In recent coaching carousel seasons, Jamey Chadwell has been a popular name to be considered. For whatever reason he has yet to earn a Power Five job offer but his move to Liberty might have opened the door for him in this cycle.
Hugh Freeze took over the Flames program in their second year and he won enough games to earn his way back into the SEC. This season, Jamey Chadwell has Liberty at 10-0 in his first season. They are also in their first season within Conference USA after five years of playing college football as an Independent.
The Flames are the only team with a perfect record in the conference and will play New Mexico State in the title game hosted in Lynchburg, Virginia. Could Chadwell follow in his predecessor’s footsteps and take a Power Five job prior to the 2024 season?
There are several Power Five jobs open right now and one in particular might be best suited for the Liberty head coach. Chadwell has won nine or more games in every season since 2020. Since that time, he is a combined 40-6. He also took Kaidon Salter and turned him into one of the top passers at the Group of Five level.
If the Bulldogs want to go back to being an explosive team on that side of the ball, don’t overthink it and call Jamey Chadwell.
