Marcus Jones is now in the transfer portal... WTH is (The HC we don’t speak of) doing? Running off our best players is not a way to win the fan base over

Not a good look. Makes me wonder about the transition from VK to Brandon Hall.

Not good, at all... that's two star players we've now lost.

Slowly losing my optimism about this staff. Have the schedule and (had) the roster to go 12-0, possibly 14-0, but (The HC we don’t speak of) is pissing it away cause he can not handle stars

Slowly losing my optimism about this staff. Have the schedule and (had) the roster to go 12-0, possibly 14-0, but (The HC we don’t speak of) is pissing it away cause he can not handle stars Let's be honest. Most of those saying we could go 12-0 don't understand that this isn't Neal Brown year five. (The HC we don’t speak of) is not an extension of XCNB in any way. The clock has been reset, and (The HC we don’t speak of) has zero years of head coaching experience. He is also going to run the offense since our OC has zero years experience being an OC, and (The HC we don’t speak of) is also going to be the quarterbacks coach. That seems like an awful lot for one guy who has never been a head coach. I'm not sure what happens this season and beyond, but it sure does feel like this staff is "Neal Brown light". I don't mean that in a derogatory sense, just that (The HC we don’t speak of) does not have the experience Neal does, but is from the same coaching tree. Vic Koenning is one of the best in the business, and it's going to be difficult for Brandon Hall to be as good as Vic. He doesn't have the years or the P5 stops. I'm not saying that they can't come in a surprise everyone and win a SBC title, but I would surprised if this staff, in year one, is as good as Neal's program has been. We have the players, but it's a big question as to how they manifest under a different umbrella. It's troubling that Tron and Jones have left the program, but these things happen. I'm in wait and see mode for the time being.

I think it's obvious from the interviews that Vic Koenning has had with West Virginia press, that he was interested in the head coaching job at Troy, and he got passed over. One interview in particular you could tell he had some angst about it. The players on defense loved VK, so if they think he got the shaft, then they feel shafted as well. Also, multiple defensive players, per Twitter, were nudging for VK to become the head coach.
I don't think it's too far fetched to say that if VK was currently Troy's head coach, then Marcus Jones wouldn't have left, and possibly even Tron Folsom.

So are we going to hit up the transfer portal? Seems like we could pick a diamond or two from lesser schools.

Who here thinks he winds up at West Virginia?
I'm saying he does... hard to imagine a kid from Enterprise leaving a program where he's on top of the world and considered one of the best CB's in the Sun Belt... unless Neal Brown is putting some feelers out there to see if he wants to take a shot playing in the Big XII.

Brown might take either one, Tron or Marcus. That said, I don't think Neal is trying to poach Troy players. I don't think he's initiating conversations with current Troy athletes.

I do not understand why these guys are leaving. The athletic dept. doesn't owe me an explanation but I'd still love to get some perspective from them or some assuredness of some sort that this at least isn't a surprise to them and perhaps part of a larger plan of moving the wrong people out and the right people in; though I can't imagine why either of these guys wouldn't be highly desired. I try really hard not to second-guess and snipe from the sidelines.........
so I won't, even though I typed out some stuff and then deleted it.
But I am watching and I am waiting. And right now, I'm growing very skeptical of what is happening in this off-season and where that's going to lead when we actually play a down of football.
