If I was a young, ambitious coach and had to choose between Syracuse/BC or JMU, I would pick JMU in a heartbeat.  While Syracuse and BC are in a power conference, it’s going to be incredibly difficult to compete at a level high enough to progress to a program that can compete for national championships annually.  At JMU, a good coach should win enough to be able to land their next job at a school which has more resources and should be competing for championships (as much as I hate it, Virginia Tech is an example).

Syracuse is the better option for two types of coaches:
1) Older coaches who probably won’t be that attractive to bigger programs due to age (like Dino)
2) Someone who think they bring unique qualifications and will be able to unlock the advantages of Syracuse’s history and energize a fan base into a level of success literally no one in college football thinks is possible at Syracuse anymore (like Fran).

Anyone taking the BC job has to know you’ll never be successful enough there to progress to a better job, and at some point you’ll have a couple bad seasons and will be fired.  That is a place careers go to die at this point, anyone thinking that’s a better spot than JMU is not thinking long term.

I doubt Chesney is upset about this development and would prefer to be at BC over JMU.
