When Chester first got the job all I heard was how great he was going to be. I got done playing in 2016. Loved my time at GWU. But am just baffled at how Chester’s time has been pretty brutal. The big south conference is embarrassingly bad now. Especially with Campbell now gone now You don’t have liberty, you don’t have coastal anymore. But we’re out here losing series to app, losing a midweek to a&t and now dropping Friday to st joe?
From his lack of leadership I’ve seen from the couple games I’ve been too, to how he just wants to promote “swag” to poor alumni outreach. If we want to win games at any point in the future this guys not the answer. He is a d2 coach running this like a d2 program.

Chester had best get it together by conference play. This is an interesting post. Does this mean that you feel Chuck Burch ran a D1 program like a D2? He was the AD for the vast majority of our D1 era… wouldn’t this also implicate Frank Bonner? I’d also think that you’d probably agree that to run a “D1 program” you have to move on from coaches that don’t win?

92-92 record at GWU coming into the season. Coming off of a 31-25 record last season. Finished tied for 3rd in the Big South. (Campbell was First)
5 games into a new season. App is in the Sun Belt and should beat GWU 2/3.
The season is young. Lets see how this all plays out.

Not from a team hyped as a contender in another d1 conference. Bottom level Sun Belt. Blowing a 7-1 lead is problematic against anybody. Pitching seems to still be the issue. Should be expected when you lose two thirds of the rotation to transfer. And it’s hard to win with any level of consistency with a brand new roster every season. So, yes patience. But 1-5 against this schedule should not be expected.

The athletic program hasn’t been funded at or near normal low major d1 levels since the jump. Doesn’t matter who’s in charge of the operation. Fighting the same battles.
