Rob Anderson hired as Thermopolis coach

Former Teton (Idaho) defensive coordinator Rob Anderson has been hired as the head coach at Thermopolis.

Anderson — the brother of Lyman coach Dale Anderson — was at Teton for nine years, the last three as defensive coordinator.

Anderson verified the hiring via telephone with wyoming-football.com today.

He will also be the head girls basketball coach at Thermopolis; he was the head boys basketball coach at Teton before leaving for the Bobcats. The Teton football team qualified for the Idaho Class 3A playoffs a year ago but lost in the first round.

A native of Mackay, Idaho, Anderson said he met with the teams in Thermopolis last week and will move to Thermopolis later this month.
