Hilltoppers dismiss Elson in 7th season
Western Kentucky have fired coach David Elson amid the Hilltoppers' first fully eligible season for Football Bowl Subdivision play, a source told ESPN.com's Pat Forde on Monday.
Western Kentucky fell to 0-9 and 0-5 in the Sun Belt Conference after a 40-20 loss Saturday to Troy.
Elson, 39-41 in seven seasons as the Hilltoppers' coach, was fired Sunday night, the source said, but will finish the season with the team.
A press conference was set for Monday at 2 p.m. ET to announce the move.
WKU should look to someone like Hugh Freeze at Lambuth. He's a good coach and was responsible for the Memphis recruiting when he was here at Ole Miss and was actually liked by the players unlike some of the other coaches.

Freeze is a good coach and even better individual. Man, has he come a long way from Briarcrest.
