ranked higher when? Because the current ranking is Clemson #19 and Coastal #16. And if the taters don’t fix their QB situation, they’ve got another 1-2 losses remaining on their schedule. I don’t even know their schedule, but the tater team I saw yesterday will absolutely not beat Wake Forest.
By Monday, Coastal might be the highest ranked team in South Carolina

Didn't know the new ranking came out. But my point still stands about Coastal.
Until if/when they lose, Coastal are a legit top 20 team, and anyone who doesn’t think so hasn’t actually watched a Coastal game in 2020-2021.
how many this year? None. However, they have 20 starters back from a team that went 3-1 vs ranked teams last year. So unless you believe teams with 20 returning starters actually get worse, then common sense would dictate that they are as good or better than last year.
The test for Coastal comes Oct. 20. The top mid-major teams can compete with the major conference teams any day not including about the top 3 in each power conference. And sometimes, they beat them.
UCLA lost to G5 Fresno State a week ago. Utah lost to G 5 San Diego State. Minnesota was a 31 point favorite over G5 Bowling Green, Minnesota lost. Western Michigan beat Pittsburgh.
I looked up who they play Oct 20, App State. Coastal beat App State last year by 11.
It won't be in the SEC. Don't anticipate any coaches getting canned at the end of this year....
the memorable one was BYU at #8
App State and Louisiana were somewhere in the #16-20 range
I believe Liberty was #24
None of those teams, include Coastal, are legit top 25 teams.
funny how it’s always “Sparky Woods and Mike Norvell as prime examples”. Never Nick Saban from Toledo or Urban Meyer from Utah as “prime examples”, right?
id have to go back and read, but I believe I said in either this thread or another one that they BEAT 3 ranked teams. They were 3-1 against ranked teams last year.

Doesn’t matter, Chadwell wasn’t hired, but what is the mindset of not having enough HC experience, particularly at a P5 level, vs. having NONE at any level…….I guess the guy with none used to watch those P5 coaches up close, and get them coffee and stuff…..he definitely missed the time clock management meetings though.
the post was referencing HCs coming from G5 to P5, had nothing to where coaches were assistants. Being an assistant in the NFL isn’t a sign in anyway of being a good P5 HC. Hell, when Moglia was at Coastal, just about his whole staff were former NFL assistants.
While you can find a handful of games that good teams lose to teams like a Coastal Carolina (although it is a stretch to call Pittsburgh or 2-2 Utah good), usually good teams or even merely decent big schools stomp teams like Coastal Carolina when they play.
Look at Louisiana. They go 10-1 last year. Only loss a 3-pt loss to Coastal. Everyone says Napier is a genius. They start the season ranked. They play Texas who has a new coach and new starting qb. Louisiana returns 20 starters from their 10-1 season and there are articles about how this will be their best season ever. Texas wins 38-18 with minimal effort.

So you don’t think being an assistant coach at the highest level of this sport helps prepare you to be a successful head coach? Ok then.
You might point out that every head coach in football was at one time an assistant. I doubt there is any head coach today who wasn't at some point an assistant. I can't think of one. Saban was an asst at seven schools before his first HC job. Belicheck with four teams. Dabo with two. Dan Mullen with seven.
Coastal is legit this year, I went to their game Saturday and although it was against UMass, that was not even a game. No matter who you play in all D1 if you are up 36-0 at the half, you are doing what you have to do. App St will be tough but I will say this and stand by it 100%. You put Coastal in the ACC this year, then they make a run for the Championship game. You can say thats because the ACC stinks, and it does, but Coastal still beats many of those teams. Their offense is hard to stop or even plan for, it is really creative and those guys run it very well.
As for Chadwell, that school has to money to keep him and Coastal may in fact move up to AAC soon and next step if realignment keeps up, then I wouldnt doubt ACC. The school is getting ready to build a multi-million dollar football facility and Moglia is helping them raise money, which he is good at. They are set to keep Chadwell and I hope they do. He and the rest of the staff are truly great guys, aside from just great coaches. I got to go through their facility in early August and meet and talk with the coaches and they were the friendliest group of guys and very down to earth and laid back. The players love them as does support staff. They have a good thing rolling there.
Next year may be a slight rebuilding because they are replacing the whole defense mostly along with o-line. They will have Grayson back at QB as well as several running backs and some receivers. They are recruiting better than many P5 schools right now as well.

I seriously didn't even know UMass still had a team. Their last winning season was 2010. Their best season since then is 4-8. Tomorrow will mark 2 years since they last won a game.
Not to take anything away from Coastal.

You know we played UMASS a few years ago right? We beat them by a whopping 6 pts lol
They at least had bodies wearing uniforms. It was ugly. Their first punt was a snap over punters head that Coastal recovered on 5 yd line and another punt later went over his head again for a safety. The interesting thing is, they have a qb who was a 4 star that transferred from Colorado and they have former UNC defensive backs that transferred there and other P% school transfers. Its a case of being way over rated by recruiting services since Coastal is full of 2 and 3 starts and runs roughshod over those P5 transfers.
Oct 22, 2016: USC 34, UMass 28. You just become a USC fan in the past 5 years?
there absolutely no guarantee whatsoever that being a coach in the NFL will translate to success at the college level. By your logic, Lovie Smith and Dave Wannstedt should’ve been great college coaches right? How’d that work out?
I didn't say that I didn't know we had ever played them. Just said I wasn't even aware they still had a team. I do not follow UMass and they are arguably the worst FBS team in existence, so you can forgive for not being aware of their status.
right, so you meant it as a slight on CCU- a G5 team- for playing them, while not realizing we- a mighty SEC team- also played them a few years ago.
