Bob Chesney is what I think represents the best choice.
jonnyhawk • 10/16/25 06:06 PM ET
Mike Young has been a good hire. He wants to be at VT and we don't have to
TDVick • 10/19/25 09:50 AM ET
Chesney is my pick. Pay him double what he is making now and go forward...**
Hokie_N_NC • 10/17/25 03:11 PM ET
I fail to see how more $ = better coaching
Jethro Tull • 10/17/25 07:19 AM ET
You want Cignetti or Tom Herman? You think they have same sticker price?
Techsupport • 10/17/25 11:57 AM ET
With more $, Brent Pry would have never walked through the tunnel.**
Techsupport • 10/17/25 11:50 AM ET
Would much rather pay players more and coaches less**
AirborneHokie96 • 10/17/25 08:35 AM ET
This WaPo sports reporter agrees…**
BackInTheBurg • 10/17/25 08:57 AM ET
It doesn't work that way. Player rev share is capped**
Techsupport • 10/17/25 11:48 AM ET
For now it is. But if the schools want more control, they need to make

Players receive 48% of NFL revenue as wages...NCAA FB will move in that
AirborneHokie96 • 10/17/25 09:00 AM ET
Good grief. $$ don’t guarantee success. But you won’t have it without it.

This is all regret from missing out on Cig

#1 is total BS. We don't need a personality. We need a football coach.
King of Hokies • 10/16/25 09:38 PM ET
We don't need a coach with a "VT personality" whatever that is, but we do

King of Hokies • 10/17/25 12:43 PM ET
Part of the “blame” can be attributed to the various school

The commitments are there and the coach has to meet and greet. But the
King of Hokies • 10/17/25 01:05 PM ET
For reasons that I do not understand, the money people always want to hang
jrc3rd • 10/17/25 10:18 AM ET
Probably because the coaches don’t mind hanging out with
RJHokie • 10/17/25 10:59 AM ET
And the very best college coaches tolerate them. But that's it.**
King of Hokies • 10/17/25 10:31 AM ET
Agreed. Those days are over. As much as we loved them, they're over.

Bud dropped 2 massive turds on Fuente. First, he stopped recruiting in 2017

Agree** ◄

We handled Buzz's personality and for the right reason. If Whit went that

God thank you

Yep, between that and some with the obsession that any hire must have a VT

Tuckahokie • 10/17/25 06:04 AM ET
Thank you some just don't get it!
RiverVT • 10/16/25 10:58 PM ET
Chesney is not even remotely qualified
NOFX • 10/16/25 06:49 PM ET
Chesney is a fine football coach
Hokie1992 • 10/16/25 10:38 PM ET
Like Curt Cignetti? Saban, Dabo, Frank, Stoops, Franklin, Gundy, Key,.....
Concord Dan • 10/17/25 12:28 AM ET
I feel like those are all the exceptions to the rule**
CPVT3 • 10/17/25 06:31 AM ET
Yea but he could get his brother Kenny to sing National Anthem for free! **
uber hokie • 10/16/25 09:45 PM ET
You have an interesting definition of "success" for Holy Cross football.
VTHokie2000 • 10/16/25 07:35 PM ET
Fair enough, let's say he was the best coach in HC history then
NOFX • 10/16/25 07:44 PM ET
VT hired an assistant coach last go around. Not even a great assistant.
reestuart • 10/17/25 09:36 AM ET
Actually, Chesney isn't even the best HC in Holy Cross history. That honor
VTHokie2000 • 10/16/25 07:48 PM ET
Yeah, we get our coaches from Wofford**
hokeyhokie • 10/16/25 07:47 PM ET
That's not true at all about Holy Cross. Here are the numbers...
Chris ColemanAdmin • 10/16/25 07:28 PM ET
Ok fair, but one of the best coaches in Memphis history didn't work out
NOFX • 10/16/25 07:46 PM ET
Fuente was only 10th all time in wins at Memphis, and as KOH says, VT
reestuart • 10/17/25 08:20 AM ET
He didn't work out because we wouldn't let him work out**
King of Hokies • 10/16/25 09:42 PM ET
You and the bring back Stiney crew should hang out**
CPVT3 • 10/17/25 06:32 AM ET
If we want to aim higher, go for the winningest ex NFL Patriots coach?

It's mostly a crap shoot.

fordham • 10/17/25 05:26 AM ET
Well - that sucks. I will likely be in the ground before VT finds a coach

A crap shoot is correct. There are plenty of example of coaches going to

uber hokie • 10/16/25 08:01 PM ET
Agreed. Could Chesney be great? Sure, but it's a very low floor too
NOFX • 10/16/25 08:01 PM ET
Something to keep in mind about Chesney is that he has a winning record at
VTHokie2000 • 10/16/25 08:49 PM ET
Having a winning record at a P4 school isn't exactly an accomplishment
NOFX • 10/16/25 09:12 PM ET
Actually I won't kick myself if things didn't work out for him at VT.
VTHokie2000 • 10/16/25 09:23 PM ET
Esp when there's plenty of coaches with P4 success out there (Fitz, Mullen)**
NOFX • 10/16/25 07:47 PM ET
Fitzgerald currently has an 11-game losing streak.
st_andrew • 10/16/25 07:56 PM ET
Thank you. The continued discussions of Fitzgerald are a) nauseating,
King of Hokies • 10/16/25 09:45 PM ET
A guy who had a winning record at the worst job in the B10
NOFX • 10/16/25 09:55 PM ET
He's a sick individual who won even less than Brent Pry his last 4 years
King of Hokies • 10/16/25 10:04 PM ET
The courts - and a big check from Northwestern - say otherwise. **

No they don't. They just say that there was no proof Fitzgerald knew. The
