For several years, I was updating 247Sports, but I no longer receive any updates from the athletic department. So, you likely won’t see a lot of updates until signing day.

DT is starting to wonder what the athletics department does all day. As far as my relationship with them they went from earning money to the occasional email.

This football staff hasn't a clue about external communications/relations.

As has been suggested, the site is not being updated regularly, and no one has a clear picture until a week or so before signing day anyway. Recruiting has not been a problem area for this staff so I'm really all that concerned.

I'll forgive the athletic staff if they're raising money for a certain *ahem* buyout.

I wouldn't worry much about it. I know we don't like (The HC we don’t speak of) (The HC we don’t speak of) much around here, but one thing that's certain is he has been a good recruiter. I don't imagine that will stop.

If they can email me to ask me to buy a luxury box, then they can email recruiting data to those that need it. Recruits look at that stuff.

Don’t. It’s not a true reflection.

Our AD, like our coach has never been in the top position and they are learning on the job and on the fly. We are witnessing and having to endure the affects of this situation.

There it’s a big difference between being an assistant A.D. and being assistant coach and both being moved up and learning on the job! Chips lack of experience as a head coach has shown and we can only pray that your three is the year that he finally learns to let his assistant coaches get out of their way! On the other hand AD BJ has in my opinion excellent job! Last year he was able to put together a schedule during Covid, he has made a move in different directions and baseball, golf and soccer! He has also been in charge while we have put a new turf or soccer Field and Will oversee the new baseball project. Let’s remember that Neil Brown did not have any head-coaching experience either, but really what it comes down to is are you a winner or not. Win or lose this season we will probably be looking for a new coach and once again it’s a good chance that we will wind up with someone that does not have any head-coaching experience and I’m OK with that if it rings with somebody like Neil

Pretty bad when you have to resort to an email campaign to sell luxury boxes.

Serious question here, does anyone up in those luxury boxes actually watch the football games? I thought they were just for "entertaining" and networking.

In Football? Yes. Otherwise? No. (The HC we don’t speak of) was hired under the previous DA's watch. Seems Troy football has been on fire ever since.. in a negative way. Two years later, the previous DA hired a HFC at USM who he previously passed over at Troy in favor of (The HC we don’t speak of). Hmmm.

Hmmm. Yes, point taken. (The HC we don’t speak of) was on nobodyâs radar and for good reason. It was a lazy hire by the last AD. But the new AD was involved in that hire make no mistake. So beside in Football, the current AD has let the other programs (besides 1or 2) fall in disarray and/or complete mediocrity?

The last two years have been pretty rough with the exception of Womenâs Basketball. I will say that I have no allegiance to the current AD but I am optimistic! He hired Scott Cross which appears to be a good hire. Cross certainly has great energy and hopefully will turn that energy into success this year. Under AD BJ we have a new Golf Coach, and a Baseball Coach and a new Soccer coach is forthcoming! Both coaches for golf and baseball have excellent resumes. Also our facilities continue to improve. Bottom line is we want to win and I feel that we are turning a corner in several sports with the exception of football! I am hoping (The HC we don’t speak of) will turn things around and finally win but if he doesnât that will be the true test for AD BJ

There are a WHOLE bunch of luxury boxes all over that are used for those purposes. Most likely most of them. Amazing to See glimpses into them and noting very few people watching the games unless at the most crucial moment in a big game

Every time I watch the world series, there is some chick sitting behind home plate while browsing her phone. The dude with the ticket would have brought a buddy but it ain’t worth the tantrum.

Concur that AD is doing a really good job. (The HC we don’t speak of) is not helping him. Chanda Rigby is the best coach in the State possibly. And yes, Nick Saban does coach in AL but he's got a hell of a lot more resources and tradition that Chanda does. Kyle George is fantastic and really the entire staff is optimistic. I think Athletics overall is in great hands - excluding Football. Box Seats - worth it. Would buy if I could afford it.
