I was told by several people close to the program he is headed to WVU. I don't mean staff when I say close to the program. I mean fans just like myself. So the longer we go without an announcement, the better chance it is not a done deal. Being selfish I hope it is not true but I have written here and on twitter that Neal is headed to WVU. If he does go, he earned it and I wish him nothing but the best. He will do well, no matter where he lands and we all know that. I am team Fickell all the way and hope I have to eat a lot of CROW(es). 95% chance it's Neal Brown. It's really only a sliver of hope otherwise. The president and a few other important people really want Luke Fickell, but it's the ADs call to make, and he wants Neal Brown. Either way, we'll have a size-able buyout to hire a new staff. I think we'll be fine. I recall that Troy's buyout dropped incrementally on December 1. Anyone remember?

If somehow we manage to retain CNB this year, the powers to be need to increase his Salary for a bigger Buyout when he leave next year.

This is where one of us hitting a really big Powerball would be helpful!

Saw report that Coach Dawkins might be taking same position at Charlotte? If true ... don't know if that "means" anything re CNB??

Given the choice between Charlotte and WVU, I'd take the latter whether I wanted to move there or not. West Virginia isn't that bad (plus total CUSA bias on my part). 😁

Hawkins is going with Healy who he was with previously. Not that shocking

I would be shocked if he didn't have a .edu email at your school. Even if his secretary screened everything he would have his own email address. You don't think it's a little odd that out of the two people who don't have their email addresses listed one of them left for another job?

DT is going with 2 more NEZ seats and an extra parking pass. We got to come off some coin folks!

I am a long time WVU fan. I saw someone mention Rich Rodriguez as a big no for Troy head coach. With him signing as an OC in the SEC, I dont think that is a worry. Honestly, I'd love to see him back in Morgantown. Those were the most exciting years of football for WVU in the last 20 years. Spot the ball. I may be stoned for saying that, but no WVU fan can deny the excitement that surrounded the program when we had players like Pat White, Steve Slaton, Owen Schmitt, and others. Those were awesome times. Rich Rod recruited those guys and engineered the offense that made the teams successful.
The RR ship sailed. He had it MADE at WVU. He is now 55 years old and on the downside of his career. If you thought the Stewart/Holgorsen debacle split the fans, see what would happen if RR showed back up...

Look under directory. forms.troy.edu/cgi-bin/directoryAD.pl Shoot him a message and tell him to stay at Troy.

Brown is all but locked up. I’m talking as far along as backgrounds having been done already and an agreement is in place…but our school president likes Fickell, so if anything with Brown hits a last second snag then Fickell will be the guy.
Edit: Thats why I want this to hurry along, the longer it goes on the more chance that something will go wrong somewhere.

Neal is used to having the support of the AD and the administration. I wonder if that carries any weight in his decision??

The saga continues. This could drag on. Whatever happens, the coaching pool isn't as dry as its made out to be. There are several guys with ties to Troy and coordinators out there that could do a good job.

Am I the only person that finds humor in the fact that hundreds of WVU fans (including a couple of their fan sites) said it's a done deal with Neal Brown 4 years 11.5 million. Now some of the same are reporting that CNB will interview for the job. Surf Report: We have overcast skies, air temp is 66, water is 62, wind is blowing 6-12 mph out of the ENE. The low tide was at 6:12 am and the high tide will be at 7:53 pm. Surf is only running shin high.

Now some of the same are reporting that CNB will interview for the job. The tone on twitter has gone from 100% NB to much less certain. Luke Fickell's name is being trodded around just as often.
