Bart Andrus (born March 30, 1958) is an American professional football coach and former collegiate player. He has served as head coach for the Amsterdam Admirals of the NFL Europe League (NFLEL) from 2001 to 2007, the Toronto Argonauts of the Canadian Football League (CFL) in 2009, and the Omaha Nighthawks of the United Football League (UFL) in 2012, compiling a career record of 40 wins and 54 losses. Andrus also was the head football coach at Rocky Mountain College in 1996, posting a mark of 6–4.
Andrus was born in Logan, Utah and grew up in Sepulveda, California (now called North Hills), a community in the San Fernando Valley of the city of Los Angeles. While attending Monroe High School, he played quarterback on the football team, earning first-team All-Mid-Valley League honors his senior year in 1975. Following graduation, Andrus played two years of junior college football. He originally enrolled at Los Angeles Valley College in 1976, before transferring to the College of the Canyons in Santa Clarita, California the next year. In 1978, Andrus moved on to Oregon State University in Corvallis. After not seeing any playing time with the Beavers that year, he transferred to the University of Montana. During his first season in Missoula, he played in a backup role, completing three of 16 passes for 18 yards while also rushing 14 times for 83 yards. As a senior in 1980, Andrus shared starting quarterback duties with future Detroit Lions head coach Marty Mornhinweg. He completed 69 of 118 attempts for 688 yards and also punted 61 times for an 40.0-yard average. At the conclusion of the season, Andrus was selected to the Big Sky Conference All-Academic team.
