Coastal Carolina’s New Football Coach is the Billionaire Who Used to be the CEO of Ameritrade
College Football December 20th. 2011, 1:02pm
Joe Moglia has a career arc that is movie-worthy: college degree in economics, then football coach for 16 years. Then he went to Wall Street to work for Merrill Lynch and yada, yada, yada, he became the CEO of TD Ameritrade. During his time on the street, he turned into a billionaire. Then he went to Nebraska to be an unpaid volunteer assistant coach. Then he became the Omaha Nighthawks (UFL) president and head coach.
Next step? Head coach at Coastal Carolina.
Can the 61-year-old Moglia turn Costal Carolina into an FCS power? The program only started in 2003, but it has already won or shared the Big South conference title four times.
Actors who might fit the Moglia role if it is made into a film: Will Patton, Liam Neeson, and Al Pacino.

Moglia: Legend.

Can’t believe Coastal fired this guy after the success he’s had.

since when is Wall Street “the street?”
December 20th, 2011 at 1:11 PM
So will their offense favor the spread or the option?
December 20th, 2011 at 1:12 PM
Based on Moglia’s breasts alone, I’d have Chaz Bono in for a table read.

How fudgy are we being with the dude’s height? Neeson is a foot taller than Pacino.

yes, nothing more compelling than watching a movie abouta bored billionaire who wants to coach football.
the movie would probably be changed into an Adam Sandler comedy vehicle or a will smith/Denzel washington family drama.
although, a quentin tarantino version starring Christoph Waltz would be fantastic.

I’m sure Ameritrade screwed over a bunch of people on his watch, and helped contribute to the subprime mortgage crisis and economic collapse.

The Big South is absolutely horrible. The last time they won it they did so with an overall .500 record. One of those conferences that wouldn’t be represented if it weren’t for the new playoff format, which sucks ass.

I’ve very much enjoyed his work as Patrick.

Someone sounds bitter about Appalachian losing to Maine!

Not really, they have really just been trading on their name to get favorable seeding the last few years anyhow, it’s time for Jerry Moore to retire.

2011: The year of incest on TV and touching kids in real life. Who says our society is spiraling downward?!
December 20th, 2011 at 1:32 PM
CJ – this is the best news for Philly sports fans. Conlin can go molest collies. And apparently children as well.
December 20th, 2011 at 1:33 PM
WTF is wrong with people
December 20th, 2011 at 1:33 PM
Conlin is a fucking miserable prick. Hope he dies in prison.
December 20th, 2011 at 1:34 PM
So much child molestation…
December 20th, 2011 at 1:34 PM
TBL and Dan Wezel think this is bullshit.
Then it obviously is…

Should I put Breaking Bad or Mad Men atop my blockbuster queue?
December 20th, 2011 at 1:41 PM
You know that game that everyone plays at the beginning of the year trying to guess who the next celebrity to die will be? Well I think the new game should be guess the next creepy old man who molests boys will be.
Who wants first guess?
December 20th, 2011 at 1:41 PM
I’m not sure what this is, but the context worries me.
December 20th, 2011 at 1:42 PM
Easy, Breaking Bad. I went through all 4 seasons in 2 weeks it was that good.
December 20th, 2011 at 1:43 PM
Breaking Bad, for sure.

Also, that picture of Conlin doing his HOF speech, he looks like a bloated version of KFC Strogman Col. Sanders

Ha! That is too easy. Thats the equivalent to whoever picked Amy Winehouse in the celebrity death pool.

That’s slightly surprising.
