Reading through those two threads, it's apparent that the WVU fans posting don't, in general, know much about CNB. While there are a couple of posts that are accurate, most of the folks posting on there think we run an air raid offense, that CNB will be an OK choice if he brings a good OC (we know that he's not going to bring in, and use an OC in the conventional sense, which is what they want), and that he has good defenses (not one person mentioned Coach Vic). The UWV fans posting on those two threads have no idea who CNB, what he does, how he does it, or why it works. This is a perfect example of why fans don't hire coaches 🙄😂

Who is on the short list if Neal Brown leaves? I don’t know but if we want to compete with App St / Drinkwitz & Dorsey we better have a plan.

If Fickle leaves Cincy - Neal is probably their lead candidate. So the domino's keep falling and Neal keeps getting mentioned.
Money talks - BUT - I don't think Neal is leaving. He brings back his best team yet. He gets Southern Miss, Georgia Southern, App State and South Alabama at home (I think). I don't know if we win them all but we certainly have a hell of chance to run the table in conference next year and out of conference too. Mizzou will be better than the Nebraska team we faced and as good as the LSU team from last year.
So, unless Stoops leaves Kentucky, I think NB will be in Troy for 2019!

I would think if CNB is just patient and has the successful season we all think we can next year, that he really could write his own ticket when the time comes. And if met with the same success at THAT future location, he could be a legend. I just don't really see that happening at WVU.

Zero doubt CNB will be a hot commodity if Troy has a dominating season in 2019, but any coach just don’t know what jobs/opportunities will come available. Quite often the window is only open a short time for a coach. That’s why CNB interviewed at KSU and almost had the job offered.

WVU fans love Neal Brown, and Brown does seem to be high or at the top of WVU's short list. Looks like it's his job if he wants it. Early rumors are Neal Brown has already accepted. Nothing official or credible yet. Just rumors.

Yep - I am hearing Neal has accepted the WVU job but not confirmed. I hate it but I don't blame him one bit. Congrats to him and here is hoping for success if it is true.
NEXT MAN UP! Let's go.

So what now? Can we keep Matt Moore, Vic Koenning? What about our recruits?
Promote VK to HC?

Who is on the short list if Neal Brown leaves? Get Jon Sumrall on the phone now. He recruited half our current players. Would retain some staff to keep continuity. Would be hired away in a few years for a big boy job and the cycle continues. Let’s get it done!

My pick would be Matt Moore.

What are the cons to T. Franklin as HC? Just curious, I'm not necessarily thinking he's HC material as I just don't know and haven't followed him after he left TROY.

It has been a incredible time to see such a change to THE TROY TROJAN football fortunes under coach Brown. It appears he will not be here. I for one of thousands wish him well. Just like any of us who have had our high schooler leave for college then their own home and job knows there is a sadness with growth and change. It turned out pretty well for UCF this year and coach will be leaving a full cupboard. Yes an incredible talent may well be leaving but his mark on our program will be missed. However All of us thank you coach Neal Brown and Godspeed and good luck in all you and your family experience in the future. To the WVU fans who maybe scouting this board. In our collective opinion you have literally hit the lotto.

This escalated quickly. We knew this was coming eventually, but I sure didn't want it to be now. After the first round of coaching moves, I thought it safe to take a deep breath and relax. Lesson learned.😞
