In this world of speculation, misinformation and disinformation I am not sure what any of us know or think we know is true anymore
But if this transaction happens and it messes up the roster and current recruiting class, we should not be as gracious as I am sure many will want to be in response.
This has the potential of being the best back to back recruiting classes in over 50 years. If it falls apart and the wrong players hit the portal it could take us back to the pre-Chesney days.

Some are self manufacturing the stress. I am one of them. I know.

Oh I am ready to not be so gracious. Especially if there's some sort of dual announcement with Kit as their new AD which has been floated around quite a bit on the JMU side. Benefit of the doubt and all that, but something stinks here.

It will not We are ready to move but the timing stinks with recruits and current players who, outside of speculation on social media and other schools reaching out, are in the dark

There has been every rumor except Pope Francis being named the new coach at HC. Let's wait and see.

That's because Pope Francis' expertise is in futbol, not football, down in Argentina.

I bet for every fan having a nervous breakdown there is a recruit who is relaxed and secure in his choice of Holy Cross regardless of who the head coach is. If you jump teams because the coach gets a well deserved promotion to a higher level, you are in danger of the coach at the new school moving on after a year and so forth.
Regarding response to Coach Chesney, what exactly is expected of him before he has a signed contract at a new school? I can't think of anything different than what he is doing that would improve the situation.

Is HC's Athletics Dep't./ Football program in danger of being stripped bare by a bigger athletics Dep't/FBS program? Will HC athletics lie in ruins after being raided by a bigger school with more money to spend? Tell me, no. It can be done fairly easily especially with a single athletic program with the portal.

Why would JMU use Lynchburg? It's almost 2 hours South of Harrisonburg. Shen Valley airport is very close in relative terms to JMU

Isn't this, unfortunately, how college athletics works? We hired BC in late December, I guess we likely screwed with Assumption's recruiting class. If we are not going to be gracious about him exiting under these circumstances, we shouldn't have been as excited about him entering under the same.

Extremely disappointed, and very tired of HC being used as a prom-date placeholder until a prettier girl comes along. If this comes to fruition, I’m done.

How often are we actually lucky enough in a major sport to have a coach successful enough hired away to a much bigger school? Duffner in 1991. Willard (sort of) to go help his buddy who got into trouble at Louisville.

I have to disagree - this is simply the world of college athletics - the responsibility is clearly on the shoulders of ADKH to keep the momentum (that Chesney built) going with the right hire Congrats to BC on moving his career on this positive trajectory

Gun to my head, I don't think ADKH is here past 2024. He's likely following (F)HCBC to JMU in my mind. I feel like the smoke for that move is already building as well.

Winning is winning, I don't care where you are. If he got paid a million bucks at Assumption he'd still be there. I honestly believe HC has a decision to retain him. I'm sure we could pay him significantly more and it wouldn't make a lick of difference in the HC year end statements.
