I can't imagine Chesney leaving for anything less than an FBS head coach position (since he doesn't qualify for an OC/DC FBS position this is not genius insight on my part). At the same time Head Coach PL to Head Coach FBS seems quite a leap. (I do realize Duff left one of the nations very best FCS programs - at the time - to become HC at Maryland 30-ish years ago.) The idea of Coach Chesney not qualifying to be an OC/DC has appeared on Crossports before. He qualifies to be a coordinator on the N.E. Patriots and I would hire him at an FBS school. Wouldn't he be a better pick to be an FBS coordinator than a less successful FCS head coach who happened to be a coordinator sometime in the past or a current FCS coordinator on a less successful team? I doubt he's interested in being a coordinator but he's well qualified, imo. |

He's probably not going to be the next coach at Auburn (PL to a perennial Top 10-15 program WOULD be quite a leap), but I'm pretty confident that if BC had an opening this offseason Chesney would be a top, top candidate for that job. There will probably be over a dozen FBS openings in 23. If BC opens it’s probably because Chesney is interested. The overall quality of candidates are not great so a Chesney will appeal to many programs and BC would be one of them. Coach has done a tremendous job but when FBS starts calling and offering life changing money it’s tough to not look at it. Don’t like it but it’s the reality of the situation |

Serious question: why would being the head coach at BC be a better job than being the head coach at HC? I assume the money is quite a bit better, but what about everything else?

Imagine succeeding at BC (and getting paid while you're at it) and the next opportunity that comes your way is Penn State or Notre Dame. Or the New England Patriots. |

Succeeding at BC, football-wise, has proven to be challenging. |

Given the delusions of grandeur up at BC, can’t imagine they’d deign to hire a FCS Patriot League head coach (successful as Chesney is) for their ACC football team.
To be fair , PL head coach to Power 5 head coach is essentially a no-go from the get-go no matter the Power 5 school.

To be fair , PL head coach to Power 5 head coach is essentially a no-go from the get-go no matter the Power 5 school. I can't think of any coaches in the last 30 years that have gone from the PL to head coach of any FBS program -- Some of the best ones had to take stops in between. Pete Lembo (Lehigh to Elon to Ball State) Dave Clawson (Fordham to Richmond to Bowling Green) Joe Moorhead (Fordham to Penn State OC to Mississippi St) Not only is it unprecedented to jump straight to and FBS head job, but going to a Power 5 job might be a real stretch. Was Dick Biddle rumored for the Duke job at one point? That said, I have zero doubt that Chesney could get a MAC-level job if he wanted it (but I don't think he does). |
