Texas Seeks Former WVU Coach Neal Brown for Staff Role

Neal Brown, the former head coach of West Virginia, is in discussions to join the coaching staff at the University of Texas, following his dismissal after a 6-6 season. While his exact role has not been finalized, reports indicate that Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian is interested in adding him for the 2025 season. Brown previously enjoyed success at Troy, leading the team to a Sun Belt championship and a 35-16 record before moving to West Virginia. The potential hiring comes as Texas aims to bolster its coaching staff ahead of upcoming spring practices. Additionally, Brown's financial situation is complicated by remaining salary obligations from West Virginia, which could adjust based on his new contract at Texas. His return to the SEC landscape is notable, especially with Texas set to visit Kentucky in October 2025.
