Great move but it appears Kit may have as big an ego as FADNP. Time will tell! I see nothing in the announcement that would justify this statement. He went out of his way to praise the coach and thank the President and others.

Isn't that mostly the definition of Twitter these days. As the saying goes - any press is good press.
I'm not so sure I agree that Kit is built that way - time will tell, but not going to judge the guy on no personal knowledge of him and off of a couple of tweets - none of which I am seeing the same thing as crusader12 or bfoley82.

Certainly great news!!! I really hope that the contract has a provision/clause in it that states that "should some big school come and scoop up our coach, fine, but you owe us $$$$" say $5 Million, pick a number!!!
This is something that is common practice at many colleges!!!

From what I can tell every twitter post by everyone on the planet is "look at me and where I am or doing"

Why in the world would you make a post about the athletic director at a school you did not attend and do not support?

Why in the world would you make a post about the athletic director at a school you did not attend and do not support? I am just agreeing with the original poster. I don't see other AD's posting pictures from visiting a high school or teasing a contract signing but go on.

I'm looking forward to when Kit speaks more off-the-cuff and doesn't come off as if every sentence has gone through the cliche-machine, but don't really sense any ego here. Kit knew priority #1 was extending Chesney when we came on board and he got that done.

So, you are monitoring other athletic directors' social media accounts as well? You really need to seek some professional help

Great news! And hopefully a sign that we finally have a competent AD after two complete swings & misses by Burroughs with the last two jamokes.

You really need to seek some professional help Well, since I deal with so many schools yea I follow many athletic directors. Literally my job to know what is going on with my clients. Here is Vicky at Yale twitter.com/vchun?s=21Here is Driscoll's at Providence twitter.com/pcbobdriscoll?s=21Just what I have seen is Kit is focused on himself more than the student-athlete but that is what Crusader was originally saying. Time will tell.

If, within the post, Kit is focused on a Holy Cross matter -- but the post is focused on Kit, does that mean that the post is actually focused on Holy Cross since Kit is focused on Holy Cross even though the post's focus is Kit?? That's a mind-bender there...

Not a week goes by where I don't want to ask a healthy plurality of this board, "how's that stock portfolio of GE, AT&T and Kodak worked out this century"? Maybe some former Blockbuster Video holders as well?
Great day to be a Sader!! (or as my wife describes herself "a friend of the program")

This is fabulous news for the Holy Cross football program ! I hope people will support the Fueling for Momentum initiative that is now underway. Having committed funds for a five year pledge in the quiet phase, this extension signing now proves that we can make a difference at our beloved alma mater. Kudos to Kit and Vince in advancing administrative support to Coach Chesney....
It is a Great day to be a Crusader !!

I'd say more but I'm busy organizing my cassettes. Age has very little to do with it. It's more what professor Corey Robin has termed and authored "The Reactionary Mind"...I have many friends and clients in their 60's and even 70's that are more forward thinking and knowledgeable about innovation/disruption as any of the Millennial Crypto/Reddit bros.... But back to football, what this does for the current roster, recruits, staff, alumni and all stakeholders is so important! Literally almost every incoming 2022 frosh has posted this across social media with a lot of "LFG"!!

Great news...though as others have stated, he could be plucked away tomorrow, this at least seems to solidify his position at HC and gives him the ability to completely focus on the program here for the time being.

If so I hope HC can harness it to drive athletics forward. If someone is driven to succeed and actually does, the fact that some of the motivation comes from ego is not a big problem. I wouldn't mind rolling my eyes at the ninth time an AD uses the word "I" as he presents the ninth PL championship trophy of the academic year.

For BBC, this contract extension begins July 1. Former ADMB had to include the increased cost of the contract in the budget for the athletic department that was put together late last year. ADMB hung around long enough to still be on campus when the BoT met some weeks back and finalized the budget. It is likely that the budget includes more money for the assistant coaches. From the strategic plan: Parsing language in the first bullet, the PL represents the peer programs salary levels, the Ivy League and the CAA (football) would represent the aspirational programs.

Bucknell should get their own wunderkind and help propel PL FB forward.
