Joe Moglia, former head coach of the United Football League's Omaha Nighthawks, has been hired as the head football coach at Coastal Carolina University, President David DeCenzo and Director of Athletics Hunter Yurachek announced Dec. 20  in a press conference held at Adkins Field House.

"I am excited to have a man like Joe Moglia lead our football team," DeCenzo said. "His proven success on and off the football field will be a great asset to Coastal Carolina University, its football program and our community.  His passion for the game and its players, his knowledge of the game, and his strong desire to succeed are perfectly aligned with the mission of our athletics program. He has all the ingredients that will take our football program to waters uncharted."

George Glenn, former head football coach at Cape Henlopen, will travel with Moglia from Omaha to assume the position of director of football operations at Coastal Carolina, which plays in the Big South Conference.

Mike Gallagher, a former Cape assistant coach, was also on the Omaha Nighthawks staff. Mike will be a position coach and recruiting coordinator at Coastal Carolina.

Moglia, a native Delawarean and longtime friend and business partner of Glenn, will begin his 20th year as a coach in the 2012 season. Moglia is also chairman of the board for TD Ameritrade, a position he has held since 2008.
