I'm not at all excited about Wilson. Career RB coach and my German Shepherd could be the recruiting coordinator at LSU. If he's hired, I will support him but I have concerns I hardly see how your German Shepard could be ranked the #1 recruiter in the nation...

As of last night the AD said the new coach would be announced Monday but no later then Tuesday. That told me the new coach has been picked and the contract is being finalized. Waiting for coach LB to coach his last game, say his thank you's and good by's and the AD will stand with the new Head Coach and welcome him and introduced him to the Trojan Nation. Go Troy Trojans and " It's T Time".

Honestly man I think we could get Jesus to coach this team and you would be upset we didn't get the Good Lord himself. You were complaining about gene chizick, I get that. But you wanted an experienced bush league coach. Now we've got a real chance at having the best recruiter in the nation and you're ticked it's not the coach of a peewee team who really knows how to recruit the little up and coming guys we haven't heard about. It's just strange how your brain works, to me.

It's just strange how your brain works, to me. He might make a good head coach. Just hope we didn't make a Weiss Desicion and get Muschumped. That's all. I like an idea of a proven Hc, my opinion as is your opinion. But tell me what offense will Wilson run? What defense? How is he with game desicions, how is he with hiring a staff. That is my concern, not that he can't recruit but recruiting Troy will be different than LSU, hopefully he has the same success and also he hasn't been hired yet, so we will see maybe Monday. And FCS is bush league? We got embarrassed is Statesboro by a bush league coach then. Good thing Oregon didn't think (The HC we don’t speak of) Kelly was Bush league when they hired him from New Hampshire or CMU when they hired bush league Brian Kelly or ULL when thry hired bush league Hudsbeth or Navy when they hired bush league Paul Johnson. The coach at Minnesota came from D2. Blakney was a bush league coach by your definition when we made the jump to FBS as he was a FCS coach.

Hmmmm UAB crushed us 48-10 but Clark is just a high school coach. You want immediate impact...hire Clark and his crew today and watch his top recruits transfer immediately. Why wait for someone to hit the ground hoping we could make the JUCCO Dec 15 deadline? Bring the cream of the crop and fill our needs in swoop. I get that it makes way too much sense for Troy. Hartwell needs to return his agents call from this week. 5 coaches with ties to Troy or played at Troy! From a PR perspective, this would be a massive coup!

Understand if UAB drops football, clause in his contract says no buyout. They have fancy legal wording for it.

We were bush league from the start and he got the program to where it is. Honestly those are 5 or 6 that we know worked. We don't know it will work for us. Same could be said for Wilson, or whoever it is, but winners breed winners. The man has been at LSU, and I know they're winners. Wilson won at the high school level. Isn't that all it takes to please you? Lol I understand wanting someone who can win and is currently showing it, but let's get excited that we're most likely taking a risk at someone who can put some fire into the team. Already telling your team "our next head coach is the best at what he does, and that's recruit" is exciting. Not telling them "hey, we got a coach from Southeast-Northern-West-Central Ontario State University"

If Troy has a chance on a proven winner in Clark and chose to go with a unproven coach, I hope it works out and we don't look back and go ..ooofff!!

Not the best Troy guy or group of Troy guys. I respect your opinion. However, I imagine it is also based on your friendship with the current assistant coaches. I respect that you want them to keep their jobs and Clark would bring his crew. While I hate to see anyone lose a job, these coaches got us in the situation we find ourselves in. They chose the profession. It's time to clean house and rebuild. Clark, Cornelious, Chuck and the others would not miss a beat and have been recruiting. We would have pick of the litter at UAB and they have some kids that can play.....NOW! Again, don't blame you for wanting to protect your friends.

Proven usually means over years!! He's a proven HS coach, for sure. But, he 11-4 JSU. Lost to powerhouses Murray State, TN St., etc. Took 2 ot to beat DII N AL (I think it'd had been years since JSU hadn't had winning season ... Jack Crowe won championships in the OVC, should we call him up?) And, he's won 5 games at UAB. This record does not make someone a "proven" college coach. Potential, yes. If he comes to Troy would he win ... maybe (and I would hope so if he's our Coach!). But it's not as though the Bear has come back in the form of Bill Clark! He's no "slam dunk" ... just like no coach is. The value of a hire isn't determined on the announcement podium ... it'll be a few years down the road.

Winning 5 games at Uab is like winning 7 anywhere else... And they have a strong chance to win 6 this weekend which has only ever happened 1 other time since they became FBS
