According to MetroNews, West Virginia has settled on Troy’s Neal Brown as its new football coach, and athletics director Shane Lyons was working Friday to finalize contract details.
The school has informed Cincinnati coach Luke Fickell of its decision. Fickell and Brown interviewed for the vacancy this week, as did current West Virginia defensive coordinator Tony Gibson.
University sources said Brown’s hiring wasn’t yet official Friday, but Lyons was excited to land one of the top coaches at the Group of Five level.
He replaces Dana Holgorsen, whose eight-year tenure ended Wednesday when he left for Houston.
