Last July at Sun Belt Conference Football Media Day, Coastal Carolina associate head coach Jamey Chadwell guaranteed the Chanticleers wouldn’t finish last in the conference.
The Chants were entering their first season in the Sun Belt after moving up from the Football Championship Subdivision and were predictably picked to finish last in the 12-team league.
CCU head coach Joe Moglia will have an opportunity to make a similar proclamation at Sun Belt Media Day on Monday in New Orleans.
The conference has been cut to 10 football teams and split into two divisions for the first time for the 2018 season, and the Chants have been selected in a poll of the league’s head coaches to finish last in the five-team East Division.
