An emergency medical procedure will keep Coastal Carolina football coach Joe Moglia from attending the upcoming Sun Belt Conference gridiron media days event.

According to a prepared statement issued by the conference, Moglia recently underwent surgery to remove a precancerous nodule in his trachea. “Doctors wanted it removed as a precaution,” the Sun Belt Conference release said.

Associate head coach Jamey Chadwell will represent the Coastal Carolina football team at festivities set to begin Sunday in New Orleans.

Previously head coach at Charleston Southern, Chadwell was named CCU’s associate head coach and offensive coordinator in January.
