Coastal Carolina Chanticleers football statistical leaders

The Coastal Carolina Chanticleers football statistical leaders are individual statistical leaders of the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers football program in various categories,[1] including passing, rushing, receiving, total offense, defensive stats, and kicking. Within those areas, the lists identify single-game, single-season, and career leaders. The Chanticleers represent Coastal Carolina University in the NCAA's Sun Belt Conference, where they will be a transitional member in 2017 and a full member starting in 2018.[2]

Josh Norman holds Coastal Carolina's single-season record for interceptions, with eight in 2009. He is second on the career leaderboard.

Coastal Carolina began competing in intercollegiate football in 2003.[1] This means that full box scores are available for all games, and there is no pre-modern era with incomplete statistics like there is for many college football teams. However, there are more entries on this list in more recent years, as the Chanticleers have played in more games per season, giving players more chances to accumulate statistics. Regular seasons in the NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision, in which Coastal participated from the program's creation in 2003 through 2016, normally consist of 11 games, instead of the 12 games allowed to Football Bowl Subdivision teams. However, two aspects of the FCS season structure allow the possibility of more games:

  • First, the NCAA allows FCS programs to schedule 12 games instead of the regular 11 in years when the period starting with the Thursday before Labor Day and ending with the final Saturday in November contains 14 Saturdays. During Coastal's tenure in FCS, this happened in 2008, 2013, and 2014.
  • More significantly, the FCS conducts a championship tournament, currently known as the NCAA Division I Football Championship. From 2003 through 2009, the tournament involved 16 teams. It expanded to 20 teams in 2010, and to its current 24 teams in 2013. Currently, a team that advances to the FCS championship game will play either four or five games, depending on whether it receives a first-round bye.

Under original head coach David Bennett, the Chanticleers were able to schedule 12 regular-season games once, reached the FCS playoffs twice in nine years, and averaged 11.3 games per season. Under Joe Moglia, head coach from 2012 until going on a medical leave for the 2017 season, the Chanticleers were able to schedule 12 regular-season games twice as an FCS program, reached the FCS playoffs all four seasons in which they were eligible (due to their FBS transition, they were ineligible for the 2016 playoffs), and played in 13.2 games per season.

These lists are updated through the end of the 2016 season.
