How Jamey Chadwell's nightmare season as interim coach changed everything for Coastal Carolina
Chadwell's time as interim coach of the Chanticleers five years ago "was the worst year of my life," but it helped create one the best programs in the Group of 5.www.espn.com
Trev wouldn’t dareJoel Klatt mentioned Joseph Smith from Oregon State too. Oy.

I don't think it is important to have "Nebraska ties" as you put it, but I do think it is important to understand the culture of the Midwest and the plains. Whether you grew up in Nebraska, Minnesota or even Texas. That is way different than growing up in the deep south.
I think Chadwell is a good up and coming coach, but he is from Tennessee and has been coaching in SC for a long time. South Carolina and Nebraska are about as far apart culturally as you can get. Lance Leipold, Matt Campbell, even Dave Aranda would have a better understanding of the culture.

I'm from Nebraska and lived in Denver for about 5 years and Kentucky for a year. I'm a pretty conservative guy, and comparing KY and Denver, I definitely had more in common with the KY people I lived around and work with. Despite that similarity, things were certainly different in KY. I can't put my finger on it but I never felt comfortable there, despite our surface similarities.How is the culture in Nebraska that much different than any state in the south? I've spent a fair amount of time in Nebraska, as well as Texas, Oklahoma, and Tennessee, and I guess I don't see it. Thin and Crispy at Pizza Hut tastes the same. Folks are friendly, down-to-earth, and love their football. Pretty decent fishing in all states. Nice golf courses.
I guess I'm lost on the Nebraska culture thing. Is there a secret handshake that I don't know about?

If you define culture as Pizza Hut, football, fishing, and golf, I suppose Nebraska is no different from say Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana :O O:How is the culture in Nebraska that much different than any state in the south?

A bit of nostalgia with a modern twist. Triple option 'FB' trap:
