Texas Hires Neal Brown Amid Staff Changes

The Texas Longhorns have hired former West Virginia head coach Neal Brown for a yet-to-be-determined role on their coaching staff. Brown, who has a career record of 72-51 as a head coach, was let go by West Virginia after a 6-6 season. His hiring comes amidst significant staff changes for the Longhorns, which includes the addition of Chad Scott as running backs coach, a position he also held at West Virginia. Meanwhile, West Virginia has appointed Larry Porter, a seasoned coach with significant experience across major conferences, to replace Scott. Porter's previous tenure was at the University of North Carolina, where he served as the running backs coach and special teams coordinator. These coaching changes reflect strategic personnel shifts at both Texas and West Virginia, aimed at strengthening their respective football programs.
