It’s going to be a chaotic December for Trojan football. What coaches stay ? What coaches leave ? How many players enter the portal ? How many players follow him to Tulane ? Early signing period ? Incoming Transfer kids ? Hiring of new Head Coach ? A bowl game with unknown roster of who coaching or playing ? Ensuring committed recruits for 2024 are still in fold ?
Ugh. It does suck. But reality. Good luck AD Jones. If you need some snacks delivered to the office just holler.

I guess I have a different take than a lot of you do. I remember the misery between Neal & Jon. I'm so thankful for these two years. I'm thankful for Coach Sumrall and everything he did here. I'm not mad at him at all. He's improving his life. I don't blame him one bit.
I tend to look at the glass as half full. Life is too short to be angry and bitter all the time.
This is our reality as Troy fans. Troy has come a long way, but we aren't one of the bigger schools. If a coach has great success here, he won't stay long. That's just where we are. Let's be glad for the success and look forward to the next great one.
I only hope we don't repeat the mistakes made after Neal. I think we've learned our lesson.
Go Trojans! Always!

Now that I've gotten home I thought of some questions: 1) How long had Sumrall been planning this? When asked at the end of the season he just said Troy contacted him about showing up for work and that was it. 2) Did Sumrall even say goodbye to his players? I mean they only busted their tails for him and did everything asked of them for the past two seasons did they at least get a thank you and an explanation? 3) Who has Sumrall been recruiting for? You mean to tell me up until today he's been out on the road for Troy?

He didn't have the grace to give us a heads up, he didn't say good bye to his players that worked so hard for him, he didn't say thank you to the Trojan Nation, and he would rather abandon his team just days before our biggest bowl game ever than to lead them to victory one last time. That bothers me, so sue me.

I called my lawyer, he said his fees far exceeded your net worth. You can relax, and we can all cheer our Trojans another Day! The sun will rise over the Trojan Nation again. Oh yes, it only took cornhole about 38 years, raising kids, a divorce or two and I finally "Grew Up". I think.

I hace so many thoughts right now and I didn’t sleep well last night ! Part of me want to say “Why Tulane”? The other part says” best of luck and thanks for a great 2 years” So today when it was final I thought to myself “ So What Now What” We will see. I trust in Brent and I hope he had a plan and has candidates in mind that can take over without missing a beat! Only time will tell. I got to meet Jon and and I really thought he would stay and I am shocked that it is Tulane! I think that he will do well there and it wouldn’t surprise me if he is able to put AAC conference champs on his resume soon increasing his value at a prominent P5 school perhaps Kentucky or even Bigger! I also can’t help think that although Jon and his family seemed to love Troy there wasn’t a kink in the armor because we didn’t hire him directly after Neal left . I also wonder if he came to the conclusion that a three peat in the SBC would be difficult and the combination of a higher compensation package and a chance to take over a team that can win a championship in another division swayed him ! I am disappointed that he will not be coaching the bowl game! I will go and support the Men of Troy and say to myself” When something bad happens Good”. “ So what now what “ Let’s get behind ADBJ and pray that he will make the right choice!
