In the eleventh and final year for Dee Andros as head coach, the Beavers were 1–10 overall and 1–6 in the Pacific-8 Conference (Pac-8). Following an eighth straight loss to open the season, he announced his resignation in early November, effective at the end of the season.[1] Oregon State's only win came the following week, 7–0 over Washington State in a land-grant cellar matchup in Parker Stadium.[2][3][4] In the season finale Civil War against Oregon at Eugene, the Beavers lost for the first time at Autzen Stadium.[5]
Andros stepped down and became the OSU athletic director in late November,[6][7] and retired a decade later in 1985. Craig Fertig, a 33-year-old USC assistant and former Trojan quarterback, was hired as the Beavers' head coach in December, with a three-year contract at $26,000 per year.[8][9]
