Would Chesney have taken the PSU job if offered last year? Yes.
Would he take it now? I doubt it. Why would he want it - UCLA’s AD/etc seem to be providing much more alignment than PSU’s, he moved his older parents out to LA, etc.
I love people who are decades out of college and think they know exactly what kids nowadays think is cool or not cool. Yes, I'm sure if MC started wearing a dorky visor like Kirby Smart or Lane Kiffin we'd secure 10 5 stars within a week!
