West Virginia University has fired head football coach Neal Brown, according to multiple sources. Brown, who had been with the team since 2019, compiled a record of 37-35 overall and 25-28 in the Big 12 conference. His tenure ended following a 52-15 loss to Texas Tech in the regular-season finale, drawing criticism for his performance. The decision to move on from Brown is expected to cost the university between $9.5 and $10 million in buyouts. The team was informed of the change during a 4 p.m. Zoom meeting, and the search for a new head coach has begun, with four other Power Four jobs currently open.
