2015 Coastal Carolina Chanticleers football team
The 2015 Coastal Carolina Chanticleers football team represented Coastal Carolina University in the 2015 NCAA Division I FCS football season. They were led by fourth-year head coach Joe Moglia and played their home games at Brooks Stadium. They were in their final season as a member of the Big South Conference. They finished the season 9–3, 4–2 in Big South play to finish in second place. They received an at-large bid to the FCS Playoffs where they lost in the first round to The Citadel.
The Chanticleers joined the Sun Belt Conference in July 2016, initially as a full but non-football member. The football team will begin a transition to the NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS), joining Sun Belt football in 2017 and gaining full FBS membership and bowl eligibility in 2018.[1]
