I have been in the boat of trying to make a real upside type hire, take some real risk to try and catch lightning in a bottle.  I am still in the boat.  However, my concern with Chesney would be on the recruiting front.  If he's mining the jesuit/ catholic preps he could run into multiple issues while trying to recruit at Syracuse.  #1 the HS coaches being fine sending their FCS type talent to Holy Cross but when it comes to P5 type schools would they feel similar or are they aligned with the BC types.  #2 on the same front the parents of said kids would much rather see their kids go to a Boston College type school and to a lesser extent ND which we don't really compete with anyway. He will be recruiting at a different level if he jumps to Syracuse

"Hey Ches, we liked you when you were recruiting our tier 2 kids but not our P5 types we have relationships for that too. I got this kid with offers from Fordham, Cornell, and Toledo, how about this kid?"

Just a thought, I originally was much higher on him and didn't see this as an issue but the more I think about it, I am not so sure. kind of going the other way on him now.
