West Virginia Parts Ways With Football Coach Neal Brown

West Virginia University has dismissed football coach Neal Brown following a challenging season in the Big 12 conference. Athletic director Wren Baker announced the decision on Sunday and expressed well-wishes for Brown's future endeavors. Despite moderate success with a 6-6 record this season, Brown's overall tenure ended with a 37-35 record after six seasons.

Under Brown's leadership, the Mountaineers failed to vie for a Big 12 championship and consistently fell short against highly ranked teams, with nine consecutive losses to ranked opponents. Brown will receive a $9.5 million buyout for the remaining three years on his contract. (This story was generated by Newser's AI chatbot. Source: the AP)
