Andy Brandi, one of the most successful coaches in the history of collegiate tennis, along with his son, Chris, have been named co-head coaches of the LSU men's tennis program, Vice Chancellor and Director of Athletics Joe Alleva announced on Wednesday.

As the head women's tennis coach at Florida from 1985-2001, Andy Brandi led the Gators to three NCAA National Titles and to six National Team Indoor Championships. He also guided the Florida women to 14 Southeastern Conference titles in his 17 years as head coach of the Gators.

During his 17-year run as Florida's head women's coach, the Gators posted a 460-43 overall record, which included three undefeated seasons and three others years in which they lost only one match. Andy Brandi's Florida teams had a 114-match regular-season winning streak and overall winning streaks of 62 and 53 matches.


Press Release

Impressive resume and seems like an elite hire. First the Sells and now the Brandis. Not bad, Joe.

Say what you will about Joe and his Big 3 hires, but he sure knows how to find a goat in the non revenue sports

Andy Brandi sounds handy and dandy. Glad he didn't name his kids Randy and Sandy.

Coach Brandi is a strong coach, but the men's and women's games are very different. I will be interested to see how he transitions...
