Coastal Carolina’s Bold Move: Why Missouri State’s Ryan Beard Could Be the Game-Changer They’ve Been Waiting For
So, Coastal Carolina football just hit the reset button after the 2025 season, waving goodbye to Tim Beck and ushering in a fresh, new era with Ryan Beard — their fourth head coach ever. Now, here’s the twist: Beard’s not your usual flashy offensive guru; he’s a defensive whiz plucked straight from Missouri State, where he proved he can turn a fledgling FCS program into a winner right out of the gate. Makes you wonder — can this defensive mastermind reignite the Chanticleers and steer them back toward Sun Belt prominence? Fans are buzzing, hopeful that Beard’s blueprint might just be what this teal turf team needs after mixed results under Beck. Ready to see if Beard can channel the magic of Jamey Chadwell’s glory days? Let’s dive in and see what the future holds. LEARN MORE
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.
Coastal Carolina luring defensive-minded coach out of Missouri State
Beard becomes the opposite of Beck in his arrival to the famed teal turf. He brings more of a defensive acumen.
The 36-year-old previously served as defensive coordinator and safeties coach at Missouri State from 2020 to 2022. He’s also coached defensive backs at Western Kentucky. But Louisville (2017 to 2018) and Central Michigan (2019) represent his past FBS coaching experience.
Beard’s first Bears team went 4-7 but since pulled off two winning seasons — including the 7-5 mark of this season. Missouri State also went 5-3 in the Missouri Valley Conference.
He’ll aim to re-galvanize a program that went 20-18 under Beck. The previous leader of the Chanticleers delivered mixed results — including losing beloved quarterback Grayson McCall to the College Football Transfer Portal.
CC fans will hope Beard can deliver similar results from the Jamey Chadwell era — who delivered two 11-win campaigns at Conway, South Carolina.
