"It has been an honor and a privilege to have had the opportunity to coach outstanding young scholar-athletes here at my alma mater for 14 years," Flannery said at a news conference Friday. "I am grateful to my wife and children for the support they have given me throughout this time. With them in mind and after much reflection, I have decided it is time to move on to a new phase in my life."

School officials said he will assume a new fundraising position within the university.
