Former Western Kentucky head football coach Mike Sanford has been hired by new Utah State coach Gary Andersen as the Aggies' offensive coordinator, according to multiple reports Friday.
Sanford would be reunited with former WKU offensive line coach TJ Woods, who left to join the Utah State staff earlier this week.
Sanford, who was fired as WKU's coach Nov. 25 after two seasons, completed his tenure with a 3-9 record in 2018. He replaced Jeff Brohm as the Hilltoppers' head coach prior to the 2017 season and led WKU to a 6-7 mark and an appearance in the Cure Bowl (a 27-17 loss to Georgia State) that year.
