- While Power 5 football certainly dominates the headlines of College Football, the Group of 5 is where the best stories happen to be. One of those stories includes the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers, a team with an all teal football field and one that has been one of the best Group of 5 teams in the nation.They have a total of 22 wins over these last 2 years, one of the Nation’s best Head Coaches and Quarterbacks, and what’s even more impressive is that they’ve only been in the FBS since 2017. So how did a small, fairly new college from Conway, South Carolina, make program history and become one of the best teams in the Group of 5? In today’s video, we’ll be looking at the Rise of Coastal Carolina Football.
Will Coastal Carolina make it to a New Years Six Bowl this upcoming season?
Maybe they have to go undefeated to get there
No they wont, they lost Isaiah Likely and there top WR. McCall can’t play D too. 11-3 or 11-2.
Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Not this season but will come close. SMU, Houston, UCF, Memphis, Boise State, SDSU, Fresno State, UTSA, and Toledo all look super solid and have the schedules in non conference play and conference play where one of them will get the nod. Now unless one of them makes CFP 4-team selection playoffs; then that opens the door for another G5 school to get a NY6 bowl slot, assuming that the committee does something right for once. We all know that won’t happen. The committee will choose an 8-4 SEC or Big10 college that has no business in a top tier bowl, let alone a NY6 bowl and get clobbered by a Big12 or ACC college and then make excuses to defend that 8-4 college of whichever conference got the nod over a more deserving non power conference’s champion at 11-2 or 12-1 or bigger embarrassment a 13-0 school not getting a top bowl selection.
The Beach Chickens will finish somewhere between 3rd and 6th in the stacked 7 team Sun Belt East. App or Marshall will win it. Then CCU, Ga State, ODU, and JMU all separated by a few funny bounces, and the once great Statesboro Gnats coming in last.
I was a Student Equipment manager there last season, such an amazing staff and program that coach Chadwell has created there. Being there on the sideline when we won our first ever bowl game in the programs history was such an amazing moment that I’ll never forget. Can’t wait to see what this team will accomplish next!
how do you like likely for the Ravens. we are very excited to have him. he is going to be a weapon for lamar
@@bumm7318 absolutely love where he is. Likely is in a place with a great QB so he’ll be an impact right away. Though, I can see him transition in a WR in the future.
What ball were you guys using?
Hey Luke, I would love to talk more with you about Coach Chadwell's program vision and the inside on how he created that atmosphere
Do the rise, fall, rise again, fall again, and now rise again of Marshall university football from the 19080s to now. Guys like Chad Pennington, Randy Moss, Byron Leftwich, and Raheem Cato were apart of those successful years!!
I definitely want to do a video on them. Especially with them moving to the Sun Belt, I feel like they have a bright future ahead
@@JKJ002 the AAC should have grabbed Marshall and Southern Miss and not Rice and Charlotte. It’s a mistake that will come back to haunt the AAC in years to come. I just subscribed to your channel.
@@michaelwall3393 It's ALL about the TV market. Rice is in Houston & UNCC is in Charlotte, two major media centers, contrast that with Hattiesburg, Mississippi & ANYWHERE in West Virginia! It's true that Marshall & USM are better football teams, but that doesn't bring the 💰 that media exposure does
@@ekibirigeable I don’t dispute or disagree with you at all. My points are valid and stands though. Did you know that Huntington, West Virginia unlike Morgan Town, West Virginia is in the top 70 media markets according to Nielsen national ratings and two other media market measurements. Also unlike Morgan Town, Huntington has a large international air port, and Marshall University has better academics than West Virginia university and UNCC but not Rice obviously. Also Southern Miss is Tier1, Carnegie 1, R1 status and has the best academics in Mississippi; and though not AAU, the big push back by Tulane who is AAU was not just because both schools tend to target the same athletic students but also academic students to be perused. I agree that Houston and Charlotte are better media markets. But USM and MU are better in just about every single sport and not just football and have every single sport as opposed to Rice and UNCC. I also think UAB would always be available and should of consider someone else because once Clark steps down, how well will they do. We are about to see if Bill Clark was more like former Memphis University HC Tommy West in building and creating and sustaining a winning culture and program or is it going to be more like New Mexico post Rocky Long before getting right again and that is if New Mexico has figured out what works best football wise. It was clear that the networks were trying to block the AAC from making massive additions to maintain their stance as the best G5 or P6 narrative than destroying the Big12. Is the AAC still the best non power conference? Possibly???? I know FAU, UTSA, & UNT are heaven and hellbent to prove that they were the right adds. UAB could be. But the other two need to show something in football this fall and in all other sports too! UAB needs to be good and stable and not fall off and in other sports be solid as well.
