BOWLING GREEN, Ky. -- Jeff Brohms belief in taking chances and having a creative offence helped Western Kentucky pile up yardage, points and victories last season. It also helped him become the Hilltoppers new head coach. WKU athletic director Todd Stewart announced Friday that it was promoting the offensive co-ordinator, naming Brohm as its coach. Brohm is replacing Bobby Petrino, who Thursday was named the Louisville head coach. Brohm vowed to maintain WKUs offensive proficiency as the Hilltoppers move into Conference USA next season. "Were going to try to stay cutting edge, be ahead of the curve and be creative," he said during a press conference Friday afternoon after becoming WKUs 19th head coach. "Thats one thing as a coach that I take pride in -- not just studying ourselves but the best teams in the country, making sure were not missing out on anything other teams do," he said. "And making sure were giving our players the best chance to succeed." Brohm, 42, takes control of a Hilltoppers squad that went 8-4 in their final year as a member of the Sun Belt Conference and just missed a second straight bowl appearance as an FBS school. A Louisville native who played quarterback for the Cardinals and was an assistant coach at the school under Petrino, Brohm built the Hilltoppers into the Sun Belts second-ranked offence (458.5 yards per game) in his first season as co-ordinator. Running back Antonio Andrews was named conference player of the year. The former NFL quarterback has sent 20 players including four QBs to the pros. Brohms coaching resume includes stops at Florida Atlantic, Illinois and UAB. Stewart said the Hilltoppers offensive success last season made searching for Petrinos replacement a no-brainer. "Jeff earned this over the past 12 months and was a big reason we won eight games," the AD said, adding that it would have been a waste of time to interview anyone else for the job. Brohm said Petrino was very supportive of him being a head coach while he was a co-ordinator and told him the "best thing" was to do it at WKU. Now that he has the job, the next step is trying to win the C-USA title. "I think its a quality conference and were excited to be in it," Brohm said. "It will bring a lot of energy to our fans and team to play new teams and experiment with going to different places and I think we fit in great. "In our first year our goal is to win the conference championship."

The 2-1 win at Stoke on December 19 took them up to sixth but they are winless in 12 league matches since, leaving them in 15th place, eight points clear of Norwich City in 18th.But despite their recent travails, Pardew believes his side can give surprise league leaders Leicester a fright this weekend. Leicesters Jamie Vardy scores the only goal in the reverse fixture in October The results at home havent been what Ive wanted since I got here, says Pardew. Our philosophy is to go toe-to-toe.I want us to be more consistent and be an established Premier League team. For half of last term and half of this one we were, but we must improve.Ive got some great players here, I love managing them and I love it here. Im looking forward to these next nine games.Our history is littered with upsets against the odds, thats what this club is about. The stars have aligned and the planets have aligned for Leicester this season. Theyve had hardly any injuries, made hardly any mistakes in their campaign.Now the run is clear for them, they are the cleear favourites, even Sir Alex Ferguson said theyre going to win it.dddddddddddd For us, its envy a little bit for what theyve done and also admiration. Yohan Cabaye scores the first goal in the 2-0 FA Cup win at Reading Pardew is taking heart from the 2-0 win at Reading in the sixth round of the FA Cup and is urging his team to translate their Cup form to the league. They have won just four league matches at Selhurst Park this season. He said: Were in decent form but not as much in the league and we have a chance to turn that around in this next spell and theres a real determination this week on my part, the coaches part and among the players to do that.I noticed in the end period of the Reading game that we saw the game out comfortably. Weve not done that in the league and thats telling me there is a slight psychological issue with the team.Its understandable when everyone is reminding us of our position in the league and we have to get over that. We have to see a game out.
