In a recent article from Ross Delenger of Yahoo Sports, Neal Brown was listed as one of three coaches who are under the most pressure this season. The article is linked below.
“As one person put it, Brown is ‘coaching for his life,’” said Dellenger. “While that’s a bit sensationalized, it further emphasizes that Brown’s seat is the hottest among FBS coaches entering the 2023 season. With new AD Wren Baker hired last fall and an outgoing president in Gordon Gee, a coaching change feels imminent if Brown can’t, at the very least, get the Mountaineers bowling. He’s never lost more than seven games at the school — but he’s done that three times in four seasons. His buyout is expected to be around $13 million.”
Brown, who is entering his fifth season as head coach of the Mountaineers, has struggled during his tenure, compiling a record of 22-25 in four seasons.
The Mountaineers begin their season on September 2nd at the No. 7 ranked Penn State Nittany Lions. Kickoff for that game is set for 7:30 p.m.
