Anthony Becht Considered for WVU Head Coach Role

Anthony Becht, head coach of the St. Louis Battlehawks, is being considered for the West Virginia University (WVU) head football coach position after the university parted ways with Neal Brown. Becht has expressed interest in expanding his career into college football, having already interviewed for the position, amidst reports of his growing reputation with the Battlehawks in the United Football League. WVU Athletic Director Wren Baker is navigating a complex coaching search influenced by university demands and booster opinions, having even consulted with Nick Saban for insights. Becht, a recent inductee into the University of West Virginia's Hall of Fame, is seen as a potential candidate to restore WVU's football program to its former glory. Other candidates for the WVU position include Jon Sumrall and Rich Rodriguez, with the latter gaining momentum due to support from donors. The decision on WVU's next head coach is expected soon, with Becht's potential hiring being a significant development.
