During the 2014 season, Patenaude's offense had two All-Americans in Alex Ross and Chad Hamilton. Ross would go on to win the Big South Conference's Player of the Year for the 2014 and 2015 seasons. In 2016, Coastal Carolina averaged 37.3 points per game despite using six different starting quarterbacks due to injuries.
