Former Oregon State Beavers head coach Gary Andersen may be welcomed back to the fold with the Utah Utes, according to reports out of Salt Lake City on Wednesday.
Andersen played and coached at Utah, and current head coach Kyle Whittingham is open to the possibility of adding him to the staff.
Football bowl Championship Subdivision teams are allowed to add a 10th full-time assistant coaching position starting on Jan. 9.
"Gary is a heck of a football coach and a close friend of mine, and he's available right now, so he's certainly a potential hire for us," Whittingham told The Salt Lake Tribune.
