At this period he was master of the Royal Grammar School, Guildford,[2] where one of his pupils was George Abbot.On the deprivation of Philip Baker, Goad was recommended as his successor in the office of provost of King's College, Cambridge, by Edmund Grindal, Walter Haddon, and Henry Knollys.As Provost he re-established the college library, instituted numerous educational reforms, and began to examine candidates before admission;[3] he met much opposition from the junior members.[1] He was also chaplain to Ambrose Dudley, 3rd Earl of Warwick, and held the rectory of Milton, Cambridgeshire (which eventually came to King's).He died on 24 April 1610, and was buried in a chantry on the north side of King's College Chapel.
