Coastal Carolina fired head coach Tim Beck on Sunday, ending his three-season tenure, according to On3's Pete Nakos. Beck finished 20-18 after taking over the Chanticleers ahead of the 2023 season, his first college head-coaching role.
The move comes after Coastal Carolina closed the 2025 campaign with back-to-back blowout losses, falling 59-10 at James Madison on Saturday following a 51-7 home defeat to South Carolina. Coastal opened 6-3 but dropped three straight to end the regular season and was outscored 110-17 across its final two games.
“Yeah, it’s hard,” Beck said postgame Saturday, lamenting missed tackles, coverage breakdowns, and formation wrinkles his defense had not previously seen. “It’s a combination of things… they got us.”
Early optimism from his debut season, an 8-5 finish in 2023, faded after a 6-7 record in 2024 that ended with a Myrtle Beach Bowl loss.
Beck hops back into the coaching carousel at the right time. There will be many openings over the next few weeks.
