Mike Sanford, who spent last season as Yale's tight end coach and recruiting coordinator, has accepted the job as the quarterbacks coach and passing game coordinator at Western Kentucky.
Sanford, who came to Yale after spending two seasons on the staff at Stanford, was one of seven new assistant coaches hired last season by new Yale coach Tom Williams.
Ironically, he will work in the same state as his father as Mike Sanford Sr. was recently named the offensive coordinator at Louisville after being let go after five seasons as the head coach at Nevada, Las Vegas.
