Texas football looks to add Neal Brown to talented coaching staff
After bringing in one of Brown’s colleagues Chad Scott to the staff as running backs coach this offseason, Texas football is continuing to pursue WVU for more help behind Sarkisian.
Brown has matched up against Sarkisian in the past, recording a win for his Mountaineers squad 31-23 in 2021.
Brown has gone 72-51 as a Division I head coach, and clearly Sarkisian has taken a liking to what his former rival can bring to the program. It’ll be interesting what his role becomes if and when the Longhorns’ program delivers on this hire.
