GREEN BAY — Gary Andersen slept in last Friday morning. When he woke up, he did so to a phone full of text messages and emails from friends, fellow coaches, acquaintances and even a few sleuthing Green Bay Packers fans who tracked down one of his old addresses.
That was the buzz the Utah State football coach was greeted by in the wake of his quarterback, Jordan Love, being picked in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft by the Packers.
“It’s not even a normal email of mine — it doesn’t even say ‘Gary Andersen’ or anything — and Packers fans found that email address to send messages to give to Jordan Love,” Andersen, the ex-University of Wisconsin coach, recounted.
