Troy head football coach Neal Brown has accepted a deal to be West Virginia’s head football coach, according to Pete Thamel of Yahoo Sports.
Brown has agreed in principle to become the Mountaineers’ next head coach and will receive a six-year deal, according to Stadium Network’s Brett McMurphy.
Brown was 35-16 in four seasons as the Trojans’ head coach. In the last three seasons, Brown achieved a 31-8 record, including a bowl win in each season.
In 2016, the team started 8-1, and the Trojans became the first Sun Belt team ever to be ranked in the top 25 by the Associated Press.
