When first-year WKU head coach Mike Sanford Jr. was hired to replace Jeff Brohm in December, he made sure to hire a certain individual to his staff, creating a unique storyline in the process. Mike Sanford Sr. has been coaching college football since 1977, and has served as head coach at Utah (2005-2009) and Indiana State (2013-2016).
