Here we go with Coastal Carolina. Here is the link to the other posts down below:

Coastal Carolina seems to try to figure out what direction they want to go. They hired Jamey Chadwell, a young HC with previous FCS HC experience. Then they hired Tim Beck who is an older coach with no HC experience but has been around for a while. As it is apparent that they don't know what direction they want to go, this list will prove I have no clue what direction they want to go.
Top Assistants Looking For That Jump
Casey Woods, SMU (OC; 2022-?)
From everything I am hearing, Woods is not a finalist for the UAB job, soif he still wants to be a HC, Coastal Carolina may be his destination. Has done a great job as the OC and has SEC ties working with Gus Malzahn and Eliah Drinkwitz before working with Rhett Lashlee at SMU.
Buster Faulkner, Georgia Tech (OC; 2023-?)
Another OC with SEC ties, though he has more Sun Belt ties than the one sole year Woods has and Faulkner seems to have been an OC since he was 27, he is now 44. I think Faulkner makes sense, it's just a matter of if this is who Coastal wants.
Rob Ezell, Wake Forest (OC; 2025-?)
This one is actually a fun one. Not only is he a former Saban assistant and player, but he is also a Saban impersonator. Go to YouTube and look up Rob Ezell Saban, and you will find the impression. Besides that, he came in and done a fantastic job as the OC at a school that is not known for football.
FCS to FBS
Steve Englehart, Presbyterian (2022-?)
Would probably be hire on this list if he isn't the front runner for the UAB job currently. He has done a great job slowly rising this Blue Hose team all the way to the top of the Pioneer League. The only glaring issue is he is leaving a non scholarship school for a school that relies on scholarships.
Keith Cahill, Lehigh (2023-?)
After going 2-9 his first year for the Mountain Hawks, he has taken them to back to FCS Playoff appearances. They are currently 12-0 and fourth in the FCS, if I'm Coastal, I'm calling immediately.
Brennan Marion, Sacramento State (2025-?)
This is a guy who could had had any G5 program he desired, but he was duped into believing that Sacramento tate could be in the FBS next year. He honestly did a good job, I just expect him trying to get back in the FBS very soon.
The Funniest Thing That Could Happen
Tim Beck, Vanderbilt (OC; 2024-?)
You fire Tim Beck, just to replace him with Tim Beck. Two different guys, but same names. Like I previously stated in my Tulane list, I expect him to be staying for another year to coach the top QB in the recruiting class in Jared Curtis.
There is yet another list and James Madison is on it's way. Let me know your thought below!
