Neal Brown Receives Contract Extension

WVU head football coach Neal Brown gets a new deal.

Tuesday morning, WVU athletic director Wren Baker announced that head football coach Neal Brown has been given a one-year contract extension, keeping him in Morgantown through 2027.

"I am pleased with the progress I've seen in our football program since arriving last year," Baker said in a press release. "I believe this contract amendment allows us to continue to build on our momentum as we begin our first year in the new and expanded Big 12 Conference. I'm appreciative of the effort Coach Brown and his staff put into developing the young people in our program both on and off the field."

Brown is coming off his best season as the Mountaineer head coach, finishing the 2023 season with a 9-4 record and a fourth place finish in the Big 12 Conference.

"My first priority was retaining and rewarding our assistant coaches and support staff who have played such a critical role in our success," Brown said. "I appreciate Wren's support on that front as well as his continued commitment to me and what we are building. We share a common vision for this program and that alignment is critical to our continued success. There are great things ahead, and I can't wait to see our incredible fans back in Milan Puskar Stadium on August 31."
