Coach Jon Sumrall is being interviewed now. If you can catch it.
Edit: The interview lasted about 10 min. This is just a quick summary of the topics discussed. Nothing real earth shattering but good to see and hear on the SEC Network and Radio.
1. Coming back to Troy as a Head Coach. 2. Thought process when you where made the Troy offer. 3. Program's rich traditions, championships and legendary coaches at Troy. 4. Championship path forward for G5 teams in the upper echelon like Troy. 5. What type of recruiting footprint will Troy have?
6. How critical are the relationships with the SEC schools(Transfers)? 7. Working under Mark Stoops and Kentucky. 8. Scheduling approach in the future.

It's up, just listened to it, Paul says he's been to Troy MANY TIMES!! Maybe he has but not in the last 20+ years that I've been a season ticket holder!! 🤔🤔 Good interview, good for our coach to be on national radio...

Wow! Paul gave Troy some nice compliments. Can’t wait for spring football! Don't get too excited. Based on his track record, I doubt they were very sincere. Even when Neal was the HC, Finebaum would give HIM props for winning, but he did so in way that denigrated Troy. He thinks we are a joke and that we have no business thinking we can play big time football, MSU, Mizzu, OK St, LSU, Nebraska not withstanding.

I finally got an opportunity to watch. I’m so pleased that we have a coach that can take any question and return a positive answer. HCJS is not an aww shucks guy. Paul asked him about the transfer portal and how can a coach keep players from entering and at the same time receive players from it. I loved HCJS’ answer that you first recruit your current roster and then you develop new HS recruits and that makes the program appealing for those in the portal from elsewhere. <- my paraphrase and interpretation.
We have a new and improved head ball coach. I’m pumped up.

Paul Finebaum is a so called expert on football and never wore a helmet, jock or pair of cleats. He is like listening to Howard Cossell

Why do you have to have played the game to be an expert?

Did Mike Leach play football? BYU Leach is atypical among NCAA Division I head coaches in that he did not play college football. He is one of nine such current head coaches, eight of them in FBS.

It’s all good. I think the point that was being made is that one does or doesn’t have to have experience at a position to coach said position. The response basically what about Mike Leach. My recollection was also that he had not played college football. Interestingly, I’m not sure that there is a position on the field called head position. So, I’m not sure how anyone becomes head coach with that logic. 😂🤣😂🤣. Just kidding. Hoping and wishing for everyone a safe and happy Holidays. Praying for those affected by the tornadoes - all of those affected and their families… especially our former rival Hilltoppers and those in the Bowling Green, KY community.

Anyone with enough passion for a work and effort to perfect the craft can do anything.
