What will West Virginia's Neal Brown say at Big 12 Media Day? The Mountaineers HC may be on the hot seat if the team doesn't improve

West Virginia football head coach Neal Brown will speak to the press on Thursday at the Big 12 Media Days. The coach is expected to answer questions on the performance of the Mountaineers and how he plans to overturn the situation.

The Mountaineers' 2022 college football season with a disappointing 5-7 record. That marks the third losing season under Brown's four-year tenure. Without a doubt, the former Troy head coach is falling under intense pressure to get things resolved at West Virginia.

Fans of the program have understandably become increasingly frustrated after yet another underwhelming season. To put it mildly, it's safe to say that Neal Brown's first four years at West Virginia have been less than impressive and the Media Day gives everyone the opportunity to address the situation.

Wren Baker drums support for Neal Brown

Wren Baker was appointed as West Virginia University athletic director in November 2022. The former North Texas athletic director is one of the most respected young administrators in college sports.

This offers the dawn of a new era at the Mountaineers program. However, not many were a fan of his first few decisions at the helm: to continue with Neal Brown as head coach of the Mountaineers football team.

A considerable segment of the fanbase expressed their dissatisfaction with the decision. They believed that it was time for a fresh start and to part ways with Brown. A four-year tenure with a 22-25 record is not considered good enough., however, Baker believes Brown has what it takes to turn around the tides of the football team.
