Here is the summary of life under Neal Brown.
WVU was 37-35. The location breakdown is 22-14 at home, 13-20 on the road and 2-1 at neutral locations (those being the three bowl games, so their bowl record was 2-1 also).
Biggest win was 66-0 vs Long Island in 2021.
Biggest conference win was 37-10 vs Kansas State in 2020.
Biggest conference loss was 59-20 vs Oklahoma in 2023.
Biggest non-conference loss was 38-7 vs Missouri in 2019.
Most common margin of victory was 3. WVU was 6-3 in such games, including the 24-21 bowl win over Army in 2020 (which was the only non-conference game with a margin of 3).
Next most common margin of victory was 7. WVU was 4-3 in such games, including the painful 38-31 loss to Pitt in 2022 (as opposed to the painful 38-34 loss to Pitt in 2024).
The smallest margin of victory was the painful 41-39 loss to Houston in 2023. WVU's smallest margin of victory was the aforementioned 3 point wins.
In games decided by 7 points or less WVU was 18-10.
In games decided by 35 points or more WVU was 5-5. But that breaks down to 5-0 in non-conference games (all non-P4 opponents) and 0-5 in conference play.
There was one winning streak of four games and another of three games.
There was one losing streak of five games and three others of three games.
Opponents outscored WVU 1,990 to 1,962.
Sayanora, Neal Brown. He didn't get it done and he got paid a lot of money but I still feel bad for him. In that picture of him on the field from last week I see his son is so young that he probably can't even remember anything other than living in Motown with his Dad as WVU Head Coach. Good luck to Neal and his family.
Time marches on.
