CHANTICLEER SPORTS NETWORK

(L-R): JOE CASHION, LAYNE HARRIS, CHRIS BURGIN AND JOE CATENACCI

The Coastal Carolina University Department of Athletics began a new partnership in August 2017 with local broadcast company Alpha Media-Myrtle Beach to make WRNN-AM/FM (“Hot Talk 99.5”) and stations 1450 AM/105.5 FM the flagship homes of the Chanticleer Sports Network. The partnership features live game coverage of football, men’s and women’s basketball, and baseball airing primarily on WRNN-FM with supplemental coverage on WRNN-AM 1450 and its FM translator 105.5. Coastal Carolina University’s Chanticleer Sports Network produces and distributes more than 100 broadcasts each athletic year as an in-house division of the Chanticleer Department of Athletics and is once again set to deliver the playby-play account of Chanticleer Athletics. Football coverage begins an hour before kickoff with the “Myrtle Beach Family Golf Countdown to Kickoff Pregame Show.” The football crew includes veterans Joe Cashion delivering the play-by-play duties and Layne Harris providing color analysis. Both have been describing the action since the program’s inception in 2003. Cashion returns for his 19th season overall and eighth calling the play-by-play. His first 11 seasons were reporting from the sidelines. Cashion boasts a long career in sports broadcasting and has been a major contributor to the Chanticleer baseball broadcasts for several years and was in the booth when the Coastal Carolina

baseball team won the 2016 NCAA College World Series. Cashion has also called play-by-play in his native Camden for several local sports, the state playoffs and championship games, as well as handling sideline duties for SCETV’s Weekend of Champions high school coverage. Cashion serves our nation each day as a full-time public affairs official with the South Carolina National Guard. Harris, a Grand Strand broadcast veteran, returns for his 19th season as the color analyst on the network. For more than two decades, Harris has called the action for numerous local teams and events, including Fox College GameDay on WFXB TV, Conway High School football, the prestigious Beach Ball Classic basketball tournament, and Chanticleer basketball. Harris has been active away from the microphone as well, where his production talents have been featured on many Grand Strand projects. He also served as a producer on the original Charlotte Hornets television network. Joining the broadcast team for a sixth-straight season are Joe Catenacci and Chris Burgin. Catenacci hosts the pregame and halftime shows, and Chris Burgin is in his eighth year of reporting from the sidelines, filling in for Cashion for the 2010 and 2011 seasons and holding the spot for each of the last five years. Catennaci and Burgin have also called their fair share of Coastal basketball and baseball games the last five-plus years.

CHANTICLEER RADIO INTERNET COVERAGE When away from the radio, Chanticleer fans can listen to the Chants live via the Chanticleer Sports Network online at wrnn.net/ or on the WRNN 99.5 FM Myrtle Beach TuneIn App.

The defense was also second in the Sun Belt in scoring defense (20.2 points per game), second in sacks per game (2.83), second in fourth-down conversion percent defense (44.4 percent), third in first downs defense (223), third in fewest passing yards allowed (204.2 yards per game), third in fewest rushing yards allowed (147.7 yards per game), third in tackles-for-loss per game (6.4), third in total defense (351.9 yards per game), and fourth in third-down conversion percentage defense (38.0 percent). The team also ranked first in the conference and second nationally in fewest penalties per game (3.67), and was second in the Sun Belt on the season in both fewest penalties (44) and fewest penalty yards (428).

In his first year as the full-time head coach for the Chants in 2019, the Chanticleers went 5-7 overall and highlighted the season with a 12-7 win on the road at Kansas, the program’s first-ever win over a Power 5 opponent on the gridiron. For the second-straight season in 2019, the Chants missed bowl eligibility by just one win and finished 2-6 in the Sun Belt Conference. However, the Chants were competitive all season long, as seven of their 12 games on the season were decided by one score (eight points) or less. Remaining the offensive play-caller in 2019, the Coastal Carolina offense recorded over 400 yards of total offense five times, including a season-high 636 yards in the road win at UMass. The Chants were 23-for-29 (79.3 percent) on fourth-down attempts which was the second-best percentage both nationally and in the Sun Belt, while the 23 fourth-down conversions were tied for the third-most nationally behind only Army and Navy with 26.