@@ekibirigeableMedia exposure huh. The Pac 12 had 2 teams in LA. 2 teams in the San Francisco Bay Area. A team in Seattle. A team in Phoenix and the Nike flagship school Oregon. As of August 2023 the Pac 12 no longer exists
I love Coastal being a good team. Along with the new additions to the Sun Belt this coming season it is easily my favorite G5 conference. Hell, I like watching it more than the Pac 12 and the ACC usually.
You have to do Appalachian State after doing Coastal… it’s the newest rivalry in college football… only difference is App State has more history….
I'm an alumni from there. Love this school we have a bright future ahead of us for this program
Same here man, just graduated 4 weeks ago
Chants Up, graduated last year
C-I-N-O.... Coastal is number 1
@@halomaster9640 actually no im a special needs teacher. Love helping the kiddos who need extra help. So hope that gets u the satisfaction you were looking for
@@halomaster9640 why thank you. I know it can be hard but they just seem to have the most love ever and they just always make my day. I hope your kids are well and enjoying summer
I’m from Conway and this college is insanely good. Coach Chadwell and McCall work very well and the defense is also very well.
One of the things that will make the new Sun Belt East such a great collection of passionate rivals (and ultimately the best G5 division) is clear in this video. Even before the division takes full shape this fall, Coastal, App State, JMU, ODU, Ga Southern, Ga State, and Marshall all have decades of shared history. Coastal has spent total of 4 years sharing a conference with only 3 of the other future SBC East schools, and yet every school but Marshall was mentioned here in playing a pivotal or historic game against the Beach Chickens.
A series of one of these for each of the new SBC East would be great - App and Marshall particularly,
To this day I cannot hear the name Randy Smith or Sonny Randle and not think of the great App State and Marshall games on SportSouth when both teams were ferocious then D1AA Southern Conference rivals.🤔🎤🏈🏀📺B.W.
I live in Conway…they are definitely a bright spot in the community and in this county!!
@@halomaster9640 yeah right
Feel like a video on Maryland could be cool. They were always a top dog in the ACC during the 70s and 80s then fell off for a bit and came back in the early 2000s having 3 straight 10 win seasons then remained solid throughout the 00s and eventually were part of the group to ignite a big conference realignment cycle and have been mediocre-bad even with a ton of good talent ever since
Mike Tolbert the CCU legend 🔥
I’m a husker fan but I’ve been paying attention to them all season and it’s been shocking to me about them for sure
the arrival of UTSA Roadrunners?
You might as well do App State now it’s only right both schools are Dominating in the Sunbelt
Definitely got something planned for them
As a BYU fan, that loss in 2020 was gut-wrenching and kept us out of the NY6. But it has still been fun seeing Coastal’s meteoric rise. I love an underdog story. When BYU scheduled that last minute game in 2020, Coastal agreed to return the favor and come to Provo sometime in the future. Of course, that was before BYU’s invitation to the Big 12. BYU has had to cancel a bunch of games to make room for their future conference schedule but hopefully they make the rematch with Coastal happen. Mormons vs Mullets Vol. 2!
Would love to see it happen, but with BYU officially joining the P5, I don't know if we'll see it happen for a long time.
