Coastal Carolina University has named its new head football coach.

“Teal Nation will love Ryan Beard’s energy, work-ethic and passion, and he is the perfect leader for this program. His track record of elevating teams, maximizing talent, and developing student-athletes speaks for itself,” CCU’s athletic director said.
