Jamey Chadwell (born January 10, 1977) is an American football coach and former player, who serves as the head coach and offensive coordinator at Coastal Carolina; he also served as interim head coach in the 2017 season while permanent head coach Joe Moglia was on a medical leave.[2] He was named Head Coach of CCU on January 18, 2019. Chadwell was previously the head coach at Charleston Southern University for four seasons (2013–16), North Greenville University for three seasons (2009–2011) and Delta State University for one season (2012). He grew up in Tennessee and attended East Tennessee State University where he played quarterback from 1995 to 1999. He began his coaching career in 2000 at East Tennessee State before taking an assistant position at Charleston Southern University in 2004. He won several coach of the year awards in 2020 after leading his team to a 11–1 record.

Coaching career[]

After his playing career ended, Chadwell began his coaching career at his alma mater East Tennessee State in 2000. He remained as an offensive assistant with the Buccaneers through the 2003 season when he left to take a position at Charleston Southern.

Head coaching career[]

After serving as an assistant offensive coach with the Charleston Southern Buccaneers, on February 6, 2009, Chadwell was hired as the head coach at North Greenville University.[3] During his three-year tenure with the Crusaders, Chadwell had an overall record of 20 wins and 14 losses (20–14).[4] He also led the Crusaders to their first all-time appearance in the NCAA Division II football playoffs following the 2011 season.[5] In the playoffs, Chadwell led the Crusaders to the quarterfinals where they lost to Delta State 28–23.[6]

On January 2, 2012, Chadwell was hired by Delta State to succeed Ron Roberts as the head coach of the Statesmen.[7] Chadwell resigned as head coach of the Statesmen after only one season on January 17, 2013, to take the same position with Charleston Southern.[8][9] During his one season at Delta State, he compiled an overall record of 3 wins and 7 losses.[8]

On January 17, 2013, Chadwell was formally introduced as the third-ever head coach at Charleston Southern.[9]

On January 8, 2017, Chadwell was named the new offensive coordinator at Coastal Carolina.[10]

On July 28, 2017, Chadwell was named interim head coach for Coastal Carolina as head coach Joe Moglia took a medical leave of absence.[11] The school announced on January 5, 2018 that Moglia had been medically cleared to return to full-time coaching and would reassume the head coaching position.[2]

In 2018, the NCAA released a detailed report concerning numerous NCAA violations across the Charleston Southern athletics department that occurred during Chadwell's tenure as head football coach. The athletics department was found to have incorrectly certified 55 student athletes across 12 sports over a six-year period, and football players were found to have used scholarship funds to purchase electronics and jewelry from the campus book store. Ultimately, the NCAA sanctions included vacating 18 wins from the 2014 and 2015 football seasons and the 2015 Big South Championship, in addition to several vacated wins in other sports. Also vacated were three wins over crosstown rival The Citadel, games during which CSU used ineligible players.[1]

Coastal Carolina[]

On January 18, 2019, Chadwell was formally introduced as the third all-time head coach at Coastal Carolina.[12]

Following the 2020 regular season, Chadwell was named the winner of the 2020 AP College Coach of the Year Award; the first time a coach from the Sun Belt Conference has won the award, and just the third coach from outside the Power Five conferences to do so.[13]

On February 14, 2020, it was revealed that Chadwell more than doubled his salary with a new agreement that he signed in December. His base salary is $850,000 for the 2021 season and includes a $50,000 pay increase every year until his current contract ends at the end of 2027 (Dec. 31, 2027). Chadwell's increased pay makes him the second highest paid coach in the Sun Belt Conference. By the time his current contract ends, Chadwell will have made $1,150,000, which doesn't include any bonuses.[14]
