MUNCIE, Ind. – Ball State University has announced today a change in football leadership, with Mike Neu ending his nine-year term as the Cardinals' head coach, following a 3-7 start to the 2024 season.
Director of Athletics Jeff Mitchell also announced that offensive line coach Colin Johnson will serve as interim head coach for Ball State's two remaining contests this season, including next Saturday's final home game against Bowling Green. Johnson, like Neu, is a Ball State football alum.
A national search for the next Ball State head football coach will begin immediately.
"Coach Neu has poured his heart into the Ball State football program," said Mitchell.