The CCU offense also ranked first in the Sun Belt in time of possession (33:24), first in completion percentage (65.0 percent), fifth in third-down conversion percentage (40.7 percent), and fifth in sacks allowed (1.67 per game). Both sophomore quarterbacks in Fred Payton and Bryce Carpenter surpassed the 1,000-career passing yards mark on the season, as both completed over 63 percent of their pass attempts and combined to throw for 2,379 yards and 21 touchdowns.

team in rushing with 1,085 yards on the season, which ranked fourth in the Sun Belt, and etched his name in the CCU record books as he became just the fourth Chant to rush for over 1,000 yards in a single season joining De’Angelo Henderson (2014, 2015, and 2016), Lorenzo Taliaferro (2013), and Patrick Hall (2004). The defense improved in every area from 2018 to 2019, as the “Black Swarm” defense led the Sun Belt in fewest first downs allowed (241), was third in interceptions (11), fourth in scoring defense (30.5 points allowed per game), fourth in total defense (383.6 yards per game), fourth in rushing defense (160.1 yards per game), fifth in fewest passing yards allowed (223.5 yards per game), and sixth in red-zone defense (85.7 percent). Junior defensive end Tarron Jackson led the Sun Belt and set a new Coastal single-season record with 10.0 sacks on the season and also led the team and ranked fifth in the Sun Belt with 13.0 tackles-for-loss, of which 9.5 came in conference play. Redshirt senior cornerback Chandler Kryst at one point led the nation and finished seventh in all of NCAA FBS with five interceptions on the season. As a team, the Chants were fourth in the conference in punt return defense (6.43 yards allowed per game), fourth in fewest penalty yards (586), fourth in fewest penalty yards per game (48.83), fifth in fewest penalties (67), and fifth in fewest penalties per game (5.58). A total of 11 student-athletes earned Sun Belt Conference postseason honors, as Jackson was named to the All-Sun Belt first team, becoming only the second Chant to earn first-team all-conference honors since Coastal Carolina joined the Sun Belt in 2017. Earning second-team honors was Kryst, while five Chants were named to the third team in tight end Isaiah Likely, offensive lineman Trey Carter, defensive tackle C.J. Brewer, nose tackle Sterling Johnson, and linebacker Teddy Gallagher. Receiving honorable mention recognition was Marable, wide receiver Jaivon Heiligh, tight end Shadell Bell, and offensive lineman Ethan Howard. In the classroom, redshirt junior Jonathan Clayton earned second-team CoSIDA Academic All-America honors, while five other Chants in Kameron Burton, Carter, Gallagher, Michael McFarlane, and Alex Spillum joined Clayton on the CoSIDA Academic All-District 4 first team. A 2018 Broyles Award nominee, an award given annually to college football’s top assistant coach, Chadwell was the associate head coach, offensive coordinator, and quarterbacks coach for the Chanticleers in 2018. He served as the interim head coach for the 2017 season due to head coach Joe Moglia taking a medical sabbatical. In 2018, the Chants’ offense led the Sun Belt and ranked in the top 25 nationally in rushing yards per game, red-zone offense, time of possession, first downs, and both third- and fourthdown conversion percentage for much of the season. CCU finished the year ranked in the top 10 nationally in fourth-down conversion percentage (68.8), fewest penalties (52), fewest penalties per game (4.33), and fewest penalty yards (493). Not only was 2017 Coastal’s first year in the NCAA Division I FBS, but the Chanticleers were forced to play four quarterbacks due to various injuries and for the second half of the season Coastal’s offensive line was the youngest in the nation as it featured two true freshmen, two redshirt freshmen, and a sophomore. Despite those facts, Coastal landed two offensive players on the All-Sun Belt team in running back Osharmar Abercrombie (third team) and wide receiver Malcolm Williams (third team) while offensive lineman Trey Carter and receiver Chris Jones were tabbed honorable mention. Despite CCU ranking seventh in scoring offense (23.7 ppg), the Chanticleers were second in the Sun Belt in red-zone offense scoring 84.4 percent of the time. Chadwell came to Coastal after four seasons as the head coach at Charleston Southern where he finished fourth in the FCS National Coach of the Year voting in 2015 and eighth in 2013. He was named Big South Coach of the Year three times (2013, 2015, and 2016), led CSU to conference titles in 2015 and 2016, and guided the Buccaneers to the NCAA Division I FCS Championship Playoffs in each of his last two years. Over the 2015 and 2016 seasons, CSU was ranked in the FCS national top 25 polls for 22-consecutive weeks in addition to having a seven-week run to end the 2013 season. The Bucs finished No. 6/7 nationally in the FCS in 2015, was ranked in the FCS top 10 for nine weeks in 2016, and finished ranked No. 14/15 in the FCS final polls. In 2016, Chadwell earned Big South Coach of the Year honors for the second-straight year and third time in four years, tying him for the most such accolades in conference history. CSU ranked No. 14/15 in the FCS final polls as the Bucs beat three ranked opponents along the way. In addition to Chadwell’s recognition as the league’s coach of the year, CSU had four players

