Coastal Carolina Hires Joe Moglia as Head Coach

[asumike83]

An interesting move to say the least. Better known as a billionaire businessman, current chairman and former CEO of TD Ameritrade, Coastal hires Joe Moglia to take over as head coach. He was the head coach and president of the UFL's Omaha Nighthawks before signing with Coastal and does have prior experience in the college ranks.

I guess he will work for free while they pay off Bennett's contract.

This may be a brilliant move, but I suspect disaster.

He put his name at his alma mater Fordham, also Fordham Prep but withdrew early.

I could imagine certain benefits to hiring a highly-motivated mufti-billionaire as a head coach.

It's not like he has no coaching experience. He was the DC at Dartmouth in his early 30's, and this was at a time when Dartmouth Football was very relevant.

I think he will do well. He will need strong x's and 0's guys for assistants, but this guy is a winner and a leader.
