Anderson's Bio


Love the hire, if this is in fact the guy. My takeaways from his bio:

-He was the starting center for Michigan and was the team's top offensive lineman. Rec'd All Big 10 honorable mention. He was on the Michigan squad we faced in the 1999 Citrus Bowl.

-He's worked with tight ends and defensive line in addition to offensive line.

-As a GA at Michigan, he helped coach Jake Long.

-Eastern Michigan had a great run game when he was running game coordinator and o-line coach.

-4 years working in the NFL as offensive line assistant coach. Buffalo is #1 in rushing yards this season. In 2013, Buffalo was 2nd in rushing yards. In 2012, Buffalo was 6th in rushing yards.

Underwhelming hire but it is just an OL coach.
Rex Ryan kept him which is a good sign because he prides himself on a power running game.
The recruiting angle is a head-scratcher. Recruiting is about relationships and he has none in the south.

He is probably a very good teacher and developer but it is an unknown on recruiting.

frick Bielema, that dude doesn't know shite about hiring an OL coach. I mean, I know he's consistently put OL in the NFL and trotted out some of the best OLs in the country, but he really should've run this hire by us first. No southern ties? god Bielema is a moron. We all know the midwest doesn't produce good O-linemen.
