The Rise of Coastal Carolina Football | How they went from FCS Contender to One of the Best G5 Teams 

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.

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

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 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

@@halomaster9640 yeah right

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.

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.

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.

Definitely got something planned for them

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.

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.

Found the guy that got triggered by Coastal lol

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

Dale, what does this video have to do with NDSU? Nobody is questioning the success of NDSU. Coastal was a good FCS school there is no question about that, however the fact that the chants were able to find success in FBS so quickly is really impressive.

No one said CCU was a better FCS team lol. We got knocked out of the playoffs by NDSU back to back years. Difference is just money and location. NDSU would need to build an entire new stadium, because the FargoDome just isn’t big enough to sustain growth into an FBS power. They also aren’t a great geographic fit into any conference. And if they were to join the AAC or the MWC, then that’s also a ton of money on travel (Don’t forget that it’s not just football either, but even the smaller sports like tennis or softball that will be traveling 1,000s of miles each week just to play a conference match). That’s money they likely don’t have or they don’t think it’s worth it. Why move up when you can dominate the FCS year in and year out? They still get tons of exposure winning nattys every year. The Missouri Valley is also a much better fit for them geographically.

Dude, Coastal started playing football in *2003.* By then NDSU had won 5 DII championships.

NDSU wouldn't be on their unprecedented run if App, Marshall, Ga Southern, Boise State, UCF, WKU, and the rest of the G5 were still banging around FCS. And now with JMU, SHSU, and Jax St on their way to the FBS, the continued Bison success will be less of an impressive feat. The winners of nearly one third of all I-AA/FCS national titles since the subdivision was created will be playing in the Sun Belt East in 2022.

The scary part about NDSU Football is multiple National Championships at The D2 and then D1AA or D1FBS levels. And it's only bound to improve.🤔🏈B.W.