2020 Sun Bel t Champions named All-America while 12 earned All-Big South honors. CSU was first in the Big South in yards per rush (6.0) with the Bucs also ranking among the nation’s best in rushing offense (266.5, 6th) and scoring offense (33.0, 20th). CSU broke through on the national stage in a big way in 2015, compiling a 10-3 overall record and a 6-0 Big South mark en route to achieving a pair of firsts -- an outright conference championship and an automatic FCS Division I Championship bid. The Bucs finished the regular season as one of just three programs to go undefeated against fellow FCS competition. Chadwell was named a finalist for the second time for FCS National Coach of the Year, finishing fourth in the national voting, and tabbed the Big South Coach of the Year for the second time after piloting a roster that included 13 all-conference selections. The Bucs finished the year ranked a program-best sixth in the STATS FCS poll and seventh in the FCS Coaches poll after reaching the quarterfinals of the FCS Playoffs. CSU was 8-4 in 2014, led the country in time of possession, and ranked 16th nationally in rushing offense. The Bucs’ aggressive defense also excelled and paced the Big South in total defense, rushing defense, and pass defense. Chadwell’s first year at Charleston Southern resulted in him being named the 2013 Big South Coach of the Year and the AFCA Region II Coach of the Year while finishing eighth in the voting for the Eddie Robinson FCS National Coach of the Year award. CSU set a school record for wins during a 10-3 season, climbed as high as No. 12 in the FCS Coaches Poll, spent the final seven weeks of the season in the coaches’ poll, and finished the year ranked for the first time in school history at No. 22/24. CSU led the nation in average time of possession and was among national leaders in turnover margin and rushing offense. CSU shattered several school records during Chadwell’s first year and nine Bucs received Big South postseason awards. Chadwell, a former Buccaneer assistant coach, returned to CSU after head coaching stops at Delta State, going 3-8 in his lone season (2012), and North Greenville, going 22-14 in three seasons (2009-11). After posting a 2-8 record in his first season as a head coach at North Greenville in 2009, Chadwell turned the program around in year two going 9-3. He then led NGU to the NCAA DII quarterfinals with an 11-3 record in year three and the program’s first-ever national ranking, finishing the 2011 season 12th in the American Football Coaches Association DII Poll.

OVERALL RECORD

Chadwell spent five seasons on Jay Mills’ staff at CSU (2004-08) and served as the recruiting coordinator, later adding offensive coordinator duties, before leaving for North Greenville. He helped the Bucs’ program reach new heights, including winning the 2005 Big South Conference title. He began his collegiate coaching career at his alma mater East Tennessee State in 2000. From 2000-03, the former Anderson County (Tenn.) High School star worked with the quarterbacks, tight ends, and running backs while assisting with recruiting and offensive game planning. Chadwell was a four-year letterman at ETSU (1996-99) and was a two-year team captain for the Buccaneers. He received his bachelor’s degree in economics and business education in May 2000 from ETSU and completed his MBA from Charleston Southern in May 2006. Chadwell is married to the former Solmaz Zarrineh and the couple has one son, Jameson, and two daughters, Avery and Soraya.

