MORGANTOWN, W.Va.
— The University of West Virginia has officially parted ways with head football coach Neal Brown, whose tenure lasted six seasons, ending with an overall record of 37 wins and 35 losses.

Brown’s departure comes after a series of underwhelming seasons, which led to growing discontent among fans and stakeholders alike. Since taking over the program, he had been tasked with revitalizing the Mountaineers’ football team but struggled to consistently produce winning seasons.

The decision to let Brown go highlights the university’s ambition to enhance its football program and improve performance on the field. The administration will now work to find a new head coach who can lead the team in a new direction and foster a positive environment for both players and fans.

The announcement has sparked conversations among fans and alumni regarding the future of West Virginia football. Many are hopeful that this change could be the catalyst needed to return the program to its former glory, aiming for higher competitive standings in the conference as well as significant bowl game appearances.

As the search for a replacement begins, the university faces the challenge of identifying a candidate who aligns with its vision for the program while also possessing the skills needed to stimulate growth and success within the team.
