It’s been rumored that when CDM was fired last year, VU considered only the following candidates: Lance Liepold, Jeff Monken and Clark Lea. Notably absent from consideration were Jamey Chadwell and Will Healy. Knowing what we know now, do you think VU made the right choice?
At the time, I thought the best coach out there was Jamey Chadwell, and apparently he was interested in the job. I believe if he was hired, assuming he brought assistants and some players, VU would’ve won (in addition to the existing wins) ETSU, USCe, Mizzou and possibly UT. The problem, however, is if that was the result, it would reinforce the if-can-win-at-VU-he can-win-anywhere narrative.
