Is that good? I honestly don't know.

Andersen's OC turned down the OC job at NC State that went to Canada and Andersen's DC turned down the DC job at Cal that went to Andy Buh.  They can't be horrible.

His OC runs a spread offense, as a matter of fact Andersen has always been involoved with spread offenses I believe....at least at Utah and Utah State.

Canada came from a spread background and he did alright.

Would still like for him to keep Strickland for sure!  He has shown to be a strong recruiter here in southern WI.  Plus he has the ins at the football factory schools such as Arrowhead, Brookfield East and West.  Also like what Miller has done and hope even as an assistant of some sort that he stays.  The kids like him and what he has brought to the line.

No Strickland? We have a lot of Wisconsin kids verbalized.

Picking your own staff is normal with outside hires. I don't think I've ever heard of an AD demanding that a certain assistant be retained.

What about our OLine coach Bart Miller?  He's shown a lot and deserves to stay; and it should be obvious that stability at that post is critical.

That is debatable.

Actually Andersen doesnt have anything to do with the offense, he is a defensive man, also I promise you right now BA told him he had to run a pro style for the most part, maybe a little spread here and there with White and Gordon

He did alright his last game, wasn't overly impressed.

Source says offer from Wisconsin has been made...If Andersen accepts, he is expected to take entire coaching staff with him

Not so sure this a good thing....not at all.

RB coach is going elsewhere....so hopefully Hammock stays.

Exactly.  Strickland has made many good inroads with the WI hs coaches.

This news could really paint the Ben Herbert departure in an entirely different light.  The USU coaching staff roster includes strength and conditioning coach Evan Simon.  BA may have had to tell Herbert that the job was no longer his.

Well,they will lock down all the Mormon recruits.

It'll keep Biegel committed.

He played center in college and was an OL coach and OC in his early years.

Sanford, the RB coach, took a job at Indiana State and was not a paid employee by USU as he was still on contract until the end of this year from UNLV. 

This consideration is a head scratcher as Gary likes to recruit Polynesians.  Does Wisconsin have a big Poly base?

Disclaimer:  I could be wrong?

Very excited by that staff! Great DC, excellent OC up and comer, strong S&C... We've done well with a lot worse staff than that, and recently!

Too bad they recruit all over..Their OC does well in Texas and OKL, while the DC handles Cali, but nice try, please read and do your research before you posts ignorant sh1t

I'm pretty sure that GA & his staff speak english...........the Wisconsin kids will be able to understand him.....................don't worry about the small stuff........ they're committed and most will stay that way........the ones that don't...........oh well.....

Has anyone heard if all of the grad assistants & water boys and girls will be retained??  Calm down dude, things will work themselves out...

With all the talk about 12/19 I asked a little facetiously if we were going to see an announcement at 5:05 CT on 12/19. And it looks like that might be pretty close to what's going to happen.

I have to imagine this is a little premature.  Who knows what happens if Utah St turns around and offers the head job to one of Anderson's coordinators or if one of his position coaches gets offered a coordinator position to stay at Utah St.  Not to mention maybe some of his coaches want to live in Utah and don't want to move.  I doubt the entire staff comes to Madison.  Let's see what happens over the next few days.

Yes, and according to the Mayan's, we will all be gone on 12/21......

That's why I never quite understood the hysteria around who'll be the coach. Don't these people know there won't be a 2013 season?

Hell, there won't even be a Rose Bowl......

The ones who jumped too soon have made their beds let them lay in them good ridden, We will start over.

Andersen won't come without his assistants with him, but Barry Alvarez isn't willing to pay those "outrageous" salaries Utah State was paying them.

Funny because Andersen was only making 700K as Utah State head coach.  I think we'll be ok.

The wink means he was joking, plus a funny comment on how cheap UW is at paying their assistants.

This info somewhat dated now, but ALL the assistants only made $700k in 2011.
