Pat McAfee on Fire Neal Brown Billboards: ‘Take Them Dahn’
Pat McAfee had to weigh in on WVU returning from a road win in Arizona to seeing “Fire Neal Brown” billboards popping up around town. And while McAfee gets the frustration, he’s telling fans to take them down in a way only he could.
“There is West Virginia overreaction. Take it dahn. Take it dahn,” said McAfee in a language common in nearby Western Pennsylvania.
“The West Virginia people have had it. Billboard in your own town is tough. That’s tough stuff,” McAfee added during a segment on Monday’s Pat McAfee Show.

WVU fans may have failed at flying their message over Milan Puskar Stadium, but all anyone will have to do is simply drive around town to know what Mountaineer Nation thinks of Neal Brown.
There are billboards running a “Fire Neal Brown” message around Morgantown. This ad will apparently run throughout the next month.
Fans Advertise Their Desire for WVU to Fire Neal Brown on Billboards
These billboards are located at the Mileground, on Don Knotts Blvd. and Stewartstown Rd.
It’s no secret there are plenty of WVU fans who want Brown fired. However, it’s one thing to voice displeasure on social media, but it’s another to actually put your money where your mouth is on the topic. And now this ad on billboards can be added to a website dedicated to the goal of pressuring WVU to remove Brown.
WVU fans started a website “FireNealBrown.org” dedicated to removing Brown as head coach.
The site features Brown’s record and negative facts about his tenure at WVU while also allowing people to donate money to the Mountaineer Athletic Club with the hope it goes towards paying Brown’s buyout.
Brown’s Mountaineers currently sit at 4-4 (3-2, Big 12) during their final bye week of the season. Regardless of the roller coaster ride of the 2024 seasons, fans also point to Brown’s 35-33 overall record at WVU and his 3-17 mark against ranked opponents as why they want the program to turn the page from Brown in his sixth year in West Virginia.
For a related story, WVU head coach Neal Brown was fired up in support of his team after their win over Arizona.

i understand your frustration, i’m in that camp too.. but the billboards are bad for the school, bad for the team, bad for wvu fans,,, and especially recruits coming into town and seeing this junk all over the place,, and most important, the donors,, this could very well restrict what they may donate to the wvu athletic dept… now their money may not be directed at any sport but it could cause problems for soccer , men’s and women’s basketball.baseball,,, these signs could do more damage to the overall sports programs than you may realize or want.. this is very bad, please take the billboards down asap,, especially before out next home football game, it will have an terrible negative effect on signing recruits who may be invited in for sports other than football,, you just don’t realize the damage you may cause.
