New Oregon State coach Gary Andersen has hired Colorado State offensive coordinator Dave Baldwin for the same position and Utah State offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach Kevin McGiven as quarterbacks coach, the school officially announced Sunday afternoon.

"Dave and Kevin bring experience and continuity to our staff and offense," Andersen said in a release. "I know what to expect from these two as coaches and what to expect from our offense. They absolutely fit our program and Oregon State University, and this is another great step for our future."

Colorado State's Dave Baldwin is joining Gary Andersen's Oregon State staff.

Andersen highlighted in his first days on the job in Corvallis that he wants variety on offense, from the ability to change tempo to a quarterback that can make plays with both his arm and his legs. The coach seems to have found the proper director in Baldwin, who has run multiple systems during his 30-plus years of coaching.

Baldwin coordinated one of college football's more potent offenses in 2014, using a versatile attack that currently ranks in the top 20 in the nation in total offense (18th, 480.9 yards per game) and passing offense (eighth, 321.6 yards per game). Quarterback Garrett Grayson was the Mountain West Conference Offensive Player of the Year after totaling more than 4,000 passing yards, 32 touchdowns and seven interceptions, while running back Dee Hart compiled more than 1,200 rushing yards and 16 touchdowns and receiver Rashard Higgins tallied more than 1,700 yards and 17 touchdowns.

Baldwin was Andersen's offensive coordinator at Utah State from 2009-11 before holding the same position at Colorado State the past three seasons. He most recently served as the Rams' interim coach for the Last Vegas Bowl after Jim McElwain left to take the head coaching job at Florida.

McGiven, meanwhile, spent the last two seasons at Utah State and was also at the school as the quarterbacks coach/assistant head coach under Andersen in 2009.

This season, McGiven navigated a Utah State offense that needed to use four different starting quarterbacks due to injuries and still averaged 26.9 points and 378.8 yards per game.

Baldwin's other previous stops include New Mexico (2007-08, offensive coordinator), Michigan State (2003-06, offensive coordinator), Baylor (2002, offensive coordinator), Cincinnati (2001, offensive coordinator) San Jose State (1997-2000, head coach and 1980-83, wide receivers), Cal State Northridge (1996, head coach and 1978-79, wide receivers/tight ends/secondary), Santa Rosa Junior College (1995, head coach), Santa Barbara City College (1990-93, head coach) and Stanford (1984-88, wide receivers/passing game coordinator).

McGiven has also coached at Weber State (2006-08, offensive coordinator/quarterbacks), Memphis (2010-11, quarterbacks/assistant head coach of offense) and Montana State (2012, offensive coordinator/quarterbacks).
