WVU begins the search for a new head football coach

The search for West Virginia’s next football coach is already underway. West Virginia Athletic Director Wren Baker said during a news conference that he, along with a search firm, have already cast a wide net as they begin to look for a new head football coach. The timeline of the hiring process will largely depend on coach availabilities as some may potentially be coaching in championship and bowl games. Baker said the search is also not limited to just head coaches. Assistant coaches who are still under contract at WVU will remain while the hiring process plays out.
