ATHENS, W.Va. (WVVA) — After eleven season in Athens, and four as the team’s head coach, Paul Price and the Mountain Lions have parted ways.

Price began his time at Concord as the linebackers coach in 2009. By 2011, he had taken over as the program’s defensive coordinator. Price orchestrated the 2014 Mountain Lion defense that ranked tops in Division II with 22 interceptions. The group’s 32 total takeaways and 23 sacks also ranked first and second in the Mountain East, respectively.

The West Virginia Wesleyan graduate took over as head coach prior to the 2016 season. In four seasons, Price compiled and overall record of 7-37.

“I’d like to thank Paul for his service to the football program, the University and the Athens community,” Concord Director of Athletics Kevin Garrett said in a statement. “And I wish him nothing but the very best in his future endeavors.”

Price took to Twitter to express his thanks to the University on Wednesday.

“I have tendered my resignation as the head football coach at Concord University,” Price typed. “It has been a great decade, everyone I have been associated with has been a joy to work with. I know that we can all be successful in our next endeavor and I look forward to the challenge HAIL AND FAREWELL.”

A national search for a replacement is set to begin immediately.
