well, they play Carolina one of those years too, speaking of conference cellar dwellers and all.
By Monday, Coastal might be the highest ranked team in South Carolina

lol, they are a good sunbelt team and are ranked 100% purely bc of their schedule. In any P5 conf, they’d have 2-3 losses by now.
I hope Beamer does not make us regret not hiring Chadwell or Napier. The later two will be very successful P5 Head Coaches in the near future, in my humble opinion.
He also had wins vacated due to infractions. That was probably enough to steer clear of him for USC
Probably so, but Chadwell has them beating every single team on the schedule only a few years in full D1 football. That is what’s impressive. Quit looking at Coastal as equal footing as P5 teams, that is why they are in the sun belt.
Are you jealous of the national attention? Was this argument the same when App State was top 25? Cincy? ULL with Napier? Every team is a fraud unless they are in a P5 conference?
LOL our coach is not coming to be your OC. He was getting P5 inquiries last year. And if he wins out there's a good chance he gets some P5 offers this year.
Have you not seen the two new coaches in your conference come from successful G5 programs? Why is this a talking point when precedence exists?
Also, our program is up and coming. Our previous "billionaire" coach, Joe Moglia is still involved with the program and Jamey has his full support. We're adding an indoor practice field and expanding the endzone of our stadium. People who think he'll leave for an American Conference team or to be the OC at an SEC school have no idea what they're saying.
The only reason he came here was because of Joe's support and the fact he knew he'd be the head guy here very soon.
Please view this story that talks about our miniature rise here, and also discusses the relationship between Jamey and Joe.
Little we can do about that. Games are made years in advance. Unfortunately, in addition to UVA, we pick up Army next year, in addition to playing Buffalo again.
2023 Is better with UCLA, Liberty (If Freeze is still there), and Army again. Hopefully, we can find a way to get BYU in earlier. We are playing them again just working on when.
Maybe we at Carolina should look into that model….
Are you new to the South Carolina football family? Uhhhh...we have done much, much, way, way worse in the last couple to 20 years under WM, SOS, Holtz in the view of the NCAAs rules than CHARLESTON SOUTHERN's entire athletic dept. who over the course of 6 years gave away too many books and/or refunds for books at the bookstore to athletes. I think it was about 50 kids over 3-4 sports wasn't it? But that was a Chadwell problem huh?
I'm pretty sure if invited to the SEC, CCU would be more than willing to play a SEC schedule. Don't be hating on CCU because they're having success.
And they would be getting their azz kicked instead of being ranked top 25.
Not hate, just reality. They play a JV schedule and are successful. That doesn't make you a top 25 team.
Yes the “SEC SEC SEC” thought process which is your success is our success and we chose to get paid instead of having a winning program.
Curious... Not saying you're wrong I know we'd definitely get beat by some teams, but what teams would we lose to?
I notice it's SEC fans or fans, in general, like to discredit any smaller school by making blanket statements that if they played this team, or this schedule they'd lose.
Again, no doubt we'd lose to some teams but it's kind of like when we played BYU last season everyone said the only teams we beat were Sunbelt teams and we'd get killed... And that turned out to be different.
And then the narrative changed to BYU wasn't as good as people made them out to be. "They weren't the 8th best team in the nation."
BYU is undefeated so far this season, and is ranked 13th in the nation. They could very well finish the season with no losses. Is this the second year in a row of them having a so, so, team with an easy schedule?
The video that was played for the players before our BYU game. Sounds eerily familiar to a lot of the statements made now about Coastal....
BYU would get killed in the SEC, just like Coastal. Not sure who thought BYU was or is some juggernaut, but they weren't and aren't.
Is Holtz our coach now? We ARE talking recent history right? When did WE have wins vacated?
Again, good sir or madam, I asked who would we lose to?
Yea, Alabama for sure. Who else don't we stand a chance against? Give me teams not blanket statements.
IMO, the best way to settle such an argument is via a true 16-team playoff which includes the conference champions of all FBS conferences, with at-large invitees making up the balance.
If Coastal were a 14 seed, got sent to Athens to play a 3-seed Georgia squad in a first round game and won, the Chants deserve to move on.

