The University of Tennessee has launched a search for a new head soccer coach following the departure of Joe Kirt, according to a report by Cora Hall of the Knoxville News Sentinel. The program is evaluating five potential candidates to lead the Volunteers women's soccer team.
Kirt's exit opens a new chapter for Tennessee soccer, which competes in the Southeastern Conference. The search committee is expected to prioritize candidates with proven recruiting success in the region and experience at the Power Five conference level.
Hall's report indicates the university aims to move quickly to secure a replacement before the upcoming recruiting cycle intensifies. The next head coach will inherit a program that has shown flashes of competitiveness but seeks consistent NCAA tournament appearances.
