    Andy Fleming Departing

    It was announced today that Xavier Head Men’s Soccer Coach Andy Fleming is stepping away by his own choice after 12 years.
    Andy has done a fantastic job building Xavier into a damn good Soccer school. He will be missed.
    Greg Christopher had better get this selection correct.
    This is big for the success of a fall program that students have fallen in love with.
    Good luck to all!

    I read the presser a little bit differently. Sort of sounded like he was leaving his dream job and it was a "mutual" decision. You know how those happen.

    Regardless, a big loss for Xavier soccer. Good luck to Andy and his family!

    If he is being “asked to leave” that engenders zero confidence in the Administration overseeing Xavier Athletics.

    The way I read it is that he’s just burnt out and needs a long break. Wants to spend more time with his family and loving life. Good for him.

    Thanks coach, you’ve been great for the soccer program and for X.

    Man, not bragging here, or demeaning Andy, but how did I work full time for 45 years with 3 weeks vacation a year?
    That includes traveling every week too.
    Good luck Andy!

    Same here 42 years on the road every week. Some thrive, some get burnt out. Don't follow soccer but sounds like he did a good job.
