Jamey Chadwell, Liberty's new coach, will get a seven-year deal that averages more than $4 million per year, according to sources. The announcement is expected later in the day.
The past three years, Chadwell has been one of the best at his job. Chadwell is over 30 in five years. He has been a head coach before.
Chadwell's last game as coach of the Chanticleers was a 45-26 loss to Troy. Sources said that the new head coach of Coastal Carolina would be Tim Beck.
In 2020 Coastal Carolina started 11-0 and was ranked 10th in the AP poll. Chadwell won 11 national coach of the year awards that year as Coastal became one of the best stories in the sport.
One of the most innovative offenses in the game is Chadwell's, with a running quarterback as a focal point.
Hugh Freeze left for auburn and the Liberty job became open. Liberty agreed to pay Freeze an average of $5 million a year in a new deal before he left.
The Liberty program is considered to have the most resources in Conference USA. Liberty has been a full time program for five years. In his four years there, Freeze was 34-15.
