Greg Andrulis

Greg Andrulis (born February 15, 1958 in Waterbury, Connecticut) is an American soccer coach, currently the head coach at George Mason University.

Before taking his position with George Mason in 2005, Andrulis spent nearly a decade with the Columbus Crew, joining the team in the inaugural Major League Soccer season of 1996, becoming a top assistant to Tom Fitzgerald. Prior to Columbus, he was the head coach of Wright State University from 1985 to 1996. Andrulis became the Crew's interim coach midway through the 2001 season, after Fitzgerald was fired, and was given the job full-time after the season.

In 2002, he led the Crew to its first and only title, the US Open Cup. In 2004, Andrulis took the Crew on a league-record streak without a loss, and was named MLS Coach of the Year. Following up on a disappointing playoff appearance in 2004, in 2005, Columbus got off to a slow start at 4-10-2, and Andrulis was fired. His assistant, Robert Warzycha led the team for the remainder of the '05 season in an interim role.

In 2006, he led George Mason to its first NCAA tournament bid in 20 years.
