West Virginia Mountaineers Set for Frisco Bowl

West Virginia University's athletic director Wren Baker is in the midst of a coaching search to replace Neal Brown, emphasizing integrity as a key criterion for the next head coach. Reports indicating Jimbo Fisher is out of the running are deemed premature, with insiders suggesting he remains a favorite alongside Rich Rodriguez, who has strong local support. Meanwhile, the Mountaineers prepare for the Scooter's Coffee Frisco Bowl against the 25th-ranked Memphis Tigers on December 17, with running backs coach Chad Scott serving as interim head coach. Baker has stated he will approach the search thoroughly, considering advice from former players and coaches, while also acknowledging the importance of having ties to West Virginia. The urgency of the search is heightened due to the upcoming National Signing Day and the opening of the transfer portal. Baker's commitment to involving the community and making informed decisions has generated optimism about the future of the football program.
