Coachs from high school???? They are a d-1 program trying to grow you have to go big.Jab979 said
Again, I don't work for them but I disagree with their assessment. Why not try and find an up and coming coach maybe a local H.S. coach or a former player who has coaching experience. They're basically saying we know we're a stepping and stone and we're ok with that so Petrino its ok if you leave after 2 years, we're cool with it
Wille TAggert was a former WKU player and he still left if your going to have coach who is going to leave you should just get the best.

As far as name recognition goes it's a good hire. I have no respect for the man but I don't work for WKU. Just his name alone will help them in recruiting, but WKU hired the wrong man if they think he's going to be there for the long haul. I say 2 seasons max. He'll do well, win games and stay out of trouble and he'll be back at a bigger program in no time
Please name a high school coach who was hired to be a head coach at a division 1 program and was sucessful…Dodge ring a bell? High school coach, no matter how sucessful do not get hired to be head coaches of college football programs without working there way up the coordinator positions.
Any coach who has GREAT sucess in the Sun Belt or C-USA will be hired away quickly…that's how the world turns. Let me ask you if we went through 2 coaches over the last 2 years, but we won 2 conference titles and went to and hopefully won 2 bowl games…I will sign up for that.

No doubt he'll be at an AQ school after three years. Dude is too good not to be.

He is a HUGE name and everyone around the country will want to see what he does. Recruits will know who he is and networks are going to want him on TV because they love controversy. (see Lane Kiffin.) They may be taking a gamble image wise, but they know what type of product is going to be put out on the field.
Kudos to the Hilltoppers.

Good hire for Western Kentucky… actually probably the best guy they could have brought it.

Completely agree. He should be able to snag some really good talent there as well based on his offensive pedigree alone.
