This is a great decision by Arkansas State. Anderson is one of the best coaches in the Group of Five and he’s made the Red Wolves a great football program.
Going 47-30 is a hell of an accomplishment when you’re talking about G5 teams and the Red Wolves made the correct choice in extending him.

When you find a coach like Anderson in the G5, you do what is necessary to keep him. Why? It’s pretty damn simple.
There aren’t a ton of guys like him floating around for G5 jobs. Will he eventually leave for a Power Five job? It’s possible, but he also seems to love Arkansas State.

All the way around, locking up Anderson was a great call from everyone involved.
