FBS 2026: The Burning Questions That Could Upend the College Football World—Are You Ready?
- Bob Chesney: 21-6 over two seasons, featuring a CFP berth
- Curt Cignetti: 52-9 over five seasons, including the Dukes’ transition to the FBS
- Mike Houston: 37-6 over three seasons, including the 2016 FCS championship that interrupted North Dakota State’s reign atop that level
- Everett Withers: 18-7 over two seasons
- Mickey Matthews: 109-71 over 15 seasons, including the 2004 FCS championship
While every JMU coach this century – at either Division I level – has won regularly, Napier was an uninspired hire, a washout at Florida (22-23 record) whose best resume point is that he won in the Sun Belt while guiding Louisiana from 2018-21. But it’s very possible the Dukes are so well-funded and in such a geographically friendly spot for a Group of 6 program that it doesn’t matter who’s in charge.
