I'm not for or against hiring Chesney, but his record at JMU is a bit misleading. He's 18-5 in two seasons but of the 23 games, only five opponents had a winning record for the season. He's only won two games against winning teams. Some here are excited because he comes from Cignetti's coaching tree, but so did Sunseri and how did that turn out?
But most telling will be their next game against Washington State. I've watched every WSU game this season because the quarterback's family lives in my neighborhood. They are legit although somewhat inconsistent. They beat San Diego St. and narrowly lost to two possible playoff teams, at Mississippi by 3 and at Virginia by two on a fluke play. Stay tuned.
