TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Bethune-Cookman University on Tuesday announced the departure of the Wildcat Football program's head football coach Terry Sims.
Following seven seasons at B-CU, Sims concludes his Wildcats career with a 38-39 record overall, having had four winning seasons.
"Discussions about the progress and future of our football program eventually led us to the point where I felt it was best for us to move in a different direction," said Athletic Director Reggie Theus. "We sincerely appreciate Coach Sims’ service to the University and wish him the best."
In 2015, Sims was named Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference Coach of the Year. In 2018, a 31-27 victory in the annual Florida Classic marked B-CU's ninth consecutive win over Florida A&M University and Sims’ fifth straight in as many tries.
A national search for a new head football coach will begin immediately, Theus said.
