I think Chesney just got the the VT coaching job today ..
Half time defensive adjustments… we haven’t seen that in a decade. 🤔 ** Edited by VPI63 at 10/18/2025, 6:37:22 PM

He seems to be a good choice. I certainly would be good with that choice.

I hope he's the next VT football HC

The more I hear about him, the better I like him. And he's more likey to
Stay here if he becomes successful. We missed out on Cignetti. Lets not miss this one.

I think we have to ignore this as a deterrent. If he leaves for a better
Job, we don’t owe him money and we are in a better spot financially and out public profile. The worst part is we lose a lot when he leaves but so that is just the nature of the business now.

Hire him immediately! JMU just crushes everyone they play
With very few “Star” players. Their QB Alonza Barnett is a junior and could transfer here to join Chesney next season. Bonus: he knows how to utterly destroy ODU. We could use some of that around here.

Their DC was a big hire this year. Last year at Alabama co-DC
If we Get Chesney he would be a good addition too as DC and if we can't get Chesney ths guy deserves a look as HC (not saying he's top alternate). My fear is Chesney may have made himself too expensive today.

If we want a good coach, we aren't going to get one for $5M
We're going to have to pay market value.

Thought we had the $8M bag of money for the next coach?

asked this before
I asked that question sometime back and didn't get much feedback. A football coach happy with the AD and an AD happy with the football coach can't be but so bad. As much as I like football I also want to see the softball and women's basketball teams to be treated fairly. At first glance Roan looks well rounded.
