West Virginia head football coach Neal Brown has been extended one year through the 2027 season, West Virginia University announced on Tuesday.
Brown, who has been at WVU since 2019, is coming off his best season in his tenure at WVU which included a 9-4 finish and a victory over North Carolina in the Duke’s Mayo Bowl.
“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.”
The contract extension keeps Brown at WVU for at least the next four seasons, and was agreed upon by Director of Athletics Wren Baker.
“I am pleased with the progress I’ve seen in our football program since arriving last year,” Baker said. “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.”
