Earlier this week Coastal Carolina University made an unexpected move by hiring former CEO of TD Ameritrade, Joe Moglia, to be its 2^nd head coach in the history of the program. The move has sent a variety of emotions through the local community as Moglia has not been a college football coach since 1983.

In 2008, Moglia made the decision to leave his position as CEO of TD Ameritrade and called up University of Nebraska Athletic Director Dr. Tom Osborne about his desire to be a head football coach. Dr. Osborne invited Moglia out to a practice to sit in and see if this was something he was serious about pursuing.

When Moglia made the decision that this was in fact where he wanted the next step in his life to go Dr. Osborne introduced Moglia to head coach Bo Pelini. The two hit it off and an agreement was made for Moglia, just like Osborne did in his first two years at Nebraska, became an unpaid assistant and assumed the role of Executive Advisor to the Head Coach.

In this role he would assist Coach Pelini with teaching players the life skills necessary to be successful in life outside of football. In addition, Moglia would have the opportunity to reconnect with today's football schemes and how to run a successful college football program. According to Osborne over the next 18 months Moglia attended every practice and every meeting held by the University of Nebraska coaching staff.

In 2010 Moglia received Nebraska's prestigious U.S. Grant Sharp Admirals Trophy for Leadership and Service present by the student athletes. In that same year he made the move to his first head coaching position with the Omaha Nighthawks in the United Football League.

Dr. Osborne, Coach Pelini and the rest of the Nebraska staff feel fortunate to have had Moglia as part of their staff for a year and a half and feel he brings the skills necessary to be a successful college football head coach.

Earlier this week Coastal Carolina University made that a reality. Today on The Drive with Aaron Marks on ESPN Radio 93.9 The Team, in Myrtle Beach, SC Nebraska Athletic Director Dr. Tom Osborne will join Aaron for about 12 minutes at 5:30 to talk about this move made by CCU. Osborne will give his thoughts and opinions as an AD and former coach at the Division I level on the qualifications Moglia brings and why he feels he brings a positive outlook and a pedigree of success to the program.

Tune in today on 93.9 The Team (the flagship station for Coastal Carolina University) to hear Dr. Tom Osborne give his thoughts and insight. He will also discuss the match up between the South Carolina Gamecocks and his Nebraska Cornhuskers in the Capital One Bowl next month.
