Chad Webb Position: Head Coach Experience: First Season

Chad Webb was introduced as the second head women's soccer coach in program history on January 13, 2010 as the duties of men's and women's head coach were split due to the recent success of both programs. Webb was previously an assistant to Butch Lauffer for 14 season, after a tremendous four year career as a Buffalo in the mid 90's.

For the past 13 of his 14 seasons at WTAMU, Webb has been an assistant coach with the women's soccer program, where his main responsibilities have revolved around the everyday operations and coaching of the program. He handles the bulk of the recruiting duties for the Lady Buffs, while also assisting with the Buffalo men's team, as well.

The Lady Buffs enjoyed a very successful 2009 campaign, as they advanced to the Elite Eight for the first time in school history and recorded a 15-3-4 overall record. WT hosted both the LSC Tournament and NCAA Preliminary Rounds for the second consecutive season and won its second-consecutive LSC regular-season championship, as well as winning the NCAA South Central Region Championship.

The Lady Buffs have won either the Lone Star Conference regular-season or LSC Tournament title nine times since 1997. They won both titles in 2001 and 2008. And, during 2001, the Lady Buffs made their first-ever NCAA Division-II National Tournament appearance.

Following a brilliant four-year playing career with the Buffs, Webb served one season as a student assistant under Butch Lauffer before serving another four seasons as a graduate assistant. During his playing career with the Buffaloes, from 1992-1995, Webb scored 10 goals and provided 20 assists while also serving as the Buffs' captain. As a junior, he earned a berth on the second-team Adidas all-West Region Academic list.

Webb, a native of Lubbock, Texas, holds a USSF "A" license, has been active in the community as a club coach with the High Plains Drifters and enjoys developing youth soccer talent in the Texas Panhandle. He conducts many soccer camps and clinics throughout the area each year, and, in 2002, was named Coach of the Year for the North Texas State Soccer Association.

He earned both his bachelor's (1998) and master's (2002) degrees in Mass Communication from WTAMU.

Webb lives in Amarillo with his wife, Joy, their two children, Autumn and Samuel, along with their many dogs.
