West Virginia fires coach Neal Brown after going 37-35 in six seasons

West Virginia fired football coach Neal Brown on Sunday as the Mountaineers continue to flounder in the Big 12.
Athletic director Wren Baker announced Brown’s firing in a statement. Baker said he wishes Brown and his family “the very best in their next endeavor.”
Brown went 6-6 this season and had an overall record of 37-35 in his six seasons. His teams never competed for a Big 12 championship or were ranked in the AP Top 25 poll. They lost nine consecutive times to ranked opponents.
Brown is due to receive a $9.5 million buyout for the last three years of his contract.
