Team History

In 2011 they hired Joe Moglia, the former CEO of TD Ameritrade, to be its new head coach and boy did it work. They won 3 consecutive conference titles in his first 3 seasons then joined the Sun Belt and Jamey Chadwell took over. Chadwell led them to some remarkable seasons that garnered national attention, and now Tim Beck is currently trying to live up to that standard.
