WVU Dismisses Defensive Coordinator Jordan Lesley

By Connect-Bridgeport Staff on October 29, 2024

West Virginia University Football Coach Neal Brown has announced that inside linebackers coach Jeff Koonz will replace Jordan Lesley as defensive coordinator for the remainder of the season.
 
Statement from WVU Football Coach Neal Brown:
“I met with Coach Lesley this morning and informed him that we are making a change at the defensive coordinator position. I’m very thankful for the investment Jordan and his family have made in West Virginia football. Jordan has been a key part of my staff for almost a decade. He is a good football coach and a great man. I know he will have much success moving forward, and we will do everything we can to help him on that journey. 
 
“These decisions are never easy, but I’m confident this change is in the best interest of our program and puts us in the best position to finish strong. Our players have a tremendous opportunity in front of them, and I know they will give their all for WVU. Jeff Koonz will step up and serve as the defensive coordinator moving forward. I know he and our entire staff will do everything they can to help us succeed.”
