West Virginia University and their head football coach Neal Brown, agreed on a 1-year contract extension. This new deal runs through the 2027 season. This brought a mixed reaction from Mountaineer Nation, some folks were asking what has Coach Brown done to deserve this, and others were happy. Experts are saying this is a win for West Virginia, and most would tend to agree because when he arrived in 2019, he did not have a very good roster to work with, but through recruiting, and the transfer portal we are finally seeing what Neal Brown can do with a team he developed.
