The 52-year-old Andersen has a wealth of coaching experience that spans the ranks of high school, junior college, small college and FBS level programs. He is currently in his ninth year as the head coach at the FBS level that includes stops at OSU, Wisconsin and Utah State. He has coached in numerous bowl games, been a finalist for several national awards and most importantly has an astounding track record for student-athlete academic success with 149 league academic honorees in his eight previous seasons as a head coach. Andersen’s pillars of his program include academic achievement, social accountability and athletic excellence, instilling a culture within the Beavers’ team that has paid benefits on and off the field. "Coach Andersen is first and foremost a great person. He is for the guys (his team) first. He demands that throughout our time at OSU as we transition from being kids into men. That stems from how we approach every day of the grind, how we treat others around us, and how we perform in the classroom. He does everything in his power to make that happen for every man on his team. He has taught me how to handle myself during tough times and how to keep pushing towards success through adversity. I will forever cherish my time here at Oregon State and Coach A and his staff played a big role in that. He will continue to push OSU to the top of the Pac-12 Conference." OSU record setting receiver/returner Victor Bolden “When you play for Coach Andersen you are pushed in all facets of life. He is very passionate about his players succeeding academically and he and his staff provide the resources necessary for student-athletes to achieve in the classroom. Coach Andersen’s expectations in the classroom are the same expectations that he has on the field, and in all other parts of your college experience.” OSU four-time Pac-12 academic team member tight end Ricky Ortiz “Coach Andersen encourages us to be student-athletes; Emphasis on the student aspect. He isn't like most coaches who want you to just remain eligible; he truly wants us to maximize what we can accomplish in the classroom.” OSU All-Pac-12 offensive lineman Sean Harlow “Coach Andersen is a complete head coach. He expects greatness and success on and off the field, and holds everyone in the program to a very high standard when it comes to taking care of business each and every day. Playing football, excelling in the classroom - he approaches it identically - giving it everything you have and doing it the right way. He does this by treating his athletes like men; he's not interested in babysitting. Excellence in everything is his standard, and is what he expects from each player, every day. Coach A puts academic success just as high as success on the field, if not higher. He rewards his players for excelling in classes with Nike gifts at the end of each term. It's been an honor playing for Coach Andersen because he shows you how to be a complete student-athlete, and teaches you how to approach every aspect of life beyond football.” OSU three-time Pac-12 Academic team member and three-year starter Dustin Stanton COACHING ACCOMPLISHMENTS OREGON STATE <ul> <li>29 Pac-12 Conference All-Academic selections (15 in 2015, 14 in 2016)</li> <li>OSU football record for cumulative term GPA (winter ’16)</li> <li>Led fundraising initiative to renovate and expand the Valley Football Center</li> <li>Led the Beavers to their first win (2016) over rival Oregon since 2007</li> <li>CB Xavier Crawford and OL Gus Lavaka earned numerous 2016 Freshman All-America honors</li> <li>OSU record 5.2 average yards per rush in 2016</li> <li>Scoring increased 7.2 points from 2015 to 2016 and opposition scoring decreased 6.5 points</li> <li>RB Ryan Nall became the first Beaver back with two 80-plus yards rushes in the same season (’16)</li> <li>WR/KR Victor Bolden became the first player in OSU history with three 90-plus yard kickoff returns</li> <li>OL Sean Harlow 2017 NFL Draft (4th RD) pick of Atlanta Falcons and Treston Decoud NFL Draft (5th RD) pick of Houston Texans</li> <li>OL Issac Seumalo 2016 NFL Draft (3rd RD) pick of Philadelphia Eagles</li> <li>Under contract through February 2022 as a result of an extension that was signed Dec. 20, 2016</li> </ul> WISCONSIN <ul> <li>2014 Big Ten Conference West Division champion</li> <li>Three top-10 national Academic Progress Rate (APR) rankings, including nearly perfect score</li> <li>Ranked 17th in AP poll and 18th in College Football Playoff rankings</li> <li>Running back Melvin Gordon, the country’s leading rusher and scorer; Big Ten Offensive Player of the Year; finalist for the Heisman Trophy award</li> <li>Four first-team all-Big Ten; four players second-team all-Big Ten; six players honorable-mention all-Big Ten in 2014</li> <li>Twenty-eight (28) student-athletes earned Big Ten Conference all-academic honors in 2014</li> <li>Semifinalist for 2013 Maxwell Coach of the Year Award</li> <li>Ranked No. 22 by the Associated Press and No. 21 in the USA Today coach’s poll.</li> <li>Linebacker Chris Borland, first-team All-American</li> <li>Offensive lineman Ryan Groy, third-team All-American</li> <li>Three first-team all-Big Ten; 11 second-team or honorable-mention all-Big Ten in 2013</li> <li>Twenty-four (24) players earn Big Ten all-academic honors in 2013</li> <li>Chris Borland, Nagurski-Woodson Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year; Butkus-Fitzgerald Big Ten Linebacker of the Year; finalist for the Chicago Tribune’s Silver Football award</li> <li>Five players selected in 2014 NFL draft and two in 2015 Draft</li> </ul> UTAH STATE <ul> <li>2012 Western Athletic Conference champions</li> <li>2012 Idaho Famous Potato Bowl champions</li> <li>2012 Western Athletic Conference Coach of the Year</li> <li>Finalist for 2012 Eddie Robinson Coach of the Year award</li> <li>Utah State ranked No. 16 in the final AP poll</li> <li>Running back Robert Turbin, WAC Offensive Player of the Year</li> <li>Seventeen (17) players earn 2012 all-WAC postseason honors</li> <li>Eighteen (18) players earn 2012 WAC all-academic honors</li> <li>McCade Brady named 2012 CoSIDA Academic All-American</li> <li>2012 Team ranked ninth in the nation for academic performance by the Academic Bowl Championship Series (BCS)</li> <li>Two players selected in 2013 NFL Draft</li> <li>Three players selected in 2012 NFL Draft</li> <li>One player selected in 2011 NFL Draft</li> <li>Eight players 2012 first-team all-WAC; six second-team all-WAC</li> <li>Four players 2011 first-team all-WAC; two players second-team all-WAC</li> <li>One player 2010 first-team all-WAC; one player second-team all-WAC</li> <li>One player 2009 first-team all-WAC; one player second-team all-WAC</li> <li>Eighteen (18) players earn 2011 WAC all-academic honors</li> <li>Eighteen (18) players earn 2010 WAC all-academic honors</li> <li>Fifteen (15) players earn 2009 WAC all-academic honors</li> <li>2009 USU team one of 41 schools recognized by the American Football Coaches Association for Academic Achievement</li> </ul> UTAH <ul> <li>Defensive line coach on undefeated 2004 Fiesta Bowl champions</li> <li>Defensive coordinator on undefeated 2008 Sugar Bowl champions</li> <li>Finalist for 2008 Frank Broyles Award for nation’s top assistant coach</li> </ul> CAREER HEAD COACHING ACCOMPLISHMENTS <ul> <li>Players have earned 149 league academic honors in his eight years as a FBS head coach</li> <li>First victory as a head coach: Sept. 13, 2003 (Southern Utah 22, Stephen F.
