Neal Brown is most likely on the outs as the head coach of the West Virginia Mountaineers, and here are four names that could replace him at his position.
The West Virginia Mountaineers are 3-4 in head coach Neal Brown’s sixth year at the school. This is well below the expectations the Mountaineers had for the former Troy Trojans coach that led the group of five program to three straight double digit win seasons in his last three years at the school.
Brown’s overall record for the Trojans after four years at the helm in Troy, Alabama was an impressive 55-16. So far as the head coach of the Mountaineers, he Is only 34-33. Brown was hired by the Mountaineers ahead of the 2019 season after they parted ways with previous head coach, Dana Holgorsen. Holgorsen went 61-41 in eight years with the Mountaineers, which is a winning percentage much higher than that of Brown.
With Brown only a whisker above a .500 winning percentage during his time with the school, there is a strong possibility he will be let go at the end of the season, if not before its conclusion. The question will then become who is the next coach up in Morgantown, so I share some that I think have potential to take the job.
