The Coastal Carolina Chanticleers played much better than their 3-9 record last year may indicate. The Chanticleers had a poor record in close games, but often were in those contests in their first year in the FBS. Making the Chanticleers debut even more impressive was the fact that coach Joe Moglia missed the entire season due to illness. Now that Moglia is back, Coastal Carolina can truly get to the business of establishing themselves in the FBS.

Once again, the Chanticleers will feature a high-powered passing game. Kilton Anderson has the edge to start at quarterback this fall, and his receivers and Moglia’s system figure to give him an edge. Malcolm Williams and Chris Jones give him a pair of deep threats. Add two top recruits at wide receiver into the mix, and suddenly the Chanticleers look like they can have something special in the passing game. Coastal Carolina has an experienced line to open things up for the offense.

The Chanticleers struggled on defense last season. The team lost several shootouts in which the offense did its job, but the defense did not. Marvin Sanders is the new defensive coordinator who will have to figure out how improve the unit so it is not a liability this season. Even an incremental improvement can help Coastal Carolina pick off a few more wins this season. Still, the Chanticleers are not too far away from where they need to be to move up into the top half of the Sub Belt.
