Neal Brown will be the next head coach at North Texas

Former Kentucky wide receiver and offensive coordinator Neal Brown did not have to wait long to be a head coach again. The 45-year-old will be the leader of a college football program again in 2026.

The Danville (Ky.) Boyle County alum will replace Eric Morris at North Texas after the former Texas Tech wide receiver agreed to become the next head coach at Oklahoma State.

“We are thrilled to welcome Neal Brown as our next head football coach,” UNT vice president and director of athletics Jared Mosley said.
