John O'Reilly was named the 12th Head Coach in Green Bay men's soccer program history on February 2, 2024. He proceeds Jeremy Bonomo, who was at the helm from 2015-2023. O'Reilly spent the first eight years of Bonomo's tenure as Assistant Coach before being elevated to Associate Head Coach during the 2023 offseason. O'Reilly was part of the coaching staff that guided Green Bay to a Horizon League Tournament Championship in 2023, also marking the first NCAA Tournament appearance for the Phoenix since 2009.

In 2017, he helped Green Bay to one of its best seasons in program history, securing the team's first-ever Horizon League regular season championship. The Phoenix finished 7-1-1 in the nine-game conference season and won the league by three points.

In 2013, O'Reilly helped the Hoyas win the program's fourth Big East Regular Season Championship, advanced to the semifinals of the Big East Championship, and spent the entire season in the national rankings. The squad set a new program record in shutouts with 12 and led the country in shutout percentage (0.67) as well as ranking second in save percentage (0.884) and team GAA (0.46). Individually, the Hoyas had two All-Americans, Steve Neumann and Brandon Allen. Neumann went on to be the No. 4 overall draft pick in the Major League Soccer SuperDraft and classmate Joey Dillon followed in the third round. In the Big East, the team garnered five All-Big East honors and had the Offensive, Midfielder, and Goalkeeper of the Year as well as the Big East Coaching Staff of the Year.

While being an assistant coach and the recruiting director at Babson, the Beavers posted a record of 60-17-10 while winning a pair of NEWMAC titles and receiving four-consecutive NCAA Tournament berths including trips to the Sweet 16 in 2010 and 2011.
