I'm over it now. I've said from the beginning
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
vtlee • 11/06/25 12:09 PM ET
No, it doesn't.**

If Cignetti went 6-6 last year Chesney wouldn't be on our radar
dbc05 • 11/06/25 02:16 PM ET
CC had been an assistant at P4 multiple stops including Bama**
vtlee • 11/06/25 02:07 PM ET
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 12:54 PM ET
IMHO The players are bigger, faster and better, especially on D.
VTCALS72 • 11/06/25 01:41 PM ET
Fair but I see that as applied Xs & Os
Hokiefied • 11/06/25 02:15 PM ET
And what if you have the players to execute at x speed but the D can do x-?**

GM**
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
hokie18 • 11/06/25 11:40 AM ET
Look around many many examples of that statement being
fordham • 11/06/25 12:44 PM ET
Look at the dirth of fired blue blood coaches succeeding at non-blue bloods**
marcbvtgm • 11/06/25 01:50 PM ET
who you want now, you will most likely get**
Windows NT • 11/06/25 11:40 AM ET
For Chesney, we could have a small problem...
The_VT_Rock • 11/06/25 11:37 AM ET
Also, Teel mentioned they're almost winning too much
crazylane • 11/06/25 12:38 PM ET
PSU brought in 28 high school players / 8 portal transfers...
Techsupport • 11/06/25 11:30 AM ET
“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
marcbvtgm • 11/06/25 11:51 AM ET
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 11:56 AM ET
To wit, Belechick**
MDHokie79 • 11/06/25 12:47 PM ET
To wit, Mack Brown.**
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**
