According to multiple reports, and first reported by Steven Godfrey from SB Nation, Western Kentucky Football has fired Head Coach Mike Sanford after two seasons.
Sanford went 9-16 as coach of WKU, finishing with a 3-9 record and no bowl bid this season.
Sanford came to WKU following a two-year stint as the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Notre Dame. He had previously served as an assistant coach on The Hill in 2010.
In his first season as head coach of the Hilltoppers, Sanford led the Tops to a 6-7 record, finishing the 2017 season with a loss in the Cure Bowl to Georgia State. Sanford took over the coaching position after Jeff Brohm departed the program to coach at Purdue.
