I will buy season tickets the moment they go on sale if we can manage to hire Chris Smith.

doesn't strike me as having the charisma or recruiting necessary. Back the Brinks truck up to MetLife. Or give the shot to former HC position coach Michael Toerper. Roper is a solid choice also. More I think about Reno the less I like that choice. I think we need to retain Anthony DiMichele for recruiting and his personality as well as Scott James. I wouldn't be upset if OCDK went to JMU Why not Reno? Proven success at the FCS level as a head coach. Agree. Retaining DiMichele is a must..

Retaining DiMichele absolutely a key to trying to keep this recruiting class as together as possible.

Is JMU the big time? Seems like the medium-time, at best. Chesney needs success at JMU's level in order to be a serious candidate for a top P5 job. Wonder what Duffner's thinking right now....

Given the huge jump Chesney just took to FBS head coach, the whole coaching world knows this FCS job is a home run. Hoping HC doesn't squander this opportunity by limiting the scope of their search. Don't need to ignore all the talentedFCS OC/DC's outside the HC/PL/IL/NEC community. Not to mention D-II head coaches.

How about a co-head coaching setup? Bring back Duffner cuz he knows how to succeed at HC but is too old and have Lockbaum be his co-coach. Since we have no idea wtf will happen, it's fun to think of wild scenarios.

Nunzio campanile not a bad option either. Could see him trying to make the leap to an fcs head coach. A modern day Gerry Faust? No thanks.

Nuncio is the interim head coach at Syracuse and will be coaching them in the bowl that he earned as the head coach on the road at Wake. Come on!

A successful Ivy coach has tenure, makes good money, see Tim Murphy. Teevens left Dartmouth, but returned. Cozza was head coach at Yale for 31 years.

Come on! Here is the post high school coaching resume for this guy who has a 2-7 record as an interim college coach: 2018 Rutgers (RB) 2019 Rutgers (TE / interim HC / OC) 2020–2022 Rutgers (TE) 2022 Rutgers (interim OC / QB) 2023–present Syracuse (TE / interim HC) We want a coach who knows about winning in college and he hasn't shown that he can. I can only assume he got the interim head job at Rutgers because he was local guy who had run a progam (albeit a high school one) previously. Interestingly, they sent him back to position coach the following season. I wouldn't give him the Holy Cross job just because he beat 4-8 Wake Forest to slide into the RoofClaim.com Bowl. (perhaps the silliest of the silly bowl game names)

Most important right now is retaining current student athletes, freshman especially, recruits for next year, and staff

And Coach Carter was straight from D-III. Both Coach Carter and Coach Chesney were winning head coaches and proven recruiters prior to (respectively) turning our lost program around and knocking it out of the park.

The winning head coach route is very attractive. Willing to make an exception for Chris Smith.

Retaining DiMichele absolutely a key to trying to keep this recruiting class as together as possible. Would love to see us retain Coach Grautski as well, but I would not be shocked to see him follow Coach Chesney to JMU…

S&C coach often times the second most important guy on a staff.

Not sure if this has been mentioned, but with BC having been under contract with HC, I expect that any suitor would have had to ask KH’s permission to speak with BC. Wouldn’t KH have immediately assembled a team to prepare a list of potential replacements?

Wouldn’t KH have immediately assembled a team to prepare a list of potential replacements? You think that’s when Kit would begin compiling a list of names? Kit should have known the day he accepted the AD position that Chesney moving on at some point was going to happen. If he didn’t, after last season he surely knew it was going to happen. I don’t think ADKH is a dope. I imagine he’s got a list of 4-6 guys he wants to speak with in short order.

I was essentially suggesting that KH would have activated a plan with the most updated names. Let’s hope!

Given that Coach Duffner is referenced in this thread, I do not think he would mind if I shared these sentiments that he shared with me in the course of discussing today’s developments.
“Larry, I’ve been around football my entire adult life as a college player and coach at various levels and now for the last 25 years in the NFL, I can tell you categorically there is no better place to coach college football than at Holy Cross. There is just something truly unique about Holy Cross and the people are of such high quality that make coaching at Holy Cross so special. I am not just saying this. It’s true.”
Stated very matter of factly. Says it all.
LET’S WIN!! ✝️👊🏻🏈👊🏾✝️
