Congrats Coastal

That’s how y’all win a mother ******* bowl game

-everyone even your own fans expecting a blow out

-defense hangs it nuts on a team for 4 quarters straight

-sick one handed TD

-sent some Disney protagonist QB home with a L

Disgusting QB efficiency and synergy with the team


CHANTS UP

Nearly 5,000 miles and 10 point dog at one point. Freshman QB vs Senior QB playing in his hometown. 5 hour time difference. No problem. Chantz Dub. Goodnight

I took NyQuil and ended up sleeping through the game but I feel like a kid on Christmas morning now seeing the final score! Great win for the Chants. And against all odds...

Passed out with 05:00 left in the 4th! So happy to wake up to this news. Great win, Coastal!

Congrats Chants!

Congrats CC!

Badly needed win for the Belt. Congratulations!

Congrats Beech Chickens!

Killer clutch last drive topped off with a highlight reel catch. Really impressed with Vasco!

Should be a nice starting QB battle this offseason between Vasko and Michigan State transfer Noah Kim. I'd imagine Vasko will have the upper hand to start next season, but he'll have some comp.

As Coastal wrapped up the win last night I wondered what Coastal fans felt about Coach Beck after one full season. I felt the hire was a tad underwhelming at first but as I watched the game he just seemed to project confidence. What do Chant fans think of him after the first season?

I've been hard on him. He came in as one of the league's highest paid coaches without proving anything. I'm not a fan of that but I ultimately understand to allow time to see how things play out. He's very much growing into his role as a Head Coach and I try to keep that in mind. There has been progression.

Some very disappointing moments this season but also flashes of good potential and things to be optimistic about given our youthful team and 1st year staff. In theory, things should improve as they continue to bring in their own players and current players have a little experience in the new system.

My wish list is still unfulfilled in that I want to erase the memories of the Georgia teams dominating us this season and we didn't show up against James Madison (yet again)! I will say that Coach Beck's leadership style is growing on me as he's masterfully navigated the Grayson McCall distraction with helping to develop our younger QBs (and seeing the future brighter with Vasko taking charge). I also feel better about Beck's commitment to Coastal, especially since his daughter played volleyball for us, and maybe we're a program he'll spend time building instead of using us merely as a stepping stone to a more lucrative position somewhere else...

Good post until those last 14 words...if you even think that is a possibility.

Some just didn’t like the hire because of his age, he is a first time head coach, he’s not Chadwell, he knew Moglia from Nebraska, he was hired without a formal search, or any other number of reasons that don’t seem very reasonable to me.

As a supporter of the program first and foremost, I feel like any new coach deserves a fair shot.

We had issues early. I think maybe they just focused on the defense and felt they were good on offense since we brought back so much experience back. It took us 5 games with 2 conference losses to get the offense figured out. They were able to use 3 different QBs in a 5 game conference win stretch. Our previous staff didn’t seem to ever have a good, consistent backup. We also made drastic improvements on defense. Seems like the new staff is trying to instill a more business like / professional environment. They’ve brought in changes to the nutrition and strength programs that seem to help make a big difference this year. They seem to be doing a decent job in recruiting.

I would have liked to not have lost to Army or have at least showed up vs JMU but I think overall the year was positive, especially with the bowl win where we were underdogs. We were in contention for the SBC East again. Next year will be interesting since we will lose so much on offense.

Congrats Chants, great win!

A solid 8.

So, he did a number of positive things throughout the season and the season leading prior to. For starters, he pretty much kept a large, talented roster here for at least one season. And while, yes, Grayson McCall did get that head injury and pretty much sat out afterwards for rest of the season, and jarrod Brown who I believe redshirted the rest of the season, we still kept javon Simpkins, our nearly four-star RB, and McDoom, our amazing corner. We've, I mean, in terms of recruiting, have gotten a much better class than we've had under Jamie Chadwell. Furthermore,, on the recruiting path, we've pretty much gotten what we've always wanted, which was solid offensive and defensive lines. We've gotten a ton of kids through the portal that's been instant additions to the team. So, on that front, even though he is known as a recruiter, he's done a fantastic job, for starters. In terms of the games, he, while having some games where some of his play calling was a bit questionable: not going for it within fourth and reasonable, being a bit too conservative, a lot of the offensive play calling during the James Madison game (although I don't know whether or not that was Trickett's doing or his own) I'm not going to hold the Army game against him, because to both his and Army's admission, Army pretty much switched up to a whole new style of play that they weren't consistently playing the entire season. And even then, we did adjust to that, we just couldn't beat the time of possession. So, as a coach, purely on the field perspective, hell yeah. He's doing a great job. Defensively, with his hires, stellar. Out of the ******* park. Especially compared to chadwells' regime, with our “bend and don't break defense” which allowed so many points per game, it basically became who had the better offense at the end of the day. Offense, while going through some growing pains with ChadWells' kids and Grayson McCall, he did find himself his rhythm by the end of the season, not even by the end of the season, my bad, the start of the second quarter of the season. So, there's that., I think he is a great coach. If we won a couple of those games that we lost, I think he could have been in the consideration of coach of the year. Otherwise, I think if he truly does improve with recruiting classes, and really just continues on the path, he'll easily surpass Jamie Chadwell's reputation here. Although, Jamie Chadwell's reputation, depending on who you ask, is a little marred in controversy and hatred.
