Bleach Blonde Mullets, WWF stunts, and 5'9'' Offensive Lineman, The Coastal Carolina Chanticleers took college football by storm in 2020.

2 top 25 wins, which happened to be the first 2 in program history.

The Chants were ranked as high as No. 12 in the CFP Rankings, which is also a Sun Belt record.

After a few minutes of listening to Coach Chadwell, it's easy to see, this "overnight" success didn't simply happen overnight. It was all part of a plan: You build a culture on values and it's not easy. "And sometimes...you suffer for what you love."

From North Greenville, Delta State, Charleston Southern and now Coastal Carolina, Chadwell has found a recipe to win with less. Coaches across the country have become enamored with how he’s married a number of offensive schemes together, and created a system to fit his team, but the recent success is the result of much more than just a high-powered Offense. 

"You can coach fear into your guys, or you can coach love into them. Teams who win, aren't afraid to fail. Failure is a part of growth." If you happened to tune into a Coastal Carolina game this year, it was evident, these guys weren't afraid to fail.

We talk about the culture they've developed, offensive scheme, and the big debate...Moe's or Chipotle?
