None of these big names strike me as better coaches than Chesney.

Would be ideal if a new coach could bring a bunch of guys with him from a P2. Coaching wise I don’t think we could do better than Chesney. Watch JMu, good DL&OL, play hard, tackle extremely well, well rounded on all sides. They have an average or worse QB, or offense would be very good. Now that I promote them, ODU will probably upset JMU this weekend.

1947Sunbowl • 10/16/25 05:07 PM ET
wild that whit is going to be allowed to make this hire
VaPoly07 • 10/16/25 09:26 AM ET
Neither Whit nor Sands is going to make the call.
Chris ColemanAdmin • 10/16/25 09:58 AM ET
Hope not. I like John in many ways, but...
VictoryTurkey • 10/16/25 05:59 PM ET
i guess they have to hire somebody**
bigbadbird • 10/16/25 09:17 AM ET
He'd be a complete idiot to walk away from that buyout since his seat
reestuart • 10/16/25 09:11 AM ET
It would be an improvement over Pry
Hokiefied • 10/16/25 09:01 AM ET
No. Much worse than Pry.**

tallahasseehokie • 10/16/25 10:44 AM ET
what HC is going to come here without knowing who the next AD will be?
VaPoly07 • 10/16/25 09:42 AM ET
The premise is they will have a big hand in the GM hire
Marooned • 10/16/25 10:31 AM ET
Hoping Not!
ForgeHokie • 10/16/25 07:30 AM ET
Honestly no one is the right hire!

They steal our Women's Hoops coach AND we will pay them $37M for Stoops?**
Tuckahokie • 10/16/25 06:52 AM ET
His buyout to hire him isn't $37 million.
Chris ColemanAdmin • 10/16/25 08:04 AM ET
Good point, but he would be crazy to walk from the $37M for lesser $ job**
Jethro Tull • 10/17/25 07:25 AM ET
Makes you wonder if some UK booster is floating this
Marooned • 10/16/25 08:52 AM ET
Gotcha…as a side I like our new WBB Coach way more than Brooks**
Tuckahokie • 10/16/25 08:20 AM ET
Why?**
Gator Hokie • 10/16/25 09:14 AM ET
No apparent nepotism. Doesn't limit his coaching to two players
saret • 10/16/25 10:40 AM ET
Well she is prettier............... :)**
santafe • 10/16/25 09:46 AM ET
How do we know this isn’t Stoops’ agent putting this out there?**

As well as everyone else's agent.**
