Neal Brown is not off the hot seat, but the Danville native and former Kentucky Wildcat appears to have a job at West Virginia for at least one more season.

Two weeks ago many across the college football world were shocked when West Virginia fired athletic director Shane Lyons. Occurring in the middle of a 5-win football season, it was an ominous omen for Neal Brown, who was hired by Lyons as the Mountaineers’ head coach in 2019.

Today West Virginia hired former North Texas AD Wren Baker. Sports Illustrated’s Ross Dellenger reports Baker will retain Brown, for now.
