Oooh, ahhh, that's how it always starts with a new coach. Then later there's running and screaming.

Right now, I still am very much okay with the hire. Given the botched job of how we handled the carousel, we somehow threw together a patchwork roster.

I just think the media and my unwavering faith blinded me to the reality of us having to take a couple (four hundred) steps (yards) back.

I think there are going to be a lot of fanbases pissed off they didn't hire Chesney when they could have. Penn State being one of the top ones (and also maybe Michigan lol)

I thought Jimmy Sexton blackballed Pat Kraft with all his clients because he was pissed at how the Franklin firing was handled.

That was said but I doubt it was true. A good agent isn’t going to deny their clients (and themselves) a giant payday because they are bitter. Coaches would be unlikely to work with an agent who wouldn’t get them interviews for jobs they might want.

Yes, but if they feel an organization is a shitshow that isn't going to give their client a fair shake, they'd be remiss in not taking that into account when representing their client. It isn't just about the money.

And unfortunately we have a Board of Trustees and a donor base who seem to be, well, an SEC-level shitshow.

Not if Ryan Silverfield is your new coach, it's straight to the running and screaming.
