Coastal Carolina Coach Jamey Chadwell Accepts Job At Liberty
When our son started his freshman year at Coastal Carolina University, the world was still on pause for Covid. It was a year of ups and downs and uncertainty. Our emotions were all over the place. Our only child was embarking on what he always looked forward to as a big milestone adventure. However, attending college in 2020 was quite different than any of us ever experienced. But, one of the aspects of life at Coastal that remained a bright spot was their amazing football team led by Jamey Chadwell. Although, limited stadium capacity prevented us from attending. But, I never missed watching a game on TV. Indian Trail, North Carolina quarterback Grayson McCall and the entire team provided dynamite entertainment along with an undefeated season. Well, all things come to an end. And, I learned today Coastal Carolina Coach Jamey Chadwell accepted a job as head coach at Liberty University in Virginia.
Talk of offers often swirl around Chadwell due to the team’s success over the last couple of years. According to a story on WBTW, Chadwell waited to make his announcement until after this past weekend’s Sun Belt game. The Chants fell to Troy Saturday with a score of 45-26. Quarterback Grayson McCall returned to play after being sidelined for several games with an injury. Chadwell said rather than just going for money, he goes where he believes he can make an impact in a positive way. Chadwell and Liberty University settled on a seven year deal of more than $4 million per year. His head coaching stint at Coastal began in 2019. And now, Tim Beck takes over as the fourth head coach in Coastal history. He brings with him 35 years of experience. Beck spent the last 12 years as an offensive coordinator at Nebraska, Ohio State, Texas and NC State. Beck says, “Coastal is a special place with special people.” He’s absolutely right about that. We will definitely miss Coastal Carolina Coach Jamey Chadwell and wish him nothing but the best. He gave us some unforgettable years of football!
