...Fire Brent Jones. He should've ALREADY shown everyone watching that he cared enough about Troy's athletic program that he was willing to make a move. With the world watching, maintaining the status quo just says "it's fine....we don't really care."
The question of (The HC we don’t speak of) being coach isn't rocket science. ANYONE can see how obvious it is that he's.....not a Troy Kinda Guy....and should be fired forthwith. That he hasn't thus far tells me what I need to know about those ABOVE (The HC we don’t speak of) (The HC we don’t speak of). Fire Brent Jones.
Unless on Monday he gives (The HC we don’t speak of) walking papers....
Strike that.....too late.....out with them both!

Brent Jones has zero say or zero authority to do anything. Hawkins runs the show lock, stock and barrel

Say what you want about back in the day with Robert Earl Stewart as AD but he was tough and for the most part made good decisions on hiring coaches. Yes, Maddox didn't win but I can tell you that 1988-89 was not totally his fault. We didn't recruit a QB to replace Turk and it bit us bad. By 1990 he scrapped the bone but didn't have the personel to run the pro style offense. Troy was still in games, losing some by 17-14 etc. RES also had business experience and got the most out of a limited budget back then. Troy won Nat Championships in football, baseball, golf, dominated in track and won in basketball. Until we get back to letting the AD have a say and stop letting academics and bean counters making athletic decisions we are going to be mediocre at best

I had him for corporate finance but he also knew athletics and had decision making authority. Hawkins micro manages everything and he is near the end and all he wants is new buildings left as his legacy. Athletics are not a concern

As I've previously stated, legal contracts determine timing and details for these situations. ADBJ hands apparently tied by the details of the knee-jerk employment contract or just an empty coffer, Don't know. cornhole frustrated as much OR MORE than fan on water. Time will tell.

He can stay, I suppose. :-D Seriously, I'm not/wasn't seriously calling for the AD to be fired. It was a bit of hyperbolic speech from the frustration of that pitiful display of football. I'm glad they had the guts to pull the trigger before the season's end. That in itself, speaks volumes.
