Charleston Southern University football team practicing on the field.
Charleston Southern University has announced the hiring of Seth Strickland and Landon Martin to bolster their football coaching team. Following a challenging 1-11 season, these talented coaches aim to lead the Buccaneers into a new era of success, focusing on rebuilding the program for the upcoming 2025 season. Strickland will serve as Offensive Coordinator, bringing extensive experience from previous coaching roles, while Martin will take charge of the Offensive Line, known for his leadership and player development skills.
Exciting news is buzzing around Charleston as Charleston Southern University has announced the hiring of two dynamic coaches, Seth Strickland and Landon Martin, to strengthen their football program. This fresh wave of talent comes just after a challenging season for the Buccaneers, which saw them finish with a disappointing record of 1-11. Head Coach Gabe Giardina is hopeful that these new hires will help turn the tide as they prepare for the 2025 season.
Stepping into the role of Offensive Coordinator is Seth Strickland, a seasoned coach with a passion for the game. Strickland previously made his mark at Anderson University, joining as their Offensive Coordinator in February 2022. His experience has varied across several prestigious programs, including time spent coaching at IMG Academy, where he was instrumental in securing a remarkable 9-1 record and a spot in the national rankings.
Additionally, Strickland once showcased his skills with the Orlando Apollos in the Alliance of American Football, leading them to an impressive 7-1 record. Strickland’s first coaching steps were at the prestigious University of South Carolina, where he learned under legendary coaches Steve Spurrier and Will Muschamp for a solid six years, gathering invaluable insights and experience along the way.
With a background in political science from the University of South Carolina, where he also excelled as a three-year football letterman, Strickland proves to be a multifaceted addition to the staff. His strong character and commitment to faith align perfectly with Giardina’s vision for the team, making him an ideal choice to lead the offense into a new era.
Joining Strickland is Landon Martin, who takes the position of Offensive Line Coach. Martin arrives at Charleston Southern after an accomplished stint at Battle Ground Academy in Tennessee, where he helped his team finish as state runner-up. This experience, coupled with his previous roles as run-game coordinator and assistant head coach, demonstrates Martin’s rich background in coaching and player development.
Martin’s journey into coaching started at his alma mater, Newberry College, where he not only played but also captained the team in his senior year. His tenure there laid the groundwork for future successes, including championships in the South Atlantic Conference. Martin’s record and reputation as a strong leader make him a valuable asset for nurturing talent on the offensive line.
The duo is expected to blend their vast experience and connections within the South Carolina recruiting landscape to bolster the Buccaneers’ roster. This new coaching staff is now finalized, signaling a fresh start as they tackle the upcoming offseason with energy and purpose. With a focus on redeeming the team’s fortunes, fans are eagerly anticipating what these talented coaches will bring to the field.
Overall, Charleston Southern University’s commitment to enhancing their football program is both commendable and exciting. As Seth Strickland and Landon Martin prepare to step up their game, the community looks forward to rallying behind the Buccaneers and cheering them on to greater success!
