Brett Teach is entering his second season at the helm of the Tusculum College men's soccer program. In 2007, Teach inherited a program that suspended play a year prior to his arrival. With only a handful of returnees and a top-notch recruiting class, Teach orchestrated one of the most masterful coaching jobs in school history.

The Pioneers posted an 11-9-2 record against one of the toughest schedules in the nation, facing eight nationally-ranked teams. After opening the year with a 2-5 record through its first seven matches, Tusculum closed out the regular season with an 8-2-2 record, including 5-1-1 worksheet in South Atlantic Conference play to claim the program's second SAC Championship. For his efforts, Teach was named SAC Coach of the Year.

Tusculum advanced to the Food Lion SAC Tournament final, where they lost to eventual NCAA Division II national runner-up Lincoln Memorial. Tusculum's outstanding finish and its strength of schedule earned the Pioneers an at-large bid to the NCAA II Tournament, while hosting the Appalachian Regional at Pioneer Field.

Five of his players earned All-Region honors, while four garnered All-Conference recognition, including SAC Freshman of the Year Lucas Paulini.

Prior to his arrival at Tusculum, Teach spent seven seasons as the head men's soccer coach at Auburn University Montgomery where he led the Senators to the NAIA National Playoffs in each of his seven seasons at AUM.  During his AUM tenure, he posted an impressive 139-21-6 record (.855), including three NAIA National Runner-Up performances (2000, 2001, 2004) and four trips to the NAIA Final Four and five Elite Eight appearances. 

His 2006 squad went 16-4-1 while capturing AUM's eighth straight conference championship and advancing to the NAIA National Tournament, were it lost in the second round. 

In 2005, AUM posted a magical postseason run en route to a 23-2 overall record and a perfect 10-0 mark in the Southern States Athletic Conference (SSAC).

Under his guidance, AUM student-athletes earned a total of 23 All-America honors, including two-time Brine NAIA Men's Soccer Player of the Year Hjortur Hjartarson (2005, 2006) and nine NAIA All-American Scholar selections. Teach was the NSCAA/adidas® NAIA National Coach of the Year in 2000 and was honored as the SSAC Coach of the Year six times (2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2005, 2006).  He was also named Conference All-Sports Male Coach of the Year in 2001 and 2002.
