New Orleans Saints QB coach Mike Neu has been named the new Ball State head coach, the school announced Thursday.

A source told FOX Sports Wednesday that Neu was expected to fill the role for the Cardinals.

The 45-year-old Neu is an Indianapolis native and a former Ball State QB. He has head coaching experience having led two Arena League teams. He will replace Pete Lembo, who stepped down to take a job on the Maryland staff last month.
