MUNCIE — It’s been more than 20 years since Mike Neu last threw a pass as Ball State’s quarterback. Now, the Indianapolis native returns as the Cardinals’ 17th head football coach.
Ball State on Thursday announced the hiring of Neu, 45, who spent the past two seasons as New Orleans Saints’ quarterbacks coach. After completing his career in 1993 as the Cardinals' all-time leading passer with 6,221 yards and 43 touchdown passes, he went on to play three seasons professionally.
“We are delighted that Mike has agreed to become our head football coach,” Ball State athletic director Mark Sandy said in a press release.
