* – Ineligible for postseason play due to FCS-to-FBS transition rules
The 2017 Coastal Carolina Chanticleers football team represented
Coastal Carolina University in the
2017 NCAA Division I FBS football season. The Chanticleers played their home games at the
Brooks Stadium in
Conway, South Carolina, and competed in the
Sun Belt Conference. They were led by interim head coach
Jamey Chadwell, who also served as offense coordinator, while permanent head coach
Joe Moglia was on leave due to medical issues.[1] The season marked the Chanticleers' first year in the Sun Belt and the FBS, and their second of a two year transition period. They would not become bowl-eligible until the 2018 season.[1] They finished the season 3–9, 2–6 in Sun Belt play to finish in a tie for 10th place.
