Maybe I'm just not smart, but I've never heard of Roberts or Hall JonesO, Roberts was at Delta State, where he was in the playoffs A BUNCH from 2007 - 2011, then on to SE_La. I am sure there are some ties with Jeremy from those days. Will Hal JUST signed on as Tulane's OC in Dec, Was at Memphis prior year, at LA-LA as OC in 2017 and was HC at West Alabama and West Ga. The other two, we obviously know about. keeping my fingers crossed for Sumrall, hope it is him. Will be happy with whomever, as I have tons of faith and belief in JM to make the right hire!

Not a fan of (The HC we don’t speak of) (The HC we don’t speak of). When you are hired as the OC at Kansas that isn't a glowing resume. Hall seems Ok, Roberts is WAY TO INCONSISTENT as a HC. Goes 10-2 and then 5-5. Of the ones listed Sumrall is my pick but they will pick who they want.

All seem like very sharp guys. I would also lean toward Sumrall ... given his recent Troy connections ... and hopefully he could keep some of the staff.
But they all have the experience/background.
And I know (The HC we don’t speak of)/Auburn struggled last year ... but wasn't he the OC in 17 too? Anyway ... he's had success and seems to be well thought of. And, Troy connection.

Here is my issue with Roberts:
Delta St 2008 10-2 2009 5-5 SELU 2013 11-3 2014 9-4 2015 4-7 2016 7-4 2017 6-5
Do we want up and down or do we want improvement yearly?

I would interested to know if those records are indicative of the number of D-1 transfers and JUCOs they had on those teams. FCS and D-II often rely on those types of players to re-build or jump start programs, but hard to sustain due to time on campus and to build any chemistry or rhythm. I think his DSU connection is probably what has gotten him a listen. To what end? We will have to wait and see. Hoping it is Sumrall

My little bird tells me we have a handshake with a head coach and they are fleshing out a staff today.
How come no one is watching the flights in and out of Troy International today??

Better choices than him and as a DC I wasn't impressed. Sumrall is a better coach

Donât know much about Hall or Roberts Sumrall was here, knows the culture we started and could retain some assistants we have left. Great recruiter and served under VK. We don't need a rebuilder we need a guy who can build upon what we have going. Hall would be choice #2 and really am not impressed with Roberts or (The HC we don’t speak of). Roberts record as a HC is all over the place and was on a steady decline at SELU.

Decent points. Think Sumrall would be an excellent DC for us. And bring in someone with major P5 coordinator experience. JM maybe just a little too green to handle the the HC.

IMO Hall HC/OC and Sumrall DC.
Don’t know much about Hall but he seems to have some experience and lots of energy...

If this is doable, I would love this set up Hall's speech when he was announced as UWG's HC a couple years ago. He starts his speech about the 12 min mark. Led them to two semifinal finishes.
