Ball Named S&T Football Coach

A former Truman assistant has been hired as the new head football coach at Missouri S&T. Andy Ball, who has served two stints on the Miners staff and most recently as the associate head coach, has been elevated to the head coaching position.

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.

In between his two stints at S&T, Ball moved to Truman State, where he served as the defensive line coach and special teams coordinator for the Bulldogs for four years.

Ball’s father, Randy, play for the Bulldogs and previously served as the head coach at Western Illinois University and Missouri State University.
