LOGAN — Utah State announced that Utah assistant head football coach Gary Andersen is returning to his old job as head coach of the Aggies on Sunday night.
Andersen was the head coach for Utah State from 2009 to 2012 with a record of 26-24. While the Aggies went 4-8 in his first two years in Logan, he broke a 14-year bowl-less streak in 2011. In his final season at Utah State, the Aggies won 11 games and finished ranked No. 16 in the AP. Given Utah State's struggles in the years and even decades before he came to Logan, Andersen's accomplishments there were nothing short of extraordinary.
