So I can't be mad? Is that what you and cornhole are telling me? cornhole is disappointed. Yes. Mad? Nah. There's a difference my fellow fan. Maybe you're not mad but I am. I think this entire departure was classless and a slap in the face and I'm going to vent about it and I don't think that makes me a bad person.

I prefer a passionate fan such as you over fans that sit on the sidelines. Agreement is not a prerequisite to sharing common goals. Bad fans don't give a rap. Message boards a great place to vent, you understand that but don't expect a kumba ya "we all agree, touchy feely, let's all feel miserable " togetherness. So what, now what. If we've learned anything this past two years. The sun shall rise tomorrow, we kick a$$ in a great bowl win. This too, shall pass and we'll march as a Trojan Army again.

So I can't be mad? Is that what you and cornhole are telling me? Yes sir. You can be mad if you fell inclined to do so. He fixed Troy after the last guy. We are set to be successful. Brent Jones is going to get it right. His name is on this hire. He crushed the baseball hire.

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! “Why Tulane ?” Good question Every man is different and every man has freewill to make his own choices, I do not begrudge anyone for it. Yea the money was a substantial reason but it wasn’t the only one.

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? Your 1st question, Tulane knew about Fritz leaving way before it was announced. Tulane wanted Sumrall. Let’s just say this just didn’t pop up this week.

Sumrall planned nothing. Jon responded to an inquiry after Fritz left. Fritz announced last week? Been through all this. Duke offered him, he said no. He obviously wanted Tulane. Tulane inquiry and discussion with Sumrall was way before this week. Yes, Tulane reached out but there are ways to send a signal your interested.

Since we are dishing out, I heard he turned down an offer from Auburn and Freeze to come be DC and "head coach in waiting".
