Just this afternoon I found myself in conversation with a freshman from Myrtle Beach and was able to drop into the discussion not only that I knew the Coastal Carolina team was known as the Chanticleers but also that they had such behavioral issues. He was clearly astonished that I was so well-informed, all thanks to having seen your post. Thanks for posting this piece, UD!

This is just ONE of the messes he inherited from his predecessor. Without excusing any of this, I can say, “Give him time; he'll get it fixed.” I used to teach at Coastal Carolina, and I know President DeCenzo personally.
