SRS SU 43rd , JMU 41

[Millhouse]

Kinda funny. Both guys everyone argued about this summer are doing pretty well. Combined 15-5

I think it worked out for the best for all involved. Chesney inherited an 11 win team at the G5 level and that's a much lower lift than inheriting a 6 win P-4 team. We needed someone with Fran's recruiting clout to get the roster turned over quickly and that wasn't happening with Chesney.

Lots of people wanted Cignetti too.

Happy with Fran Cignetti woulda been a Homer also

Who is Fran Cignetti and why is he a Simpson character?

He wasn’t coming here. He made that clear.

Maybe. I’m happy with Fran. But Chesney is a hell of a football coach.

Is there a citation for that assertion?

Chesney is going to end up at a Florida or FSU type program next. He may be the next Urban Meyer type. I would suspect he's going to move on in a few years to his final tier destination school. If Fran jumps to a higher program i hope Wildhack left him with a good feel for SU

It's more that he didn't leave a good feeling with us during the process. I could see him doing well at a school that recruits itself though -- he's a great X's and O's coach. JMU has a lot of instate talent to recruit so I suspect he will do better there than he would have at SU.

He got talent at Holy Cross. I’m not sure the narrative of “Chesney isn’t a recruiter” is true.

He might not be on level of Fran, but I do think he would have done well here too.
