Brian Ross hasn’t missed a Troy football game this decade, so he anticipated a time would come when a bigger school hired Neal Brown away.
“We all knew it was coming,” he said. “We probably had him a year longer than I thought we would. I’m happy for him.”
After a stunning, unprecedented run as the Trojans head coach, West Virginia of the Big 12 Conference officially announced Neal Brown as its new head coach. Brown has signed a six-year agreement worth $19.050 million – an average of $3.175 million per year, according to a West Virginia release.