tHe CHaNtICleer reGImeNt

The Chanticleer Regiment is the marching band of Coastal Carolina University and one of the most visible student organizations on CCU’s campus. The ensemble is one of many housed within the Thomas W. and Robin W. Edwards College of Humanities and Fine Arts Department of Music. The marching band appears at all CCU home football games, selected away games, and invited exhibition performances. Consisting of woodwind, brass, percussion, color guard, and twirlers, the Chanticleer Regiment strives for musical excellence coupled with an exciting visual presentation. Membership is open to all students regardless of academic major. The 2021 Chanticleer Regiment is led on the field by conducting drum majors Dorien Steed and Hailey Cornell, and in line drum majors Diamond Gaston and Kaylie Crawford. The Chanticleer Regiment is under the direction of CCU Director of Bands Garrett Griffin with assistance from Jesse Willis, Greg Tsalikis, and Emily Griffin.

W HAT IS A C H A N T I CL E E R ? A Chanticleer (SHON-ti-cleer) gives Coastal Carolina University one of the most unique nicknames in all of sports. Chanticleer comes from Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales and came to the University when it was a member of the University of South Carolina system. A Chanticleer is a rooster who rules the barnyard with cunning and wit. His competitiveness never wanes as he battles to the end, using his brains to come out on top every time.

DE’ANGELO HENDERSON 2013-16 n

Set the NCAA Division I record by scoring at least one touchdown in 35 consecutive games. The record included all 14 games in 2014, all 12 games in 2015, and all nine of his games in 2016 (he missed three games due to injury).

Scored 58 touchdowns over the 35game span (52 rushing, six receiving).

Was just three touchdowns shy of the NCAA all-division record (38 by Danny Woodhead of NCAA Division II Chadron State) and could have tied the mark had he not suffered an injury.

Prior to his senior season, Henderson set both Big South and NCAA FCS records by scoring at least one touchdown in 26 straight games (2014 and 2015).

In game two of his senior season, Henderson scored in his 28th-straight game to break the NCAA Division I (FBS and FCS) record previously held by Lee Suggs of Virginia Tech.

GeOrGe F. “buddy” sasser atHletIC Hall OF Fame

Coastal Carolina University’s Athletic Hall of Fame is named in honor of former athletic director George F. “Buddy” Sasser. “It is a fitting tribute to Buddy that his name should be permanently linked with the athletic department’s Athletic Hall of Fame,” said former CCU President Ronald Ingle. “Buddy embodies the highest qualities associated with college athletics — integrity, leadership, and scholarship.” The naming of the Athletic Hall of Fame was part of a series of events leading up to Coastal Carolina University’s 50th-anniversary festivities in 2004. Sasser was inducted in 2003, along with three other Coastal Carolina athletic administrators and student-athletes, in the inaugural class of the Big South Conference Hall of Fame. Sasser served as the Big South commissioner from 1989-1996 and had two stints as Coastal Carolina director of athletics (1986-1989 and 1996-1999). While Big South commissioner, Sasser was responsible for increasing membership, gaining automatic bids to the NCAA Basketball Tournament, and adding basketball television exposure for the League.

The Commissioner’s Cup award, which goes to the institution with the best overall athletic performance for that year, was renamed the Sasser Cup in his honor. He served on the University’s Football Advisory Committee and on the capital campaign steering committee for Coastal Carolina’s Brooks Stadium. A native of Conway, Sasser served as athletic director and head football coach at Conway High School from 1963 to 1970, leading the Tigers to a 66-17-5 record. He was an assistant football coach and assistant athletic director at Appalachian State University from 1972 until 1977 and was athletic director and head football coach from 1977 until 1982 at Wofford College, where he was named 1982 Kodak Coach of the Year for the college division. He joined East Tennessee State in 1982 as head football coach and was named athletic director in 1985. Sasser was Coastal Carolina University’s director of athletics from 1986 until 1989 when he accepted the position of commissioner of the Big South Conference. He returned to the University as athletic director in 1996 and retired in 1999. For his distinguished career in athletics, Sasser was inducted into the South Carolina Athletic Hall of Fame in 2016.

