Coastal Carolina football moved away from Tim Beck following the 2025 season . The Chanticleers have now found their fourth-ever head coach in program history — plucking Ryan Beard from Missouri State.

Beard surfaced as Beck's replacement Thursday with Matt Zenitz and Chris Hummer of CBS Sports reporting the move . “Led by the 36-year old Beard, Missouri State — in its first year as an FBS program — is 7-3 this season against non-Power Four opponents,” Zenitz posted on the social media website X, formerly Twitter. The latter mark should intrigue Coastal Carolina fans. Beard proved he could take a Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) program and win out the gate. He'll aim to reignite a program that once appeared to be on its way of becoming a Sun Belt Conference power.
