IMHO The players are bigger, faster and better, especially on D.

The most Defenses at the P2 and little p2 level can forces offenses to play in much smaller windows.

Hokie_N_NC • 11/06/25 10:33 AM ET
Hasn't shown he can win on the P4 level. Never even been a P4 assistant

No, it doesn't.**

If Cignetti went 6-6 last year Chesney wouldn't be on our radar

CC had been an assistant at P4 multiple stops including Bama**

15 yrs ago. The game's a bit different now.
hoosnowahokie • 11/06/25 02:11 PM ET
Please tell me what’s meaningfully different about COACHING P4?

Hokiefied • 11/06/25 01:18 PM ET
He would be a rookie P4 HC.
vtlee • 11/06/25 01:03 PM ET
The search committee is hiring the GM. Not the coach.
Hokiefied • 11/06/25 01:18 PM ET
I've seen his teams play twice
crazylane • 11/06/25 12:36 PM ET
I'm sure he's an awesome ball coach. He's just never had to deal with
vtlee • 11/06/25 12:46 PM ET
Yet for all of that, his team is more than competitive w/ P4 teams
marcbvtgm • 11/06/25 01:39 PM ET
This is why VT is hiring a GM & building a football organization **
Hokiefied • 11/06/25 01:04 PM ET
The next HC will hire the GM and create the organization**
vtlee • 11/06/25 01:07 PM ET
He will be a part of it with the committee. That’s already been stated.**
Hokiefied • 11/06/25 01:19 PM ET
Are you still "Team Pry" Lee?**
AirborneHokie96 • 11/06/25 12:51 PM ET
Are you still "Team Fuente"?**
vtlee • 11/06/25 12:53 PM ET
Yes. Of course. Good guy that got lied to over & over at VT within VTAD **
AirborneHokie96 • 11/06/25 02:11 PM ET
Doesn’t mean it’s the wrong decision. **
st_andrew • 11/06/25 12:11 PM ET
Just pointing out he hasn't "shown he can win ANYWHERE"**
vtlee • 11/06/25 12:18 PM ET
Neither had, say, Urban Meyer. But he punched up everywhere he had been.
marcbvtgm • 11/06/25 01:48 PM ET
I agree, I’m all in for Chesney He’s won everywhere he’s been. As the

“Pay-for-play” will still persist at P2 football schools despite Rev share
AirborneHokie96 • 11/06/25 12:34 PM ET
Dabo agrees. Not working out for him either, but he agrees

I'm thinking in the future you'll see fewer HS players recruited to the...
EDGEMAN • 11/06/25 12:10 PM ET
You'll still see ~25 HS players recruited and signed by blue bloods.
marcbvtgm • 11/06/25 01:52 PM ET
Are you saying total, or cumulative?**
EDGEMAN • 11/06/25 02:03 PM ET
Huh? Per class.**
marcbvtgm • 11/06/25 07:03 PM ET
No problem. I read that Franklin would bring a bunch of PSU players...
EDGEMAN • 11/06/25 11:45 AM ET
Maybe his agent is negotiating a settlement on the buyout w PSU right now **
NoHuddle • 11/06/25 11:59 AM ET
Somewhere between 1 and 6, if I were to guess.**
BG Hokie • 11/06/25 11:48 AM ET
Chesney is still coaching, so even though we both like him... we wait.
VTizzle • 11/06/25 11:01 AM ET
I hear ya but JF name recognition would bring in better recruits year 1
VaPoly07 • 11/06/25 11:01 AM ET
Maybe a little better recruiting. But most will be elsewhere in 2-3 yrs.**
marcbvtgm • 11/06/25 11:54 AM ET
Benjamin Franklin name recognition
GCHokieof91 • 11/06/25 11:25 AM ET
Name recognition is overrated IMO.**
BG Hokie • 11/06/25 11:22 AM ET
Programs that chase name recognition are often the dysfunctional ones.**

marcbvtgm • 11/06/25 07:06 PM ET
Wouldn't be that confident we could get Chesney; other schools interested.
hokie77 • 11/06/25 10:53 AM ET
If ya got NIL $$$, that's half the recruiting game if not more**