C O a s ta l C a r O l I N a u N I V e r s I t y Coastal Carolina University is a public comprehensive liberal arts institution in Conway, South Carolina that offers 95 major fields of study toward the baccalaureate degree, 27 master’s degree programs, two educational specialist degrees, and two Ph.D. programs. More than 10,400 students from across the country and around the world engage with a worldclass faculty, and they enjoy an inspiring cultural calendar and a tradition of community interaction fueled by more than 177 student organizations. The 19 Coastal Carolina athletic teams compete in Division I of the NCAA as members of the Sun Belt Conference. The University’s mascot is the Chanticleer, a proud, fierce, and quick-thinking rooster derived from Geoffrey Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales. The football, lacrosse, softball, and baseball teams compete in the TD Sports Complex, which houses the award-winning Springs Brooks Baseball Stadium. The Chanticleer baseball team won the 2016 College World Series, the University’s first national championship. The University campus comprises 115 main buildings on 621 acres, including the General James Hackler Golf Course, a public 18-hole golf facility adjacent to campus. Coastal Carolina University is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges to award the baccalaureate, master’s, and doctoral degrees.

MISSION Coastal Carolina University is a public comprehensive liberal arts institution that seeks to develop students who are both knowledgeable in their chosen fields and prepared to be productive, responsible, healthy citizens with a global perspective. To deliver on this commitment, Coastal Carolina recruits highly qualified and motivated students, faculty, and staff from the region, state, nation, and world to create a diverse and dynamic student-centered learning environment. Because Coastal Carolina embraces the teacher-scholar model, it places primary emphasis on high-quality teaching and engaged learning, and it supports faculty research, creative activities, and expert collaboration in the community, state, nation, and world. This focus enables faculty and staff to mentor students in collaborative research, creative opportunities, and internships. To nurture this active learning community, Coastal Carolina maintains a broad range of contemporary technologies, programming, support services, and innovative course offerings and delivery methods. The result is alumni who are well prepared for professional careers or graduate programs in their chosen fields and who continue to be connected to Coastal Carolina. Inspired by its founding in 1954 to serve the educational needs of the region, Coastal Carolina has a tradition of a strong liberal arts core. As such, Coastal Carolina commits its resources to building undergraduate and graduate degree programs of national and/or regional significance in the arts and sciences, business, humanities, education, and health and human services. Coastal Carolina fully embraces its leadership role as a regional center of economic and intellectual resources, lifelong learning, cultural and recreational opportunities, and athletic programs. As Coastal Carolina executes this mission, it recognizes its responsibility to be a role model to the community by assuring fair and honest treatment of people with whom it interacts and sustainable stewardship of resources entrusted to it; adopting the highest standards of integrity and accountability; and committing itself to excellence through continuous assessment and improvement.

Update adopted by the Coastal Carolina University Board of Trustees on July 19, 2014. Update approved by the South Carolina Commission on Higher Education on Feb. 5, 2015.

This endeavor, named the “Future is Rising Campaign,” raised a record $105 million for SUU. Benson previously served for five years as the 14th president of Snow College in Ephraim, Utah, 72

where he helped raise more private money for the institution during his tenure than had been secured in the previous 115 years of the college’s history combined. Appointed president of Snow College at age 36, Benson was the youngest college president in the history of the Utah System of Higher Education. Benson’s background includes membership on the Council of Presidents of the Association of Governing Boards of Universities and Colleges, on the Presidents’ Trust for the Association of American Colleges and Universities, and on the Task Force on University Partnerships of the American Association of State Colleges and Universities.

