Chad Scott Interim Coach at WVU Football

West Virginia University has appointed Chad Scott as the interim head coach for the Mountaineers football team following the firing of Neal Brown, who had a 37-35 record over six seasons. Scott, who joined WVU's coaching staff in 2019, has been instrumental in transforming the team's rushing offense into one of the most productive in the nation, leading Power Five schools with 2,976 rushing yards in 2023, with players like freshman Jahiem White flourishing under his guidance. Scott's extensive coaching experience includes roles at North Carolina, Kentucky, Texas Tech, and Troy. The Mountaineers are preparing for an upcoming bowl game, with Scott expected to lead them through this transition period. The university is actively searching for a permanent head coach, but no timeline has been announced for this decision.
