According to multiple reports, Koenning has been removed as Assoc. Head Coach for Defense at North Carolina. Could this actually fall into place for us?
Here's a tweet from Bruce Feldman:
Bruce Feldman ✔ @brucefeldmancfb
Vic Koenning is out as assoc. head coach for defense at #UNC, per source. Wouldn't be surprised to see him re-surface w Neal Brown at #Troy
He's currently making $250k at UNC.

His record since leaving Troy hasn't been the greatest... I just don't want another Bolt type of situation.

It will be interesting if we bring Vic back. It wouldn't be the first time he was rumored to be coming back to Troy. Instead of Vic, I think this was when we brought in Coach Bolt back.

Koenning + Sumrall. Might be a beautiful relationship.
Of course they will only perform as well as the players will on the field. Quite possibly that was an issue at UNC. I don't know their situation up there.

He might have been good outside Troy. But his last year at NC throws up red flags for me.

I don't know what or who you are hearing from, but you might want to ask them to speak up so you can understand them.

Even longer if the wins don't come right away as well. Must show patience with this process, won't happen overnight (or one spring/summer camp session).

The checkbook is still controlled by others with a lot more authority.
