Is this really happening?

Pat Kelsey is taking Chris Mack’s previous Louisville coaching job and Chris Mack is taking Pat Kelsey’s Charleston job.

Strange times.

I saw another report of it

My initial thought is maybe Charleston is set up to be in a job that Mack can do well at for 2-3 years and then a bigger school comes calling? It may be an easier route to a better program than taking a low tier job at a P5 school.

Also, being a famous millionaire in Charleston would probably be a good time. I bet he is already shopping for a dock for his boat.

Well, unless things have changed there, he will be placing it in a slip at a public boat dock. The inner sanctum in Charleston aren’t very receptive to Yankees joining their yacht club.

Kiawah would welcome him. No problemo.

That's the opposite of a tough start. That team was horrendous.

He did get a former CoC player to join him I saw somewhere earlier, so I'm sure some of the better guys on that team will follow him. I love the Mack hire for College of Charleston, funnily enough there's rumors of them applying for membership in the A10, can't think of a better guy to help with that transition. Plus like everyone mentioned above, Charleston SC is a great place to live when you have money, it'll be a relatively low stress environment at a budding mid-major power.

Great point. And not a bad place at all to spend time - quality or otherwise.
