2022 Episode 7: Sitting Down with Joe Moglia - a podcast by Travis Justice

Joe Moglia has a lot of things to say about the NCAA, name, image, likeness, and the transfer portal. The Doc Talk Podcast is the perfect place for him to speak freely and unfiltered. The former Coastal Carolina Head Coach recently penned an article for Forbes where he discussed whether or not the NCAA should break up. You can read it by clicking HERE. This podcast goes from 0 to 100 in about 30 seconds and keeps the pedal to the metal for almost an hour and a half. 

Moglia’s college football coaching career is unlike most everyone in the profession. Back in the 80s, he had a choice to make; move his family to Miami to be an assistant and possible Defensive Coordinator for the Hurricane.  Or take a job with Merrill Lynch and start making money to support his family. At the time, assistants were barely making enough to put bread on the table, let alone a roof over your head.

Moglia made the right choice. After 17-years at Merrill Lynch, he became the CEO at TD Ameritrade. He would become Chairman in 2009 until Charles Schwab acquired the company in 2020. At close, the combined company was worth $100 BILLION with client assets of $7 TRILLION. When Joe arrived, these numbers were $700 million and $24 Billion.

Moglia never lost the itch to get back in the football game despite his magic with leading teams and companies in the financial markets. So in 2008 he took an internship, so to speak, with Bo Pelini and the University of Nebraska. That experience fueled his fire to become a college head coach. 

In 2012, Joe became the Head Football Coach at Coastal Carolina, and in his first five seasons, his teams went to the National Playoffs all five years, and he was Conference Champion 4 times. His overall record was 56-22 for a .718 winning percentage. In his last 11 years of college coaching, he was a part of 8 championship teams. He has also received multiple Coach of the Year honors, including the Eddie Robinson National Coach of the Year award. In addition, he was the recipient of the Vince Lombardi Award and was inducted into the Lombardi Hall of Fame. He was also selected to the Big South Conference All-Decade Team.

Moglia lives in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, and the weather is almost perfect! He is no longer on the Chanticleers sideline. He is Chairman of Fundamental Global Investors and Capital Wealth Advisors and Chair of Athletics, and Executive Advisor to the President at Coastal Carolina University.
