Andy Ball, who has served two stints on the Missouri S&T football coaching staff and most recently as the associate head coach, has been elevated to the head coaching position for the Miner program.
After serving on the S&T staff as offensive line coach and special teams coordinator from 2007-10, Ball returned to the Miner program prior to the 2018 season to be the offensive coordinator and offensive line coach. He added the title of associate head coach a year later and was in that position until being named interim head coach after Todd Drury stepped down from the post on March 9.
I am beyond humbled to accept the position of head coach here at Missouri S&T," Ball said. "My wife and I fell in love with this university and town during our first stint in Rolla. It was an answered prayer when Coach Tyler Fenwick offered us the opportunity to come back and rejoin the Miner family.
"Coach Fenwick and Coach Drury have built an incredible football program and I'm incredibly excited to follow where they left off," Ball added. "We have a tremendous group of players who inspire me every day and I can't wait to get on the field with them this spring. I'm excited to get to work with this great staff. I want to thank director of athletics Melissa Ringhausen for this wonderful opportunity.
