Anthony Becht Interviews for West Virginia Coaching Job

Former NFL tight end Anthony Becht has interviewed for the vacant head coaching position at West Virginia University, a role left open following the dismissal of Neal Brown. Becht, who played at West Virginia from 1996-1999 and was recently inducted into the WVU Sports Hall of Fame, is currently the head coach of the United Football League’s St. Louis Battlehawks, where he has a 7-3 record.

The search for a new head coach at WVU includes other candidates like former coach Rich Rodriguez and Penn State's Andy Kotelnicki. Becht has also received interest from NFL teams, highlighting his growing coaching credentials. His potential hiring could resonate positively with West Virginia fans due to his local roots and coaching success.
