Former Utah offensive coordinator Andy Ludwig said he couldn't turn down the opportunity to coach with legend Bill Snyder at Kansas State when he accepted the offer to be K-State's offensive coordinator. Evidently, the chance to coach at Cal was even more tantalizing. Ludwig was announced as Cal's new offensive coordinator Friday, replacing Frank Cignetti, who left Cal to fill the same position at Pittsburgh.
Ludwig, who was with the Utes from 2005 through 2008, also had coaching stints at Oregon (2002-04), Fresno State (1998-01) and Cal Poly (1997). At Cal, Ludwig will coach along with Jeff Tedford. The two have never coached together, but Ludwig was Tedford's successor as the offensive coordinator at both Fresno State and Oregon when Tedford left those positions. "I've kept in touch with him over the years and followed his career, and we have a lot of history together," Tedford said in a press release. "Andy is an excellent coach, which is evident by his guiding Utah to an undefeated record last year. He is an outstanding offensive coordinator and play caller." Ludwig was announced as Kansas State's offensive coordinator on Dec. 17, but helped coach the Utes through the Sugar Bowl.
