B.J. Anderson will not return

Offensive line coach not
returning to Texas A&M:
Coach Kevin Sumlin announced offensive line coach
B.J. Anderson will not return
to the staff and won’t coach the
Aggies against West Virginia in
the AutoZone Liberty Bowl on
Dec. 29.
No reason was given for the
move, but A&M’s offensive line
didn’t live up to expectations
this season. Anderson had
coached under Sumlin at
Houston and moved to Aggieland with him in 2012.
