After ten seasons and a recent Rose Bowl appearance, head coach Tommy Prothro departed for UCLA in January 1965, and forty-year-old Andros was hired in early February.[2][3][4] A Marine in World War II, he was the head coach at Idaho (1962–1964), and had played college football as a guard at Oklahoma in the late 1940s under head coach Bud Wilkinson. Andros led OSU for eleven years, through 1975, compiling a 51–64–1 (.444) record, (30–37–1 (.449) in AAWU/Pac-8), then was the athletic director until 1985.
The Beavers defeated rival Oregon for a second consecutive year, this time on the road in the final installment of the Civil War contested at Hayward Field; when the Beavers returned to Eugene two years later, the Ducks had moved into Autzen Stadium.[5] It was the first of seven straight wins for Andros in the Civil War game.