JOE MOGLIA CHAIR OF ATHLETICS/ EXECUTIVE ADVISER FOR THE PRESIDENT Joe Moglia is the chairman of the board at TD Ameritrade, and in 2019, became the chair of athletics and executive adviser to the president at Coastal Carolina University. After more than 25 years as a football coach, on Jan. 18, 2019, Moglia stepped down as the head coach of the Coastal Carolina University football program after six seasons on the sidelines in Conway, S.C., posting an overall record of 56-22. After a 29-28 overall record, including going just 1-9 versus the two best teams in the Big South, over the five years prior to Moglia, the Chanticleers went a combined 51-15 over his first five years at the helm of the program, including winning four conference championships (2012, 2013, 2014, and 2016*) and qualifying for the NCAA Football Championship Playoffs all five seasons. During that span, the Chanticleers finished each year ranked in the top 25 nationally and ranked as high as the No. 1 team in the country in both 2014 and 2015.CCU also won the program’s first-ever postseason game in 2012, won a league-record 12 games and reached the NCAA quarterfinals in 2013, and went on to match both those feats the following season in 2014. The Chants were ranked No. 1 in the FCS for eight straight weeks in 2015 and went 10-2 in 2016, their first year in the transition to the FBS level. Moglia was named the Big South Conference Coach of the Year twice and the 2014 AFCA Regional Coach of the Year. He was twice named a finalist for the Liberty Mutual FCS National Coach of the Year and was a three-time Eddie Robinson FCS National Coach of the Year finalist before winning the award as the nation’s best coach in 2015. A 2017 inductee into the Vince Lombardi Hall of Fame and a recipient of the Vince Lombardi Hall of Fame Award for his career, he was also awarded the 2015 South Carolina Football Hall of Fame Humanitarian award. He coached five Walter Payton/FCS National Offensive Player of the Year finalists, four Buck Buchanan/FCS National Defensive Player of the year finalists, 33 All-Americans, and the 2014 FCS Athletic Director’s Association Top Collegiate Linebacker in Quinn Backus. While Moglia is like most coaches in putting a true emphasis on the three phases of the game — offense, defense, and special teams — his outside-the-

box thinking on how to achieve this goal with his staff was visionary. On that level, he has just one standard “Be A Man” — better known as “BAM” — where his student-athletes are expected to “stand on their own two feet, take responsibility for their actions, always treat others with dignity and respect, and recognize they will live with the consequences of their actions.” Niccolo Mastromatteo received the 2013 National Football Foundation National Scholar-Athlete Award and was a post-graduate scholarship recipient; Alex Ross was named 2015 CoSIDA Division I Academic All-America; 10 players earned CoSIDA Academic All-District honors; and 14 received a spot on the National Football Foundation Hampshire Honor Society. In 2017, Coach Moglia’s program was recognized, along with Northwestern, by the National Football Foundation & College Hall of Fame with 18 players seeking a second degree, the most graduates of any school nationally. Over his tenure, almost 50 players pursued their graduate studies while still eligible. Moglia was a football coach for 25 years, but it was certainly not a traditional 25 years. He began his career as a coach for 16 years, moved to the business world for more than 20, and returned back to coaching in 2009. In the business world, he was at Merrill Lynch for 17 years before becoming the CEO at TD Ameritrade in 2001. When Moglia stepped down in 2008, shareholders had enjoyed a 500 percent return. In 2009, he became chairman of the board. Today, TD Ameritrade has client assets of $1.3 trillion and a market cap of $35 billion. When Moglia arrived in 2001, the market cap was $700 million. Moglia has also been inducted into the following Halls of Fame: Vince Lombardi Hall of Fame; National Italian American Sports Hall of Fame, Man of the Year; Omaha Business Hall of Fame; Archmere Academy Sports Hall of Fame; Fordham Preparatory School Hall of Honor; Fordham Preparatory Sports Hall of Fame; and the Fordham University Founders Society. He has received the Ellis Island Medal of Honor and the Sharp Trophy for Leadership and has been honored by the Columbus Citizens Foundation, the Irish Arts Center, the American Institute for Stuttering, and the Stuttering Association for the Young. He is the recipient of three honorary doctorates and has already had a book written about his life. He is also the only author in the world who has written two books published on both investing and football.
