(The HC we don’t speak of) must be present win or lose. He is the face of this program and he just has got to own it No post game press conference. Things are truly bad enough that someone should be talking and not with lame excuses

How did we go from returning one of the best teams in school history to being halfway through the season and scratching our heads?

Offense had 115 yards in the first half Not surprising against the number 1 defense in the SEC. That Mizzou defense was legit.

They were good defensively but we were averaging 500 yards a game and got shut down. What I feared is happening because I saw it with CR 2011-13. No defense so offense thinks it has to score 45-50 to win and they start playing tight and forcing throws. Hope this gets corrected but it's a mental thing that is tough to overcome.

I tried to tell him what he needed to do to help fix the problem, but he fell on deaf ears. Mr Athletics Director he is your problem now. Time’s ticking, I’m just saying, that’s just me.

Offense had 115 yards in the first half This is the first solid defense this team has faced. There's no running game to speak of, the offensive line isn't as stout as we thought they would be, so all we do offensively is throw (and the QB is having to run around too much and taking too many hits). It's a whole lot easier to defend that than a balanced game if you have a half decent and healthy defense. And their defense was better than halfway.

Iâm sorry folks, but that is NOT and I repeat NOT the #1 defense in the SEC. The quality of teams they have played thus for do not even back that up. They lost to Wyoming. The LSU we beat back in 2016 would have ripped the crap out of this Mizzou team.
We played like crap, our offense had 3 turnovers, we couldnât snap the ball, we couldnât gain any rhythm. Stop making excuses - some of yâall are sounding like Coach (The HC we don’t speak of). It is what it is...face it. We are not the same TROY team we have been used to the past 3 yrs. We made a horrible hire and it needs to addressed. Period.

Things are truly bad enough that someone should be talking and not with lame excuses Win or lose, I'm very disappointed that we don't see ANY real post-game press from CCL. Two things that will destroy a fanbase (1) poor performance (2) low fan engagement. CNB would own it in front of the camera each and every time we had a poor performance. At least that gave the fans (who spend $$$ to travel and support this program) some hope. CCL had an opportunity here to express his disappointment and talk about next steps - he chose not to do that. I hope this is not the new normal for our program. And we drink...

Exactly! I can almost take losing better than a lackluster, not in our face , disinterested Head Coach. Hiding from the media and the fan base only leads to more speculation about what is going on behind the scenes

Neal this, Neal that. Neal isn’t coming back so move on. Either support the program or don’t is that simple. We’re very capable of winning 6 straight games before we face App.

We’re very capable of winning 6 straight games before we face App. Like it or not, Neal and Vic set standards that will be used as a measuring stick. And this isn't the first time coaches were compared to them after they left, especially in regards to people wishing Vic was back. That doesn't mean people don't support the program, as the current staff isn't the program. They're just the current stewards. And honestly, coming in behind Brown/Koenning was going to be rough on any staff. I'm doubtful we win 6 straight and highly doubtful we have much chance against App. But I'll be at the games with a typical expectation that they pull it out. Just like I was during the end of the Blakney years. And I fully expect a bloodbath of a win over South. That game will be ugly.

Troy football for me is more than going to the games. I like to read stories, talk smack on the message board, and have an insider feel. If we are going all North Korea dark, then it aint fun. I feel like the most we get sometimes is the box score.

I can't imagine if we'd won nothing would have been recorded.

Just watched the presser from earlier. (The HC we don’t speak of) just doesn't instill a sense of hope at all. I can't help but notice a lack of passion and lack of fire. How is he supposed to get the kids fired up to play, if he lacks passion? I've noticed this from day one, but figured it was just that he was new to the program. Maybe he's just not good with the Media? Having said that, this is just an observation and I wouldn't care at all about this if we were winning.
