  Will Gary Anderson ever be an assistant at Utah again?
  
  It seems that he has a bad rep in coaching circles right now. I liked him as an assistant at Utah, but do we want the baggage he carries? I know coach Mac maintains a close relationship with him and I wouldn’t be surprised that he and Kyle are still close.
  
  Thoughts?

    I don’t believe there is an opening right now. I was just asking if people thought that GA would ever be an assistant at Utah again.

      Maybe in a John Pease capacity to mentor and bridge the gap for a coordinator that isn’t quite ready to take the reigns. But, I doubt it.

        John Pease was a huge loss when he’d opted to retire. We were lucky to have ever had him.

        No doubt. That guy has forgotten more about defensive football than the members of this board know. His schemes in 2015 were spectacular.

  I’m just gonna flat out say not while KW is head coach. He has proven himself to be a flake. Even if he and Kyle are buddies, I think Kyle would decline at this point. Too many other fish in the sea.

    I agree. Gary has some serious problems and who knows if he will ever be like he was before.

      I agree that Gary likely has some stuff to work out. I’ve met him a couple times, most recently at a Logan coaches show. He didn’t seem himself.
      
      but I doubt Kyle feels hard done by Gary leaving to take the Utah State job and I bet he’d take a close look at Gary if an opening popped up.

      The one time I met him in person, his nose was ruddy as hell. To me, that could be a sign of an alcohol problem, but who knows?

  I wouldn’t mind having him (or Dennis Erickson) back at Utah — just so long as we don’t have to fire anyone to make room.

  He is a good coach but not a good head coach. If Kyle takes him back Gary needs to fulfill his contract.

    Ever watch Gary Anderson on “The Drive”, those documentary episodes on the pac-12 network? That guy was pretty full of himself.
