The Gary Andersen era ended at Oregon State without warning Monday after two seasons and six games.
I didn't deal with Andersen much directly. When I did, he always impressed me with his willingness to meet questions head on. I found him a very direct, stand-up guy.
Maybe he could have turned this thing around eventually. But the season went so bad so quickly he lost many of the fans. Recruiting, never easy at OSU, would have been prohibitively difficult going forward.
Here is a story by The O's Danny Moran, detailing how it went down.
