i found this info on our football forum. looks like willie is putting together his staff and i like what i see so far.

defensive co-ordinator:
ANDY BUH
Position: Co-Defensive Coordinator/Linebackers CoachExperience:3rd Season (2008)
Alma Mater (Year): Nevada (1996)

Coaching Career
2007-08 • Stanford, Linebackers*
2006 • Fresno State, Graduate Assistant
2002-05 • San Diego State, Linebackers
2000-01 • California, Defensive Administrative Assistant
1999 • Nevada, Defensive Backs/Special Teams
1997-98 • Nevada, Graduate Assistant
1996 • Orange Glen HS, Assistant
*Promoted to Co-Defensive Coordinator in January 2008

The 2009 season will mark Andy Buh's third year on the Stanford coaching staff and his second as the team's co-defensive coordinator.

Under Buh and assistant head coach/co-defensive coordinator Ron Lynn, Stanford was an improved defensive team last season, as the Cardinal imcreased its numbers in total defense, rushing defense and pass defense from the year before.

As linebackers coach, Buh has tutored an aggressive group of linebackers, including Clinton Snyder and Pat Maynor, who earned honorable mention accolades in 2007 and '08, respectively. In addition, Chike Amajoyi and Nick Macaluso earned first team Sporting News all-freshmen team honors following the 2008 season.
Prior to joining Stanford's staff for the 2007 season, Buh had collegiate coaching stops at Nevada (1997-99), California (2000-01), San Diego State (2002-05) and Fresno State (2006).

At Fresno State, he served as a graduate assistant on Pat Hill's staff, assisting with the linebackers, special teams and running the Bulldogs scout team.

Before his stop in Fresno, Buh worked as the linebackers coach at San Diego State from 2002-05, helping the Aztecs assemble a defensive unit that ranked eighth nationally in total defense in 2003. One of Buh's pupils was Kirk Morrison, who twice was named the Mountain West Conference's Defensive Player of the Year. In 2005, two Aztec linebackers appeared on national watch lists for the Nagurski and Butkus Awards.

In addition, Buh coached four Aztec players--Matt McCoy, Kirk Morrison, Freddie Keiaho and Heath Farwell--who went onto play in the NFL. McCoy was drafted in the second round of the 2005 NFL Draft by the Philadelphia Eagles, while the Oakland Raiders tabbed Morrison in the third round. Keiaho was a third round selection of the Indianapolis Colts in 2006 while Farwell played three seasons with the Minnesota Vikings after signing a free agent contract.
Buh spent two seasons (2000-01) at Cal, where he served as a defensive administrative assistant working with the defensive coordinator and linebackers.

His first collegiate coaching assignment was at the University of Nevada, where he served as a graduate assistant at his alma mater for the 1997-98 seasons. He accepted a position as secondary coach at Saint Mary's College in Moraga in the spring of 1999, but elected to return to Nevada to work with the secondary and assist with special teams prior to the '99 season.

A two-year varsity letterwinner from 1993-94 at Nevada under head coach Chris Ault, Buh began his collegiate playing career at Palomar College, where he helped the Comets to a share of the 1991 Junior College Grid Wire national championship. He earned junior college All-America honors following the 1992 season before transferring to Nevada.

A native of Escondido, Calif. and a 1991 graduate of Orange Glen High School, Buh earned a bachelor's degree in physical education from Nevada in 1996.
Andy and his wife Kelly reside in Palo Alto.

quarterbacks coach / passing game co-ordinator:

Mike Sanford
Tight Ends Coach, Recruiting Coordinator
Mike Sanford, who spent the last two years as an offensive assistant for the Stanford football program, will be the Bulldogs' tight ends coach and will serve as the recruiting coordinator. Sanford worked alongside Cardinal head coach Jim Harbaugh in tutoring the Stanford signal-callers. He was instrumental in the development of Tavita Pritchard, who made his first career start against USC in 2007, a 24-23 upset for the Cardinal.

Sanford is a former Boise State quarterback who played on four bowl teams during his five-year career at Boise State. With Sanford, the Broncos compiled a 54-9 record, including an 11-1 mark during his senior campaign in 2004. After his playing career, Sanford was a student assistant for the Broncos the following spring, assisting his former position coach and current head coach, Chris Petersen, with the quarterbacks.

Before coaching in the Pac-10, Sanford served as an offensive graduate assistant at the University of Nevada Las Vegas (UNLV) for two seasons (2005-06). While in Las Vegas, Sanford worked with his father, Mike, the Rebels' head coach and a longtime veteran of the collegiate and professional coaching ranks.

The younger Sanford worked primarily with the Rebel quarterbacks and served as the specialists coach. Sanford received his bachelor's degree in political science from Boise State in 2005. He married the former Anne-Marie Mitchell in May of 2005.

I'd be kinda worried that his head coordinators are both west coast guys. I'm going to assume he fills in his staff with SE or Ohio guys, wherever he or his recruiting coordinator decides to focus on recruiting from.

But the coaches look good to me (granted I have no idea who these guys are). WKU has the potential and the university commitment to succeed at this level.

I'm thrilled that our university is as committed to sports as they are. Yes academics are important but too many universities just don't care...not WKU and that is good to know.

Willie Taggart is head over most of the recruiting and while he was at Stanford he was recruiting the SE very heavily so I'm not too worried about recruiting.
