Neptune’s coaching career began under Wright in 2008, serving as a video coordinator for the Wildcats. He was also on staff for Villanova’s 2009 Final Four appearance before leaving for an assistant coaching job at Niagara for three seasons. Neptune came back to Villanova in 2013 and served as an assistant on Wright’s staff before being named Fordham’s head coach in 2021. Fordham finished 16-16 in Neptune’s lone season as head coach.“When looking for a successor, we wanted a candidate who could navigate the changing landscape of collegiate athletics and keep Villanova in a position of strength—now and in the future,” Villanova President Rev. Peter Donahue and Director of Athletics Mark Jackson said in a joint statement.
