Mitch is already one of the highest (if not the highest) paid AD in the country. Hence why he’s still here.
Brown got a big win at home Sat vs a slumping Oklahoma team, might have bought him some time. Doubt they dump him with no AD in place.
BTW, with OCs on everybody's mind...Brown's OC is Graham Harrell, Leach QB at Texas Tech and one time OC at the real USC prior to being fired there last year.

Food for thought: Sonny Dykes was a disaster at Cal. Now look at what he’s doing at TCU.
If Brown gets the axe (and I’m pretty sure he will) I wouldn’t automatically assume he’ll never be successful at another P5 job. Sometimes, for a variety of reasons, things just don’t work out and it has zero to do with actual ability.

Bobby Bowden would beg to differ...actually at WVU as well...got run out of town to FSU, and the rest is history...
I don't think he got run out of town. He was 9-3 and won the Peach Bowl his last year at WVU.
As soon as the announcement was made yesterday on the firing of the West Virginia AD, Brown got up from his chair, took a massive dump (maybe in his pants), then started updating the resume and called the wife and told her to find the movie "Dead Man Walking" so he could watch it after practice and see if he can take any lessons.Lyons out as West Virginia AD amid struggles

Dykes had past experience at UK. Don't know if he was a legit candidate but his name was one of many kicked around.
Frank Giardina: Bobby Bowden never held a grudge for how WVU fans treated him
For many of us, this is a sad time in college football. At the age of 91, former WVU and Florida State head football coach, Bobby Bowden, is in the
The year before he had a losing season.
At one point they burned him in effigy in front of his children. He talked about this in a documentary on his life. He said he left for FSU because “once they turn on you you don’t owe them a darn thing “
He was 42-26 at WV with 5 winning seasons in 6 years….if they actually “turned on” BB, they deserve perpetual mediocrity.
Careful.
That is worse than Stoops’ record the last 6 years. (47-27).
And many have turned on him, here.
