Beck beat out other candidates Everett Withers and Billy Davis.

They have a little history of success, so it's surprising they couldn't attract someone who hasn't been fired a lot previously.

How is Liberty an upgrade over Coastal Carolina?

Liberty is going to pay Chadwell nearly 4 times as much as he was making at Coastal

Just over $1 million a year base at Coastal up to now over $4 million at Liberty.

Fairly simple decision really.

Essentially this is bout the same as moving from Toledo to Memphis. Sun Belt is roughly equal to the MAC, ie bottom of the FCS barrel and Liberty is nearly on par with Memphis and AAC team with a bigger stadium and budget,, and hence much higher pay

Sun Belt FAR surpasses the Mac , its similar to the good era of the MWC tbh

Another thing to consider is Liberty plays in a bigger stadium, draws nearly 4K more people per game even though the ticket price is nearly $20 a ticket higher for Liberty than Coastal. 

21K per game vs 17K

45-50 avg ticket price vs 25ish for Coastal

That's nearly $6 million in ticket sales for Liberty vs about $2.6 million for Coastal.

Liberty has plans to expand that stadium again soon to take it up to 30K vs Coastal's at 21K

Overall per public records Liberty brings in 50% more revenue from football than Coastal does and hence has a bigger stadium, larger HC and Asst pool and better overall facilities

Sorry 1 more thing, Liberty is moving to CUSA Next year so definitively a step up from Sun Belt

Football attendance has zero to do with this. Liberty online is basically them printing money. They literally have meetings where they brainstorm what to do with all the money.

They couldn't find a better pic of him to photoshop?  The expression on his face LOL

They chose the look that best represents what his expression will be on the sidelines when he's coaching Coastal.

That pic looks like he was just told to pack his shit, and GTFO of the Woody.

Wasn't there a photoshopped image of Beck looking like Beavis going around at some point?  I couldn't find it.

Most of the pics of him were back shots headed out the door after being fired!

I really think Chadwell could be a successful P5 coach somewhere if someone gives him a shot.  Bummed he didn't get a better gig than Liberty on this season's carousel.

Football coaching and politics are the only two fields where people consistently fail upwards.

Another curious hire, UC picks Lousiville's Scott Satterfield as their new coach.

https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/35187740/sources-cincinnati-tabs-scott-satterfield-replace-luke-fickell

Who knows if this works out for them But Satterfield was 8-5 his first year there but has gone 16-19 in his last 35 games and 11-15 in the ACC, hardly what appears to be a step up for them.

Add to that Louisville is scheduled to play UC in their bowl and this is quite odd

Here is what CBS Sports had to say about hiring Beck.

"This is Beck's first crack as a head coach, and he is taking over a Chanticleers program that established a tradition of offensive success under Chadwell. None of Beck's three Wolfpack offenses finished in the top half of the ACC, and two of this three offenses at Texas finished in the bottom half of the Big 12. This hire doesn't make any sense. Grade: F"

Joe Moglia is the AD at Coastal. Technically he is the "chair of athletics/executive director for football/executive adviser for the president".

He is a fairly wealthy guy (former Chairman of TD Ameritrade among other companies) who once was an Asst at Nebraska when Beck was there.

Moglia was also the HC for Coastal from 2012-2016, then took a 1 year leave of absence and then back to HC in 2018. His record was 56-22.

He was made Chair of Athletics, etc while still the HC. He then made a large contribution to the school in 2021 and the athletic center is being named after him in part due to this.

Here is Moglia's quote about Beck: “I have known Tim since my return to coaching 13 years ago at Nebraska. He is an excellent coach and coordinator, and has always had the best interest of his players, coaches, and school at heart,”

IE him and Beck are buddies and the money guy said this is who I want. 

There were news articles in NC papers asking if Beck should be fired with how mediocre the NCST offense and play caller were (sound familiar?)

Beck's daughter also played Volleyball at the school.

Nebraska fans certainly shed no tears when this guy left for OSU. OSU fans have no love for him, Texas couldn't wait to be rid of him and NCST fans think he was mediocre as well.

This reeks of good ole boy network hire.

BTW CBS sports gave the Satterfield hire by UC a C-

Sorry, but that was a really long post for someone who has no clue what he's talking about. First, Moglia isn't "fairly wealthy," he's worth several billion with a B. Second, he is not in any way shape or form the AD or the defacto AD or the guy behind the scenes pulling strings. Matt Hogue is the AD, and he's a damn good one. He's been at the forefront of CCU going from a big fish in a puddle to where they are today. School added football while he was doing marketing and fundraising, and has turned into a team sniffing the top 25. National championship in baseball in 2016. Went from 4k students to 10k. Matt hired Joe personally and kept him in the family even when Joe's health kept him from his coaching duties. Sorry, but I take umbrage with you making assumptions off of things you pieced together and presenting them as true.

Myrtle Beach State really should have been able to come up with somebody with a little more upside than Tim Beck. It’s like that awful Fansville commercial where Bosworth is standing at the carousel and a futbol coach falls out.

Scouts take:  Tim certainly is a mobile coach.  He displays good hip turn when transiting the metal detector at airports.  Show advanced ability to fail both laterally and upward.

No sarcasm, I am sure he will be an excellent coach since he learned under Urban. Ok, now I'll take a shot; Tim Beck is the offenses version of Alex Grinch.