I've watched BYU the last 2 years and I think they would finish 3rd in the East. JMHO.
GA, Florida, Arkansas, A&M, Auburn, LSU....each one of those teams would blow out Coastal.
Cool...
Kentucky beat FCS UT Chattanooga by just 5 points.
- I think we win that game
Auburn won a close game, at home against fellow SunBelt Georgia State last week and fired their WR coach. That game was a LOT closer than the score indicates. If you don't believe me Google Georgia State vs. Auburn and look at the articles. We beat Georgia State 51-0 last season. I know its a new season so we'll see what this year holds when we play them in November.
-This is a toss-up
Mizzou went to OT with Boston College, who played a common opponent in Umass that game was 45-24 in favor of Mizzou. We beat Umass 53-3.
- We hang with and/or beat Mizzou
Mississippi State beat a 2-2 Conference USA by a point (35-34) at home. This Conference USA nearly loss to a FCS team a week later
- I like our chances here as well
You already mentioned the other two teams we have a chance against.
And BYU boat raced a UCF team in a bowl game last year that lost to Cincinnati by 3 points. The same Cincinnati team that hung with UGA and lost by 3 points.

I don't agree. They are less talented than every SEC out there, including Vandy. And not just by a little. A lot. Per 24/7 team talent index, Vandy is 59th. BYU is 93rd.
Their opponents last year with their talent rating for this year (couldn't find it for last year)
Navy #140
Troy #96
La Tech #76
UTSA. #77
Houston #72
Texas St #98
Western Ky. #78
Boise St #64
North Alabama #143
Costal Carolina #102
San Diego St #95
The MOST talented team they played last year is less talented than Vandy. I'm not saying talent is everything, but it's a lot.
The SEC is a meat grinder. It's not about showing up for one or two decent teams a year. It's about playing top talent just about every week. That takes a toll, and depth is critical. Sure, they could win an unexpected game or two. Anything can happen on any given Saturday. David vs Goliath games where one team has nothing to lose and the other has nothing to gain. But when you have to bring it every week and face top talent 10 times a year instead of 1 or 2, it's an entirely different story.
I gave you my honest opinion. Happy for your success. I think it will be fleeting. My grandson played football at Coastal. I have no hate. But think of playing all those teams on a weekly basis. You find out what attrition is.
Coastal lost to Liberty last year in their bowl game. The same Liberty that lost to NC State who lost to Kentucky in their bowl game.
Football math is fun.
As someone that grew up in Myrtle Beach and lives less than 10 minutes from campus, I'll take a shot at this one. I love Coastal and Carolina. That being said. You have to remember that with the SEC schedule it doesn't matter how you would do in one game, it's how you do against the gauntlet of these teams. It's week in, week out and the conferences cupcakes are still known to be a headache (at times) against big programs.
I'll take USC's schedule this year and see how I think CCU would do:
EIL - W
ECU - close but 60/40 W
UGA - L
UK -close but 40/60. L
Troy - W
UT - Push
VU - W
TAMU - L
UF -L
MU- Push
Auburn - L, possibly Push
Clemson - L
Based on how some of those teams are playing this year, could see a few more pushes. So anywhere from 4w worst case to 9w best. With something like 6-6 to 8-4 most likely. We have an easy schedule this year.
That it is! Liberty lost that NC State game by a point and beat two other ACC teams that year. That NC State vs Kentucky game was won by two points also... Man, it's almost like those teams were evenly matched based on the score of multiple games.
This is fun!
Look who is in the bottom 10!

We have the toughest schedule in S. Carolina, not Clemson, not CCU. But that is more the reason why we cannot afford bonehead hires.
Coastal recruits on the same level with about every team they face. He’s not in a power five conference with a recruiting advantage. The man is winning because he can coach, if he was at an SEC school recruiting on the same level as us, I bet he would still be successful.
So, I guess by your football algebra, Coastal is a 3 TD dog to Nebraska this year, since they beat Buffalo by 25 and Coastal beat them by 3.
Sark has Texas playing better right now than any coach since Brown.
Texas 70 - Texas Tech 35
Yeah but tech scored 35. Texas Tech. There is no defense in that conference.
see, this is an example of what a dumbass you are, calling a Coastal fan something meant to be derogatory with “chicken”. You realize Coastal specifically picked their nickname as homage to their time in the USC system, right? You realize USCs mascot is a chicken, right?
