Gary Lee Andersen (born February 19, 1964) is the head football coach at Oregon State University. He was the head football coach at Wisconsin (2013–2014), Utah State (2009–2012), and Southern Utah University (2003). Andersen also served three years as the defensive coordinator at the University of Utah, where he coached the 2008 team that went undefeated and beat Alabama in the Sugar Bowl to finish #2 in the nation. He left the Badgers to coach for Oregon State in December 2014.
Andersen began his football career playing center at Ricks College (now Brigham Young University–Idaho) in Rexburg, Idaho, where he received first-team junior college All-America honors in 1984. He transferred to the University of Utah in Salt Lake City, where he lettered two years for the Utes and graduated in 1986 with a bachelor's degree in political science.
Andersen served as the assistant head coach, defensive coordinator and defensive line coach for the University of Utah in 2005–2008. He was a 2008 finalist for the Broyles Award, given annually to the nation's top college football assistant coach.
Andersen was the head coach at Utah State for four seasons, beginning with 4–8 records in 2009 and 2010. His first winning season at Utah State came in 2011 (7–6) and his fourth and final year was the most successful, as the 2012 Aggies won 11 games and lost only two (the two losses were by 2 and 3 points against Wisconsin and BYU, respectively).
