Coach Mike Sanford one of college football’s brightest offensive minds and a former Hilltopper assistant, was named the 20th head football coach at Western Kentucky University on December 14.
Sanford, a 12-year college coaching veteran who coached quarterbacks on The Hill in 2010, returned to WKU following six seasons of success and achievement at Stanford, Boise State and, most recently, Notre Dame. Since taking over the reins of the program in December 2016, Sanford’s mark on the program both internally and externally has been evident from the beginning.
Speaking of his father, Sanford said, "The thing I’ve always been impressed with him is his faith and my faith, very similarly, have always governed the way he lives his life as a football coach. I hope to be worthy of that as I continue this great endeavor.”
