just now (398+ words) Nov 30, 2025 " an hour ago Update >>Coastal has now announced Beck has been let go, and defensive coordinator Jeremiah Johnson will serve as interim head coach for the upcoming bowl game. On the heels of a three-game losing streak capping off a 6-6 season, Coastal Carolina is set to part ways with third-year head coach Tim Beck, several sources tell FootballScoop. Bech has positioned the Chanticleers for a third bowl berth in as many seasons, but he's also now just 20-18 overall atop the Conway, South Carolina, program.

Additionally, five of Coastal's six losses were by 38 or more points; the only tight setback was a 45-40 defeat to Clay Helton's scuffling Georgia…...

The UNC head coach, 73, didn't have much to say after the Tar Heels endured a 4219 blowout road loss in their season finale against rival NC State " capping his first year at the helm with three consecutive losses and a brutal 48 record." "Look, the season's just ended a few minutes ago, OK?" Belichick told reporters after the game. "So now we're going to move into the offseason. That's what we're going to do."

1+ min ago (441+ words) Liverpool finally returned to winning ways with a 2-0 victory over West Ham United that ended their damaging slump and delivered the breakthrough Alexander Isak had been waiting for since his record move. The match drifted through long stretches without incident, yet Liverpool will feel no concern about the lack of spectacle after securing their first league win in almost a month. Arne Slot's side had arrived in London with six defeats in their last seven Premier League games and with pressure mounting, but they produced a more stable performance that slowly wore West Ham down. Isak started again as Slot continued to back him despite his difficult introduction to the club, and the forward showed early signs of hunger even as chances were scarce in a slow first half. Alphonse Areola denied him with a sharp block midway through the…...