Im not sure if you’ve done them but since you did The Central Florida Knights you need to do the rise and fall of The South Florida Bulls
Ravens drafted TE Isaiah Likely in the 4th round he’s 6’4 running a 4’7 nightmare match up for LB’s
Awesome!! Love your channel and the group of 5 stories
Didn't realize they had a colored turf like Boise. Kind of came out of nowhere to move up G5 ranks.
can you do APP state
Calling it now - by 2030 Coastal Carolina will be an ACC school.
Incidentally for those who might think that by being Pro NDSU on here I'm hating on Coastal Carolina: I'm impressed by their immediate Gridiron success picking up after Coach Russ Bergman and Coach Cliff Ellis in "March Madness" a number of years ago. To say nothing of their achievement on The Baseball Diamond. Then there's quite possibly the alltime Name Combination in "Heiligh Likely!" Abbott and Costello ought to be jealous that they never thought of that. That these two young men turned out to be great Ballplayers (with one NFL Drafted in April) is a dividend indeed. And it's obvious that Coach Chadwell is putting the framework together for something special up in Conway, South Carolina. They'll be fun to watch play for awhile. In any event My Apologies for forgetting the backdrop of my comments.🤔😊🏈🏀⚾️B.W.
You should do a video on UTSA football!!!! 12 season in this year coming off their first conference championship and moving to the AAC next season
I love Coastal Carolina but they're a bit overrated. The mountain west is way more stacked then the sunbelt. The mountain west runner up beat the PAC 12 champs. My team is Fresno State and there is such a bias against west coast teams let alone a g5 one. Fresno State goes to Oregon loses by 7, then Oregon goes to the horse shoe and beats Ohio State. UCLA beats LSU and then Fresno State goes to the Rose Bowl and beats UCLA, yet we were ranked behind UCLA and barely in the top 25. It makes no sense but I'm happy for any g5 team that does good and I got some pleasure seeing Fresno State beat Coastal Carolina in basketball.
Do one about Louisiana Tech!
You should make a video on NDSU and why they haven’t moved up to the FBS
The real simple answer is they haven’t gotten an invite from an FBS conference
Eventually they'll probably receive one from The Mid America Conference transferring Their Basketball Programs from The Missouri Valley Conference as well. Or they could stay in The MVC as most if not all of that Conference transfers to FBS.🤔🎤🏈🏀B.W.
@@madbrowniac7871 I think the most likely solution is the MVFC moves up because NDSU would probably lose money going MAC for all sports as the summit has much closer schools for them
Brandon: I can see that and I forgot about The Summit membership of NDSU's Basketball programs. They would need to combine The Summit and The MVFC somehow as well.🤔🎤🏈B.W.
@@brandonhuberty8636that’s not all. They can’t financially afford it
I might get better at football if I go to this school, but I want to go to a school on the west coast, because it’s closer to family 😢
Thank you for this video! This brings back a ton of nostalgia with my time with and against the Chants
First collegiate football game and playoff football game as a student: CCU vs. App State (I was an App State Student)
Taught at CCU as a Lecturer from 2010-2013 and had plenty of football players as students
Went on to NDSU for my PhD and went to both CCU playoff games, seeing many of my former students who were players and coaching assistants
Now I am back teaching at Appalachian State as a professor and make every opportunity to see the Chants when they come to Boone, and sometimes I'll drive down to Conway to see them both play
It's a great program and a very underrated university. It's beautiful and I had a ton of wonderful, hardworking students.
I go the high school that Silas Kelly went to
Played soccer at that school. Never thought the football team would ever be good going in now I have a bunch of friends in the NFL… it’s crazy and awesome how good they are now
I am from South Carolina these schools down here in football is very competitive even though I am a Buckeyes fan Coastal Carolina have been making some good news
Mormons vs mullets was a bop
Tyler thigpen was the goat
Graduated from CCU in 2014. Was at the win vs Kansas last year. Excited to keep watching this program improve and I'm so proud of them! Go Chants!
