It didn’t take the Coastal Carolina football team long to make head coach Joe Moglia a large part of its 2017 season.
The Chanticleers took the field for their first practice of the season Saturday morning less than 17 hours after being informed by Moglia that he was going to miss the season due to a medical sabbatical to address lung inflammation.
A couple of Chants declared after the practice that the team is dedicating the season – the school’s first in the Football Bowl Subdivision – to their sixth-year head coach.
“We’re going to dedicate the season to coach Moglia,” senior running back Osharmar Abercrombie said.
