Can we stop with the Rowell 2.0 designation? We are 2 (TWO) games into a season with a staff the is almost entirely different from last year. Our Defensive coordinator has no experience in that job. I was as disappointed in any of you over last night's performance, especially the continued open middle of the field. He will make mistakes, he will learn. I can absolutely guarantee that no one on this board was the best widget maker/polisher his company had ever seen, two production runs into widget utopia, I don't care how good you are at it now.
Those who are throwing this term around consider it one of the strongest insults that could be given a D coordinator because of the disdain in which they hold Rowell. Give it a break. The man and his influence are gone and have been for almost 5 years. I get it, he wasn't the best D coordinator ever to be employed by TROY, but to refer to a defense that has played 2 games (one of which we won, by the way) in what is considered to be such an insult makes no sense. Give Coach Hall a chance to correct the mistakes he and his squad have made before removing all support from him and denigrating him publicly and maybe, JUST MAYBE, he will turn into the #2 widget maker/polisher. After all, we know the #1 spot won't be available for a long time.

I agree with you bubba. But after all that ballyhoo about #6 and #1 Defense after the camel game.. expectations were quite leveraged.
You've been around for, let me see, at least 1,542 of your own posts. You are certainly aware that our little web-based media space here is just littered with overreactors.
But yes, I hope many will heed your advice!!

Why are we so cheap that we have to be the Kindergarten for coordinators and head coaches?

Why are we so cheap that we have to be the Kindergarten for coordinators and head coaches? The salary pool for assistants is $2 million. That’s not cheap.
