A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

TO CONGRATULATE JOE MOGLIA, COASTAL CAROLINA UNIVERSITY (CCU) HEAD FOOTBALL COACH, ON BEING NAMED 2012 BIG SOUTH FOOTBALL COACH OF THE YEAR.

Whereas, the South Carolina General Assembly is pleased to learn that Joe Moglia, Coastal Carolina University (CCU) head football coach, was named the 2012 Big South Football Coach of the Year, as voted upon by the league's head coaches and selected media; and

Whereas, Coach Moglia, also one of five finalists for the Eddie Robinson FCS National Coach of the Year Award, in his first year led Coastal Carolina to a share of the Big South Championship, and the Chanticleers earned the Big South Conference's automatic berth to the NCAA FCS playoffs; and

Whereas, led by Coach Moglia, CCU, having finished with an overall 8-5 record despite playing one of the nation's most difficult non-conference schedules, ranks among the nation's top twenty-five in rushing offense, passing offense, and scoring offense. The Chants set a Big South record by winning five consecutive games by 20-plus points and set a CCU record by rushing for over 200 yards in six straight contests; and

Whereas, Joe Moglia, who has enjoyed successful careers in both business and sports, served as TD Ameritrade's CEO from 2001 to 2008. Under his leadership, the company had a five hundred percent return on investment, and the firm's market cap increased from $700 million to $10 billion. Mr. Moglia presently serves as the company's chairman of the board; and

Whereas, before entering the business world, Mr. Moglia was a football coach for sixteen years. He won two Ivy League championships as defensive coordinator at Dartmouth, set defensive and special teams records at Lafayette, and turned around two high school programs. Prior to joining CCU, he spent two years successfully coaching football on the college level and one year coaching semi professional football; and

Whereas, now in his twentieth year as a coach, Joe Moglia has been inducted into two high school halls of fame and the Omaha Business Hall of Fame and has received the Ellis Island Medal of Honor, Columbus Citizens Foundation Leadership Award, National Italian American Foundation Special Achievement Award in Business, American Institute for Stuttering Lifetime Achievement Award, and National Italian American Sports Hall of Fame's Man of the Year award; and

Whereas, he also owns the distinction of being the only person to publish books on both football and investing, including The Key to Winning Football: The Perimeter Attack Offense (1981) and Coach Yourself to Financial Success: Winning the Investment Game (2005), while contributing to numerous national football coaching journals. He was a keynote speaker at the 2011 American Football Coaches Association and 2010 National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics; and

Whereas, the members of the General Assembly, appreciative of Joe Moglia's gifts as both football coach and business leader, take great pleasure in recognizing him on this, his latest accolade, the 2012 Big South Football Coach of the Year award. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:

That the members of the South Carolina General Assembly, by this resolution, congratulate Joe Moglia, Coastal Carolina University (CCU) head football coach, on being named 2012 Big South Football Coach of the Year.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be provided to Coach Joe Moglia.
