CCU has its football coach back. How Joe Moglia feels about his return to program

Joe Moglia is back.

The Coastal Carolina football program once again has its four-time Eddie Robinson FCS National Coach of the Year finalist leading the team.

Moglia, 68, has returned from a more than five-month medical sabbatical that was taken to treat a condition that was causing inflammation and damage to his lungs.

“I couldn’t be more excited about rejoining my staff and team,” Moglia said Friday. “From Aug. 1 through the rest of the year, I only met with them three times, and especially the first two were incredibly emotional for me. It wasn’t easy watching the team on game day from either the press box or on television.
