Oleschool: Yes Coach Moglia has a lot of money because of what he did with TD Ameritrade. That doesn't matter. The guy flat out knows how to manage and motivate people/players. Was I upset when David Bennett was fired? Absolutely. I even wrote a letter to the President of CCU. BUT, I like others, thought it was time for Bennett to move on. I just was not happy with how it was handled. Was I leery of Moglia, and did I think it might just be something to get CCU some headlines? Yep! Then after cooler heads prevailed - after a week or two, I figured our AD at the time, and President Decenzo get paid a hell of a lot more money than I'll ever make to make decisions like this, so why not give the coach a chance before coming to his doorstep with torches? It was never Moglia's fault. All he did was throw his hat in the ring when the job opened up.
Moglia having money has very very little to do with CCU's success. He has straightened the team out by not putting up with the BS that Bennett allowed. Yes CCU is better funded than any HBCU, but that has been an issue for how long now with HBCUs? I don't remember which HBCU it was, but wasn't it last year when one of the football team's players quit and forced a forfeit b/c of the playing conditions etc? If that's the case, and I have a friend who is a Southern alum and he says the same thing, then the schools need to do something about it, and fast. That's ridiculous.

The Coastal fans are funny...even if their numbers are limited. I live in Charleston. Even with Coastal's recent success, they still garner no respect in this state. Even lowly Citadel thinks of them as second rate. I can only assume it's because the Citadel is in the SOCON. Even that in itself is crazy since the formidable teams (App State & Ga Southern) left the SOCON. As for Coastal, they can't pay their fans to support them in Conway or on the road. Their only support is done behind a key board or in a bar. They're still struggling to become relevant. They're only known for the party school on the beach with a high HIV infection rate. I can't wait for the Aggies to bring them down a few notches when their only claim to fame gets diminished. Saturday can't get here fast enough. Yes El Cid thinks of us as second rate and they're 0-1 and we're 1-0. Ask Montana about how second rate we are. Moving on....I don't hide behind a keyboard. As I stated before I am a season ticket holder, and go to 1-2 road games ever year. Would it be nice if we had more respect, sure everyone wants more respect. Is our lack of respect going to effect me going to games and supporting my alma mater? Not a chance in hell. Kudos, Bodoyle for supporting the teal chickens. Unfortunately, you are just one of not very many. Just keep winning. Eventually someone is SC will care.

It's difficult when you have the ocean to compete with (not trying to sound conceited) for student's attention and Myrtle Beach being a very transient place - hell I'm originally from Chicago.

My only question about my prediction basically being bulletin board material: if your team needs to post what I saw to get them fired up, then, as I stated on our board, your team is not as good as I thought. Well that just tells me you never played collegiate sports and/or don't know much about it.

If me questioning players needing an opposing team's fan to fire them up with "bulletin board material" means I don't know or have played collegiate sports, then I am glad I apparently "don't know anything". Do you think the CCU players went and looked at what the Montana fans were saying about them and how it was going to be -20 with the windchill and how we were from the beach etc and we wouldn't be able to handle it? No, I don't think so. Who the hell cares what a fan, suchas myself, or you, say about the opposing team? It sure as hell isn't the team.

Don't underestimate Broadway.

I respect Coastal Carolina's football program. I'm sure Coach Broadway respects them as well. I went to both games where CCU beat us - in both games, we were prepared to compete against CCU.....frankly we just weren't talented enough. The first time CCU played us, it was only Coach Broadway's 3rd game with our team that went 1-10 the previous year. We fought valiantly, but CCU won 31-14. In 2012, everyone knows our starting QB (Kindle) was suspended for that game. We had a freshman Quick as our starting QB, who made some mistakes. But still, in that loss to CCU in Conway, the team fought tooth and nail against a team that was just athletically better.....
......now it's 2014. I can truly say we have the talent level that is necessary to compete against the likes of a CCU or any other top FCS program. Coach Broadway was never outcoached in those first 2 games vs CCU - he was outmanned. Now that we've gotten better talent across the board and have this game on our home field, I just don't see where this game is a blowout.
2011: 31-14 2012: 29-13
I don't really care if the CCU faithful respect us or not......we respect them. There's a healthy level of respect a team should have for its opposition, in order to beat them. When the respect isn't there, the ideal preparation isn't there...you show up to a game not fully prepared to win. If CCU has that type of mindset - GREAT!!! We won't.
This game will be very interesting, to say the least.....

Personally, I think that Coastal Carolina should focus on your opponent on September 13th (SC State) and not worry about this game. Nothing to see here, CCU fans...keep it moving.

oldeschool: I'm sorry if I have insulted your intelligence, but having a coach with money does not effect the University. It COULD effect the University when he leaves; if he gives us a "gift". Yes it's nice that he took a small (relatively speaking) contract and that saves the school some $ sure. But it is illegal for him to do much of anything with his money for CCU while he is under contract. He can't even take some of his own money to sign Asst. Coaches or give them bonuses. Didn't Dabo Swinney from Clemson get in trouble for that a few years ago?

Didn't Dabo Swinney from Clemson get in trouble for that a few years ago? That is true...he cannot use his personal wealth to fund things related to his position at CCU until he leaves the payroll. If that WASN'T the case, Oklahoma State would've made T. B, Pickens an assistant coach DECADES ago!

oldschool: I absolutely agree with you about why coaches instruct their players to not say anything that can be used as bulletin board material. The difference here is that I am a fan, not a player. If your team, or any team for that matter, is looking for bulletin board material, they can find it EVERY SINGLE WEEK on the opponents message board. I am sure some other posters on CoastalFans.com will think we're going to put up 50+ on you guys. I am not the only fan to ever think this. I don't intend this as a knock on your win over Appy St (anyone who beats them is good in my book), but Appy was 4-8 last year, very un-Appy. dude, i understand exactly where your confidence comes from. i suppose if our coach was a “millionaire” like yours, we’d be much better funded too and perhaps a top 5 team. but make no mistake about it, our guys are not scared of ya’ll, not even by a long shot. no matter how “cocky” you are. obviously i was only being “sarcastic” in my last post. and, while you’re beating your chest over there, let’s be real. your school is no better than ours except your school has a lot more money to spend on athletics than ours does or any other hbcu for that matter. bottom line, your success is predicated on “funding”, just like most other highly successful fcs and bcs teams. but other than that, your school is no better than ours. so sure, beat your chest. but understand that your team is successful because of the cultural advantages schools like yours have over schools like mine. but despite our “disadvantages” (shall we say), we will put up a darn good fight and don’t be surprised if you go home with a sad face. we don’t have your money, but do have a lot of “pride”. tell your fans to keep talking smack, personally i luv it! we’ll see you on saturday... Just so you know olde: Coastal spends about $52,200 per year the last three years on Football. NC A&T spends $48,100. Biiiiiig difference. Glad we have our billionaire coach........ spendingdatabase.knightcommission.org/
