Utah State football: New coach looking for patience as team rebuilds
51 comments | Read story
I don't think the Aggies will be good I know they can be, they have been before.
I am not one who believes we will beat Utah anytime soon but we can certainly be competitive within the WAC which is certainly a starting point.
I do think despite the record we made steps last year but Anderson can bring us to a level I am certain Guy never would have.
Go Ags.
The only reason a coach would go to Logan is to build a resume and then move on. The "move on" part is what Anderson will do as soon as the "opportunity" presents itself.
Why can't the players "dump" their coaches with the same impunity given to coaches?
BYU has the church angle which I thinks keeps guys around a little longer to really long (Lavell), and that is cool with me.
I want a coach who will improve the program THIS year. I don't want to keep a coach who will keep us mired WELL BELOW mediocrity.
I could give you an anology but the DNews would block it for sure.
Anyway I like the hire and I will still when he leaves in a year or two.
If he leaves that is just fine with me, as long as he leaves things better than when he found them.
And one more thing, there are a lot of reasons why a person would want to be a long time coach at Utah State. Sure, you're not going to be competing for a national title every year, but Cache Valley is a wonderful place to live your life and raise your family.
Um, no it isn't.
Yes, it is. Love it. Beautiful. Spacious. Quiet. What's not to like?
And by the way Cache Valley is a great place to live and raise a family. I left for career reasons, was gone for over 10 years. I was thrilled to be able to move back a few years ago. This is the greatest place in the world to raise a family.
I too believe that USU would do better competing in a lower division. They get all the leftover recruits that Boise, Utah, BYU, Wyoming, and even UNLV don't get. They often look totally confused and unfocused when playing the top caliber competition and it's embarrassing to watch.
I've never lived in Logan, but I imagine that it's like any other larger rural community in the state. To me, it's just as good living there as it would be in Cedar City or St. George, and I've been to all 3 places many, many times.
Funny thing is...I'm a BYU fan, and I wish the best of luck to USU. Having another Utah school get some respect can only help other Utah schools.
P.S. I don't live in Cache Valley...I live in the east, and trust me...if theres an area to knock on, I'll be happy to give some suggestions :) haha.
As for "Only way is up!!", no the team will very likely be a basement dweller forever, what talented kid would want to play in Logan, when if they wanted to stay in the State of Utah could play for the U or the Y?
The school should just stick to basketball.
P.S.--Corvallis is a real nice place to live and raise a family too!!
Go Aggies! Go USU! Utah State hey Aggies all the way!
Go Ags
Indeed, these are the words of wisdom I pass on in my old age.
Go Aggies
Thank you to the AD and President for deciding that Athletics is important to the university and the community. It helps bind those students of the past, present and future. I know that our football team will be able to come back and grow from this point forward.
Get rid of the program, Cache Valley is the armpit of Utah, Andersen hype is no different from Guy hype, drop out of division I, focus on basketball, yadda yadda yadda...
If you're a Ute or Cougar fan and you say this, and you're still in high school, then I don't think there's much I can write to prevail upon you to higher thinking. If you don't have a bedtime or curfew and you say the same tired junk, just remember that the big SEC schools think the EXACT same about you - big BCS wins by Utah notwithstanding.
I guess that's a comfort for Aggie fans, knowing that we get picked on because other fans feel picked on.
Go Aggies.

that is 4 wins they will have a chance against to beats sjsu and nevada both at home and and a chance against fsu and hawaii. If they win two of those four games and the four they should win that is 6-6. The minimum number of wins should be 4 with 6 a possibility.
It seems odd to me that you - as a Californian highschool football coach - are so intricately invloved in the relationship between the Utah State head coach and some of his players so as to be specifcally informed as to the personal feelings of specific players.
Either 1) you are not really a highscool football coach in Californai; or 2) there is more to the story. Or perhaps both.
to Hopeful Fan... I'm guessing your son was offered NOTHING, even by USU!
Go AGS
