they took #8 BYU on a 2 day notice and won, Coastal would’ve beat Carolina. If it were the first game or two, MAYBE Carolina would’ve won. From the midpoint of the season onward, Coastal would’ve won by 2-3 TDs.
as for Chadwell not being wanted by other programs, you’re comparing us to Tennessee, Texas, and who else? Those programs are above us. Tenn’s recent hiring history has been as idiotic as ours, but they’ve got a Natty and a history of SEC championships, they’re above us. Texas is well above us. My understanding is that Chadwell was not interested in jobs like Vandy, Kansas, etc. I think he understands full well that his next stop is a major program. He WAS interested in Carolina though.
I HOPE Beamer succeeds, but I have major doubts. The fact he was hired on the same weekend that Chadwell beat #8 BYU showed me that we never seriously considered anybody else. And to me, that sadly points to what a joke this athletic program has become.
