Butler men's soccer head coach Paul Snape has announced his resignation, effective immediately (Friday, Nov. 14).
 
"Over his 15 years at Butler, Paul has represented our university extremely well, leading a program that exemplified The Butler Way," said Butler Vice President/Director of Athletics Grant Leiendecker. "Paul coached several of the most successful teams in program history, highlighted by players who earned national and conference recognition under his mentorship. On behalf of all Bulldogs, we thank Paul for the positive impact he had on the Butler community, and we wish the Snape Family the very best in the future."  
 
Snape recently completed his 15^th season as the head coach at Butler. Compiling an overall record of 113-112-45, he owns the most wins in program history. Snape led the Bulldogs to the NCAA Tournament on three occasions (2016, 2017, 2019) with the 2017 team advancing to the Round of 16. Snape was named the 2017 BIG EAST Coach of the Year after the Bulldogs won the regular season BIG EAST title. Butler won the 2016 BIG EAST Tournament. Snape arrived at Butler in 2011, which was the program's final season as a member of the Horizon League. After a single season in the Atlantic 10 (2012), Butler joined the BIG EAST.
 
Butler will begin a national search to identify the next leader of the program. Elevate College & Talent will assist Butler throughout the process.
