West Virginia has fired football coach Neal Brown as the Mountaineers continue to flounder in the Big 12. Athletic director Wren Baker announced Brown's firing in a statement Sunday. Brown went 6-6 this season and had an overall record of 37-35 in his six seasons leading the Mountaineers. His teams never competed for a Big 12 championship or were ranked in the AP Top 25 poll. They lost nine consecutive times to ranked opponents. Brown is due to receive a $9.5 million buyout for the last three years of his contract.
