RICHMOND, Va. — Virginia Commonwealth University has fired men's soccer coach Tim O'Sullivan.

The school announced Monday that O'Sullivan's contract is not being renewed after 15 years on the job. A search for a new coach will begin immediately.

O'Sullivan compiled a 148-118-35 record at VCU, but the program has declined since winning three consecutive Colonial Athletic Association titles from 2002-2004. The 2004 team advanced to the Elite Eight of the NCAA Championship.

Last season's team was 5-10-2 overall, 2-8-1 in the CAA.

Before coming to VCU, O'Sullivan registered a 115-108-25 record as the head coach at the University of Richmond.
