So Gary Anderson who was Love's coach last season at Utah State was fired this week. They were off to an 0-3 start this season after going 7-6 last season. Was Anderson's coaching the reason Love had a bad year last year and he is more inclined to play like he did in 2018 and not how he played in 2019? From a Badger 247 article:
“If you do some comparisons and look at our program only two years ago around the first of December, we were first or second in the country in scoring offense, top-5 in total offense and were ranked No. 19 in the country,” Hartwell said, via Trent Wood of the Deseret News. “Not even two years later, those tables have been flipped in the wrong direction.”
This was Andersen’s second season in his second stint with Utah State, as he previously coached the Aggies from 2009 to 2012 prior to leaving for Wisconsin. He then left Wisconsin for Oregon State after just two seasons in an odd move, and the Beavers fired Andersen during his third season in 2017.
Andersen didn’t particularly take advantage of having a first-round pick at quarterback last season in Jordan Love, as Utah State went just 7-6 and lost 42-14 to in-state rival BYU. Hartwell said that BYU’s recent success relative to the Aggies played a role in the decision.