I live less than 20 minutes away from the school and I've loved being able to watch my local school become a real contending team despite all the odds. Can't wait for what the future holds
I think I got a fifth team to cheer for Auburn, Florida State, Minnesota, Boise State and now Coastal Carolina. This team deserves to be where they are and I hope they have great success with their football program. Great video as well.
Idk how NIL will change this young program's prospects. Do they have the war chest/boosters to recruit and retain talent? 👀 🤔
I been to coastal carolina in 2009 to 2011, loved every bit of it, made some great friends
Coastal Carolina really came long way my father went to coastal Carolina and he graduated from coastal Carolina but I'm from Myrtle Beach South Carolina I live like 15 minutes from the university on Forestbrook road I hope coastal Carolina shock some people this season
App state owns CFB
This video made me a Costal fan, I'm honestly a little disenfranchised with the death of pageantry in the P5, so I started looking for a group 5 team to scratch the itch. Then I discovered how low key deep the Sun Belt is, so I settled on that conference, then I became a CCU fan
I film for a team in the sun belt and we played there last season. They make some great plays.
This is a great video! It would be really cool if you could do some videos like this for college baseball programs. Like the rise of Coastal baseball how they became a mid major Cinderella who won it all, or how Tennessee has risen out of nowhere to become a powerhouse and have one of the best years in baseball history
Huge season opener against Army this upcoming season!
Important to keep moving forward. New facilities will help. Ball at the beach! Let's Go CCU
So today is dec 3 and CCU plays Troy in the SUN BELT Championship I wish them good luck CCU
How about the rise of WKU Hilltoppers?
Wanted to play with this team on ncaa 07.. was disappointed to see they didn't exist yet. I'll have my Ps5 soon.. going to use this team.
Go App
What really help coastal Carolina was the fact t hat they brought in guys who got overlook by the power 5 schools so coastal Carolina bring them in and develop them
Coastal Alumni class of 22. Love to see my school on the map
Can we do one about how well JMU performs against them?
Erhm ... you refer to the BYU game as the "Mullets vs Mormons"
The future is as bright as that teal field of theirs. Go get ‘em, Chanticleers!
Boise State is where football was invented but Coastal isn't far behind
Does anyone have a recent version of their playbook. I love what the do and want to study it.
It was a nice little time at the top for coastal, but JMU is here now.
Class of 2015 here!! CCU for life!!! #ChantsUP
Thomas Sandra Thompson James Johnson Frank
South Jersey here...sub thrown
“Shawn- tey clears”
WELCOME BACK!!!!
They are an extremely good program. I love the rivalry we (Liberty) have with them. I truly wish we could have gotten an invite to the Sun Belt. The regional rivalries now with ODU, JMU, Marshall and of course Appy are fantastic. Maybe one day.
My home state baby
I remember keeping an eye on the Chanticleers during NDSU's insane title runs of last decade, they were just as fun to follow for their insane offense as NDSU's complete dominance. Sadly there would always be a team to trip them up compared to NDSU's several undefeated years. I'm glad they're in the FBS now, a team like them, James Madison, Jacksonville state, they all make more sense being in the FBS vs Umass, New Mexico State, and sadly lately UConn.
I hope NMSU and UConn get it together given they have big stadiums to fill, but UMass to me never made sense jumping to the FBS.
I also still hope 1 day for NDSU to make the jump because they have made the FCS their bitch if you pardon my French.
A hugely understated preview of what could be is the game that The Bison scheduled for 2022 against The University of Arizona, representing The Pac 12. NDSU could easily be the favorite in this one.🤔🎤🏈B.W.
The difficulty of NDSU making it to the FBS is finding a conference that will take them. Unlike the southeastern part of the country, there are not many options in the Northern Plains, if any.
