Moglia Steps Down and Gives the Reins to Chadwell CCU Executes Succession Plan for the Football Program Coastal Carolina Moglia Steps Down and Gives the Reins to Chadwell CCU executes succession plan for the football program From Joe Moglia: To my players and staff, family and friends, and all of you who have been part of Coastal Carolina football, I can’t thank you enough for all the love, support and dedication that you have given to me, my family and the Coastal Carolina football family over the last seven years. I wish I had the opportunity to speak with so many of you before this announcement, but it just wasn’t possible. The 2018 season was my 25th as a football coach and I am proud and grateful for the career I’ve had, especially the last six and seven years as part of Coastal. I have decided to step down as the head coach of the football program and, as part of the succession plan that I, President David A. DeCenzo and Director of Athletics Matt Hogue believe is best for the program, to turn that responsibility over to Jamey Chadwell. Let me explain why. While we were all disappointed in the latter part of last season, we still exceeded the expectations of what anyone predicted in the preseason. Our 2018 team was one of the youngest in the nation, we had a significant scholarship deficit to our competition, and we had six new coaches working together for the first time. In the 2019 season, we’ll still be young, but far more experienced. We will be much closer to 80 scholarships, and our staff has experience working together as a whole. We all believe that the future is bright for Coastal Carolina football. We also have tremendous confidence in Coach Chadwell as well as the rest of the staff. By the time the 2021 season rolls around, we will have recruited five years of FBS talent and we will and should be expected to be very competitive week in and week out. While my contract continues through the next two seasons, I believe that it is truly in the best interest of our program for Coach Chadwell to have the responsibility now so that he and the staff can focus on the next two seasons and be ready to go in the future. Our succession plan has been well thought out. I will stay on for the duration of my contract (June 2021) as Chairman of Athletics and will still have executive authority for football. Coach Chadwell will report to me and I will report to Dr. DeCenzo. I will do all I can to provide support to the program. Matt [Hogue] will continue as the Director of Athletics and has responsibility for everything else within the athletics department and administrative responsibilities for football. I am so proud of what we have done at Coastal and will always be grateful to Dr. DeCenzo, Wyatt Henderson and Gene Spivey for believing in me enough to give me the opportunity here at Coastal Carolina. I am also so appreciative of the support I have received from all of you, fully recognizing there was some controversy about my arrival in 2012 and that there were those who weren’t comfortable with me. I hope most of you feel differently today, and I thank you for being open-minded enough to give me a chance. I hope you would extend the same courtesy to Coach Chadwell and give him the opportunity he needs to coach the Chanticleers. And of course, we never would have accomplished what we have without the hard work and commitment of our student-athletes and staff, both past and present. From the bottom of my heart, I thank you. I love and will always be a part of this great University. BAM! Coastal Carolina Statement from David A. DeCenzo, Ph.D. -- Coastal Carolina University President “On behalf of the Coastal Carolina University family I want to thank Joe Moglia for all he has done not only to transform our football program, but for his support of the University. Joe is one of those individuals who bring such great talent and success to everything he’s touched. He’s taken us to a level that years ago was simply a dream. He leaves the coaching ranks with all the well-deserved accolades; and leaves a Coastal football legacy that is poised for even better accomplishments. Thank you Joe for your inspiration, hard work, and for your love of this special place called the Teal Nation. We are all in a better place since you became a Chanticleer.” Statement from Matt Hogue -- Coastal Carolina University Director of Athletics “Coach Moglia’s leadership of our football program has left a remarkable legacy on Coastal Carolina University and Chanticleer Athletics. The national success achieved by his program both on and off the field and his innovative strategies have brought tremendous recognition to the University and helped strengthen the brand of our institution. We are grateful to Joe for this legacy and look forward to his continuing contributions to CCU in his other leadership roles.” Statement from Jamey Chadwell -- Coastal Carolina University Football Head Coach “I was saddened when Coach Moglia informed me that he was going to step down as our head coach. He is an incredible mentor to not only me but also for all of the young men in our football program, past and present, and has helped develop countless student-athletes that have gone on to great success in life after football. I want to thank Coach Moglia, Dr. DeCenzo and Matt [Hogue] for this great opportunity and their support in me as the next head coach of the Coastal Carolina football program. I am excited to build on the great foundation that Coach Moglia has put in place here as we continue to move forward in becoming one of the best programs in the Sun Belt.” Coastal Carolina FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Friday, January 18, 2019 Moglia Steps Down and Gives the Reins to Chadwell CCU executes succession plan for the football program Joe Moglia A five-time National Coach of the Year finalist and the 2015 Eddie Robinson FCS National Coach of the Year Award winner, Head Coach and Executive Director for Football Joe Moglia made an immediate impact upon his arrival at Coastal Carolina prior to the 2012 season. In six seasons (2012-16, ’18) on the sidelines at Coastal, Moglia posted an overall record of 56-22. After a 29-28 overall record, including going just 1-9 versus the two best teams in the Big South, over the five years prior to Moglia, the Chanticleers went a combined 51-15 over his first five years at the helm of the program, including winning four conference champion- ships (2012, 2013, 2014 and 2016*) and qualifying for the NCAA Football Championship Playoffs all five seasons. During that span, the Chanticleers finished each year ranked in the top 25 nationally and ranked as high as the No. 1 team in the coun- try in both 2014 and 2015. CCU also won the program’s first-ever postseason game in 2012, won a league-record 12 games and reached the NCAA quarterfinals in 2013, and went on to match both those feats the following season in 2014. The Chants were ranked No. 1 in the FCS for eight straight weeks in 2015 and went on to go 10-2 in 2016, their first year in transition to the FBS level. Moglia was named the Big South Conference Coach of the Year twice and the 2014 AFCA Regional Coach of the Year. He was twice named a finalist for the Liberty Mutual FCS National Coach of the Year and was a three-time Eddie Robinson FCS National Coach of the Year finalist before winning the award as the nation’s best coach in 2015. A 2017 inductee into the Vince Lombardi Hall of Fame and a recipient of the Vince Lombardi Hall of Fame Award for his career, he was also awarded the 2015 South Carolina Football Hall of Fame Humanitarian award. He coached five Walter Payton/FCS National Offensive Player of the Year finalists, four Buck Buchanan/FCS National Defensive Player of the year finalists, 33 All-Americans, and the 2014 FCS Athletic Director’s Association Top Collegiate Linebacker in Quinn Backus. While Moglia is like most coaches in putting a true emphasis on the three phases of the game - offense, defense, and special teams, his outside-the-box thinking on how to achieve this goal with his staff is visionary. On that level, he has just one standard “Be A Man” — better known as “BAM” —where his student-athletes are expected to “stand on their own two feet, take responsibility for their actions, always treat others with dignity and respect, and recognize they will live with the consequences of their actions”. Niccolo Mastromatteo received the 2013 National Football Foundation National Scholar-Athlete Award and was a post-graduate schol- arship recipient, Alex Ross was named 2015 CoSIDA Division I Academic All-America, while 10 players earned CoSIDA Academic All-District honors and 14 received a spot on the National Football Foundation Hampshire Honor Society under Moglia. In 2017, Coach Moglia’s program was recognized, along with Northwestern, by the National Football Foundation & College Hall of Fame with the most graduates of any school nationally with18 players seeking a second degree. Over his tenure, he has had almost 50 players pursuing graduate studies while still eligible. Moglia has been a football coach for 25 years, but it’s not a traditional 25 years. He began his career as a coach for 16 years, moved to the business world for over 20, and back to coaching in 2009.

In other words, a massive understatement.
