Brings 11 years of collegiate and NFL operations experience to USF
TAMPA, DEC. 16, 2022 – University of South Florida Head Coach Alex Golesh has named Andrew Warsaw to the role of associate athletic director/football chief of staff on his first USF football staff.
Warsaw, who owns 11 years of collegiate and NFL operations experience, recently completed his third season as the director of football operations at the University of Tennessee (2020-22), where he worked with Golesh for two seasons as part of Josh Heupel’s staff. Warsaw managed the football program’s budget, coordinated travel and the day-to-day operations of the football building.
“Andrew and I worked closely at Tennessee and he has established himself as one of the very best in the business in the internal operations of a football program over the last decade,” Golesh said. “I’m so excited and humbled that Andrew has agreed to fill the vital role of chief of staff for USF football and is bringing his tremendous young family to Tampa to help us build the Bulls program.”
Prior to his time at Tennessee, Warsaw spent two seasons as the assistant athletic director for football operations at Mississippi State (2018-19), where he managed and balanced the program’s annual eight-figure operating budget and coordinated the daily and yearly football schedule.
Warsaw previously served as the NFL’s director of game operations from December 2016 to December 2017. The Olney, Maryland, native coordinated team logistics and travel for international games as well as the Super Bowl. Warsaw oversaw all game day policies during the season and was based out of the league’s New York headquarters.
Prior to joining the NFL, Warsaw worked as the director of football operations at Purdue (2015-16), operations coordinator at Arizona (2013-15), and served in roles at Fordham (2012-13), the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy (2011-12), Penn and Villanova.
A 2009 graduate of West Virginia University, he spent four seasons as a student manager with the Mountaineers, helping to plan and prep for the 2006 Fiesta Bowl and the 2008 Meineke Car Care Bowl.
Warsaw and his wife, Ashley, have three children – Aiden, Landon and Eli.
