John Hartwell speaks at a press conference where he was introduced as Utah State University's new Director of Athletics on Wednesday, June 3, 2015.

The Utah State offense found great success in 2018 by working quickly, and Aggies athletic director John Hartwell is hoping the same will be true as he searches for the next coach to lead the program after Matt Wells, on Thursday, became the new head coach at Texas Tech.

Hartwell quipped during a conference call with media Friday morning that “you never know until you have a head coaching job available how many new best friends you have,” noting the large number of people from various levels of football who have already expressed interest in a job he feels is positioned for long-term success.
