Ball State Hires Mike Uremovich as New Head Football Coach

Uremovich, who led Butler to historic success, brings extensive coaching experience to revitalize Ball State's program.

Mike Uremovich, former head coach at Butler, has signed a five-year deal to lead Ball State's football program.
Uremovich replaces Mike Neu, who was fired after a 3-7 start to the 2024 season and a nine-year tenure with a 40-63 record.
During his three seasons at Butler, Uremovich achieved a 23-11 record, three consecutive winning seasons, and the first national ranking in program history.
Uremovich's coaching career includes stints at Northern Illinois, Temple, and North Carolina State, with experience in the MAC, ACC, and AAC conferences.
Ball State officials cited Uremovich's Midwest recruiting connections and proven ability to build successful programs as key reasons for his hiring.
