DeCesare resigns as CCU women's soccer coach
Tammy DeCesare has resigned as Coastal Carolina�s women�s soccer coach after one season to pursue other opportunities, she said Tuesday.

DeCesare, who led the Chanticleers to a 10-8-2 overall record and a 6-2-1 Big South mark to finish in a five-way tie atop the conference standings in her lone season at the school, said that while the move comes unexpectedly, it was simply a matter of timing.

While her next coaching position is not yet official, she wanted to give the university ample time to find her replacement.

�I can�t speak highly enough of what they�ve got going on here and how great an opportunity it was,� DeCesare said in a phone interview with The Sun News. �I didn�t plan it to be this short-lived.�

DeCesare arrived in Conway after five seasons at Western Carolina. Since the season ended, she has become a candidate for an unspecified open position (or positions) elsewhere in the country. Though nothing is official yet, she plans to continue coaching Division I soccer next year and felt the opportunity was too good to pass up at this time.

�I�ve been ever appreciative,� she said of CCU. �It�s been a whirlwind of a year and a rollercoaster of a season. When certain things come your way, you�ve got to take a hard look at those things and where you want to go in your career.

�Coastal�s been great to me, and [athletic director Hunter Yurachek] and everybody here have been fantastic. The people here are wonderful, and I can definitely see the potential in Coastal. It�s just a matter of kind of doing the right thing by good people. I owe them a lot and had a great opportunity to do something awesome in a short time here.�

Yurachek said he was not caught off guard by the development.

�Not terribly surprised. Sometimes when you�re a coach, administrator, or student athlete, maybe you�re not the best fit for that [school],� he said. �I think there was a little bit of that for Tammy, and I think some opportunities presented themselves outside of our institution that she wanted to pursue.�

Coastal Carolina has already begun its coaching search, Yurachek said.

�We started our search immediately. We hope to have our new women�s soccer coach in place when our girls return for the spring semester,� he said. �We�d like to get some potential candidates on campus prior to the team leaving for winter break because we�d like for them to be involved in the process, have a chance to meet those candidates and get their feedback. We�re going to move fairly quickly.�
