IMO this upcoming season might be our most crucial season in Troy FBS history. The past two years were the overture but now we really have to make some noise - the next two or three years (and esp this year!) will define the future of this program.
Why this year? Because we finally have everything in place:
- facilities: new state-of-the-art endzone building which will be one of the best among the G5
- coaches: one of the best coaching staffs G5 money can buy
- recent success: marquee win over LSU, bowl wins, Top25 ranking, exciting last minute wins (vs Southern Miss, Akron, App St, Ark St, etc); all this has generated fan interest
If we can build on this, beat either Boise St or Nebraska and win most other games, manage to crack the Top 25 again and repeat all of this next year (vs Southern Miss and Missouri) - and vs NC State in 2020 then this program could become the Top G5 program in the South (minus the FL schools) and Top5 in the nation - and all this within the next two or three years. All these games are winnable. We don't even have to go 12-0, we need 10 wins per season and upset some of these P5 schools (and get ranked consistently).
Most likely we will lose our coaches soon, and UAB and USA are going to build new FB stadiums which will help them to attract better talent (and steal recruits from us) - so we really need to make sure that we do all of this over the next three years. We now have the coaches, facilities, favorable schedules, and recent success - we really need to use all of this to our advantage!
