outsider, but we ended up with the perfect guy in the end with Paul Chryst.
Real reason he left Wisconsin is because he didn’t run the program like Barry Alvarez wanted him to
Let's not forget that he did turn USU around from being one (if not THE) worst program in the nation to a very competitive G5 team. He also had an incredible staff and OC and DC. I think it is hard to capture lightning in a bottle twice. It is very sad to see what happened to him.
I played under him at USU as a DLinemen for 2 seasons. One of the best coaches I ever had. Truly loved the game and his players. Sad to see what became of his career. I've never understood leaving winning programs once you've built them to go somewhere else. He did it twice successfully and kept going back to the well. Sucks
How about the rise and fall of Jim Donnan, or Mark Richt, both at Georgia.
His downfall began after Ohio State drilled them 59 to 0 in the big ten title game.
Gary Andersen is the clasic case of thinking "the grass is greener on the other side..." No more no less,
This isn’t a coach but maybe what happened to Brady Quinn
The Beavers just needed the "walk-on waterboy" , fiesta bowl champion from California. Jonathan Smith .. best to Gary Anderson
as a wisconsin fan i approve
The three reasons he left Wisconsin. 1 he could not manage the program the way he wanted. He had to continue the way Barry Alvarez wanted. 2 he was losing defensive coordinator Dave Aranda and 3 he was pissed that he was forced to intentionally blow that Big Ten Championship to tOSU the way they did to sneak tOSU in because the Big Ten wanted a team in the inaugural playoff. Don’t forget Micro manger himself Barry Alvarez was on the selection committee for the playoff.
GA fits into the 28 straight losing seasons in a row coaching tree at Oregon State nicely.
no respect.
Can you add any more commercial?
You know thats how he makes money for making the videos right? And that no content creators have control over how many ads are played on monetized videos?
He didn’t leave for the Beavs to win national championships. He left to get away from the disaster known as Barry Alvarez.
Can you make a video about what happened to Connor Shaw
There is one
Where I couldn’t find it
Heck I'll take him at the U right now!
He could have screwed Oregon State out of millions and he didn't. He's an upstanding dude regardless of your opinion of his results as a coach.
Notice every coach at Wisconsin after Alvarez sucks or are mediocre at other coaching stops. This tells me that Barry Alvarez is still the coach at Wisconsin and is the AD to avoid dealing with the media. Wisconsin will fall off when he permanently retires.
He did it to himself. He thought he knew better and left a program where he had it made and could of succeeded under Alvarez's blue print plan. But the UW board of regents wouldn't let him recruit the JuCo players he wanted to bring in. He knew UW had academic standards but thought he could sell em to bend the rules, yet acted surprised. Plus it was said that his family didn't care for the area and weather, but don't know how true that is.
I believed in him when he came to Oregon state, but I was fooled. He’s a salesman, good talker but when he sells you the product, it’s crap. He chased off good players. Didn’t utilize the ones he had. His coaching staff was clueless and couldn’t pull together a good scheme. Oregon state looked horrible.
plus. for 1 game..The 2016 Civil War football game..he was absolutely a Beaver...God bless...Go Beavers..!!🏈🦫
I really do not believe Anderson was a good guy. I've heard from a friend who worked in the athletic department that he fostered an atmosphere of backstabbing and made all the coaches and players hate each other. Not to mention the rumor about him and cheating on his wife with someone in cheerleading. You could see it just in how much harder all the kids played the day after he left. The players started the #Hall-In to try and get the interim coach hired permanently for a reason, after all.
I dont know anything about his personal life but I played for him at USU. He took us from being one of the worst teams in the nation to ranked. He loved his players and was super down to earth. No man is perfect but I cant say he was a bad person either
I was delighted he failed abysmally.
How about the fall of Texas Tech football?
The problem with GA is he gives up for whatever reasons. Wisconsin, Oregon State and Utah State. Same story. He has no HC mind, no brain, no heart, no long term plans, no fresh ideas..just nothing.
I have a great respect for Gary..he left money to do the right thing...
He ran because of personal bs. Coward. No respect
Worst visitor Corvallis has ever seen
"(2017) had to be the worst year in school history." Actually, it wasn't. If you factor in point differential and strength of schedule, their 1981 team was their worst and 1990 was their second worst. Their 2017 was the third worst, just slightly worse than their 0-11 1980 team.
He left Wisconsin because Alvarez micromanages the football program.
Happy he left because we got Paul Chryst in return.
Happy about paul chryst. Yikes.
Anderson was gonna fail at WI anyways! His offense was not gonna hold up to the Big10 “power” style of football!
Bielma ran Wisconsin into the ground. Anderson left because 59-0.
Love this i’m a huge Wisconsin badger fan i’m glad he left because it gave us our best option in Paul Chryst I never liked Gary Anderson as a coach Melvin Gordon could’ve destroyed the NCAA rushing record if he didn’t take them out and I felt like he was changing our offense too much
Gary Anderson sounds more like a football player than a college football head coach saying that I never heard of him .He get an upset win over a team that supposed to had destroyed the team he's coaching that's it ain't no stopping him from winning anywhere with any team which his career record calls him a liar .I just don't get how clever he convince schools to hire him for big bucks with a resume of garbage a school realize he got to go willing to pay him to take a walk he says no thanks then off he goes with his delusions in toe to another NCAA division school . Traits of a used cars salesman that refuses commissions.
He took utah state from one of the worst programs in the country to 11 wins and ranked 16th. He had it in him to be a good coach, he just put himself in the wrong situations after Utah State.
A simple quitter asked more of his players than he was prepared to ask of himself.
Charlie Weis
Gary Andersen is a foul disloyal traitor. Instead of coaching UW for the Big Ten title game against OSU, he threw the game to OSU in order to gain a recommendation from Urban Meyer and then left the team before the Rose Bowl. He is dirt. The players actually hated him.
Why would he need a recommendation from Urban Meyer? I think Meyer was just that much better of a coach. Andersen didn't have to throw the game against him.
Hello
Rise and fall of charlie strong
Gary Anderson was terrible, we had some talent on the team but Anderson was trash and he couldn’t even when more than 4 games also those 2 games we won against ASU and Oregon at the end of 2016 the assistant coach was coaching because Anderson wasn’t there
Leave Wisconsin and fail,
While they continue to be a contender in the B1G.
Haha "respect the financial decision he made"😂 Do people still not know he got an intern at Oregon State pregnant....that 12mil was hush money so he could get another job somewhere else
This is boring