While the Big 10 and Big 12 are in their region, they are P5 conferences and in no way will ever invite a FCS school, especially the Big 10 where their education standards are suppose to be high (then again, they let Nebraska in). The next closest conferences are from the G5 - Mountain West and MAC. NDSU would do great in either conference, but neither want the Bison at this point.
@@mrmajamojo if nothing else they could replace UMass and be an independent
Would you accept this then? A Brand New Northern Plains G5 style Superconference. All Four Dakota Schools, Both D1FBS Idahos, Both Montanas, Colorado State, Utah State, and Wyoming. Boise, San Diego State, Air Force all three would either go Indy or attempt to secure an invitation from The Pac12 to replace Arizona State, Arizona, and Colorado who join a new look variation on The Big 12. Just woolgathering. And someone somewhere is bound to have a better idea than mine.🤔😂🏈B.W.
@@madbrowniac7871 It would be an ideal situation to move up with all the Dakota, Montana and Idaho schools. However, money is the big factor along with the state politics. I can't speak for the Montana, Idaho and South Dakota schools, but the ND politicians who either attended UND or are fans of the school, especially in regards to the hockey team, have made NDSU's plans to grow (academically and athletic) difficult over the years.
States with small populations, regardless of land size, and have more than one DI school are at a disadvantage when it comes to funding. I believe this is why we haven't seen the Montana and Dakota schools move up. Idaho made the attempt and failed, and I doubt Idaho State could do better as their facilities lack compared to their state rival.
With that said, I do believe NDSU has a plan that has been put together over the past decade to move up. They are just waiting for the right time to execute the plan. Hopefully when they do, they succeed and end up at bowl games that aren't in Frisco, TX. Nothing against the city or area, but after playing all the FCS Championship Games there the past decade, a change of scenery would be nice.
That coastal BYU game in 20 was legendary
I'd like to see there be a 4 conference system where they add the little guys who succeed and the top 2 teams from the 4 conferences get a playoff spot. But they can only other teams from those 4 conferences. Competition would better, tv money would be massive and they could kick funding to the lower levels
hahaha they're a fucking joke they ran because they weren't contenders. Ndsu made sure of that 😆😆
This is strange, I didn’t expect to see my school in a recommend video. Currently a second year.
They have been better since! Please do Rise and fall of ULM warhawks!
ULM was never good
I mean they were good in 1987!
Won what was then The D1AA Championship as did Arkansas State earlier before both made the jump. Counts as very good to me.🤔🏈🐶🐺B.W.
I am loving watching teams like CC , it is so refreshing watching teams like this beat teams they technically shouldn't, hopefully we get more success from CC and other non top tier year after year teams we see on tv.
Amazing video for a small youtuber. I’ll be sure to keep up with your content
I’ve had the opportunity to work for the team for 3 years now. Been here for the lows, and every bit of the highs. Thanks for the vid
They have great uniforms, they have a great mascot/name, that in itself makes it easy to pull for them.
They got good because every opponent is to confused about their nickname to do anything
you have to do app state
Don't do one on NDSU...
Could u do a video about the downfall (and maybe rise depending how you see it) of pitt?
chants up babyyyyy
The 2020 season should have a huge asterisk by it
You should make one on Appstate ! Love these vids
Sounds like Jackson state needs to play them
Finally saw this keep up the good work Jason glad your back
Those colors!
If coastal carolina play against P5 schools and win I believe they could be SEC material.
It's butts in seats that makes a school SEC material, not winning on the field.
And for comparison, Coastal's Brooks Stadium only seats about 1/4 of what you'd find at South Carolina which is on the smaller end of SEC stadiums
BE A DOG!!
I love their playcalling….
CCU will make it to the playoffs
we will see when they go against JMU.
Dynasty
they also attacked zach wilson
I have to agree with Bennett need some dawgs
Love watching these guys ball out! :)
These players is get drafted
2012 big south title was a 3 way tie!
Would rather be at JSU
Nobody bet Kansas would win those games dude, sorry 🤣
They were the betting odds favorite. Doesn’t matter if people actually “bet” on them or not.
