The Ball State Cardinals have fired head football coach Mike Neu on Saturday morning. He had been there for parts of nine seasons.
This season, Neu guided the Cardinals to a 3-7 record. An interim head coach will be named by the school for their final two games.
The interim head coach will lead the team at home on Saturday, November 23rd against the Bowling Green State Falcons. Their season will conclude on the road on Black Friday against the Ohio Bobcats on November 29th.
The 53 year old was 40-63 at his alma mater. He only had one winning record at the school.
In 2020, Neu guided the Cardinals to the Mid American Conference championship. They went 7-1 that season.
That season, the team lost their season-opener to the Miami (Ohio) RedHawks 38-31. Then they went on a six game win streak against conference foes.
They won the MAC Championship over the Buffalo Bills 38-28 on December 18th, 2020. After their MAC Championship, they went on to win a bowl game against the then-No. 22 San Jose State Spartans 34-13 on New Year’s Eve in the Arizona Bowl.
Since the 2020 season, the Cardinals have gone 18-29.
