Potential Replacements for Mike Sanford

When Mike Sanford was hired by Brian Kelly almost exactly two years ago, everyone knew he wasn't going to be sticking around for very long. The right head coaching opportunity was going to come his way at some point. It was a "when" and not an "if".

Sure enough, Sanford is off to be the head guy at Western Kentucky and is taking over a program that has won 22 games in the last two seasons. It should set up well for him to make it a pit stop for the next big job if he can keep that same pace.
