Below is the caste system in a nutshell as spoken by uber caste-whore Gary Andersen. So glad this ******* got out of Wisconsin as fast as he could before he darkened up the roster with all that "juice". The real reason he left is because he was trying to bring affletes to a school that has academic standards that have to be met and he couldn't stand having to coach a bunch of talented white kids because in his warped mind they are nothing more than over achievers that lack any type of natural ability.
He was a bad coach and had them unprepared in some big games last year. He handled the QB situation poorly. Alvarez came back to coach them against Auburn - an example of team with all of that supposed "juice" and defeated them. I hope Andersen fails at Oregon State and than toils in obscurity for the rest of his mediocre career. What a P.O.S.
[h=1]Oregon State’s Gary Andersen says speed separates Pac-12 from Big Ten[/h] Posted by Kevin McGuire on July 31, 2015, 4:30 PM EDT
Earlier in the day in Chicago new Nebraska head coach
Mike Riley was
asked about the difference between the Pac-12 and the Big Ten, to which the nicest coach in the world shrugged off the notion of the two conferences being too different. His replacement at Oregon State, former Wisconsin head coach
Gary Andersen, has a different take on the subject.
“Well, the speed,†Andersen replied when asked the same question at the Pac-12 media day event Friday. “If you want to talk about something that is different. This is without question, and I’m looking from afar through a TV screen or a big jumbo screen we have in the offices that we watch film from and on the TV.
“[T]his league has what we like to call juice,†Andersen explained.
“It is fast. There are a lot of guys that make one mistake and you’re going to pay the price quickly. On the defensive side it is the same way. There are elite pass rushers that are fast and quick. There are linebackers that can run on the back end that I believe can make up for a lot of problems that — it’s hard to solve with a pen in your hand, but genetics take over and make you some special plays.â€
Prior to taking the Wisconsin head coaching job in 2013, Andersen was the head coach of Utah State. During his tenure at Utah State he coached against one Pac-12 team, in which he emerged victorious over Utah in 2012. In his two seasons with the Badgers in Madison, Anderson lost on the road against Arizona State (
in bizarre fashion). So he does have some first-hand experience coaching against the Pac-12 to compare with his brief experience in the Big Ten (
which did not end well). Andersen also thinks the Pac-12 lacks credit as a tough conference, physically.
“I never hear people talking about this league is tough-minded. I know it’s not the class, flashy thing to talk about, right, anyway, with the offensive and defensive lines,†Andersen said. “But the fact of the matter is they’re well coached. They’re tough kids. They play with leverage and play with great technique. That is something that jumped out on me on film because I look for that stuff.â€
