I think expecting Chesney......

to copy Cignetti at UCLA is a reach. I am not saying he may not have success, just that UCLA has more negatives to overcome. My stance on Whit is clear but, I do not believe a failure to pursue either JMU coach is near the Top 10 of Whit's most egregious mistakes.

I’ll stir the pot with this post… is Indiana going to be the new Alabama?

Whit could have hired him instead of chasing Pry 🙈**
VPI63 • 01/09/26 09:54 PM ET
Yeah but VT wouldn't have funded the machine like IU.**

Oregon has several times more 5* and 4* than IU.

I saw a recent comparison about Rivals rating of the teams in the playoff
BigDaddyHokie • 01/10/26 12:28 PM ET
Do you think that would still be the case if VT had hired Chesney instead

All the more reason that question will be asked at some point if he does
VTHokie2000 • 01/10/26 12:44 AM ET
That is a big IF......
2hhoop3 • 01/10/26 09:34 AM ET
That is my point though because the narrative Hokie fans has been told is
VTHokie2000 • 01/10/26 12:22 PM ET
I think your reasoning is flawed.....
2hhoop3 • 01/10/26 12:46 PM ET
According to an article I found, Indiana started investing in its football

Hiring Pry instead of Cignetti is like the Titanic backing up and hitting

Other than Cuban who are the deep pockets at IU? **
HwoodHokie • 01/09/26 09:45 PM ET
Cook family, Eli Lilly millionaires, Simon Family, Ken Nunn, John Cougar

Don't they have the largest alumni base in the country?
VTBen26 • 01/09/26 10:06 PM ET
Yes...including 2 of my kids. Huge alumni base**
AirborneHokie96 • 01/09/26 11:18 PM ET
Always thought it was PSU but looks like IU just passed them. In any event
HwoodHokie • 01/09/26 10:57 PM ET
John Cougar Mellencamp?**
KCHokie2 • 01/09/26 09:55 PM ET
Nah - He played for Indiana State**
Tidewater Hillbilly • 01/09/26 10:06 PM ET
He actually enrolled at IU first but hated it and dropped out**
HwoodHokie • 01/09/26 10:59 PM ET
He's found a home....
JRHokie • 01/09/26 09:37 PM ET
Probably**
