Since we are talking about leaving the right way, XHCNB came back to Troy after he took the WVU job and I talked to him at a basketball game. He told me, and you can believe me or not, that: "Troy will always win. It's 20% coaching and 80% culture." So how much coaching did Sumrall’s predecessor do?

My concern is that the money in question will not just affect him but any of the coordinators and coaches who go with him. More for them and their families. He won’t just be thinking of his family.

I hope HCJS stays! I wonder why Tulane? Fritz was making 1.6 million in NO JS was making over a million in Troy Maybe if the money is an issue BJ will figure out how to sweeten the pot! If he does leave I think Tulane will be compensating Troy based on the contract that was negotiated last year!

Offers have been made. Ultimately we hurry up and wait to see what Sumrall and family decide. I hope we dodge the bullet and Sumrall says no. We need one more year. And y’all have said it repeatedly, that nothing said on this board affects recruiting nor the team not it’s play. Dear viewing public: This post is trash and not accurate As I said Offers were made. Post was dead on accurate. You were wrong. He turned down one, but maybe something turns and he doesn’t accept the other.

Y'all settle down, if this message board was full of facts it would not exist. Not sure why Saint made that post, but nothing has changed around here. Carry on with your day. The families of recruits who look at this board are not amused by someone stating stupidity. The Troy Messenger. Wonder if they are reporting stupidity. Y’all gather down there and make sure they know that families of recruits can read what they report. www.troymessenger.com/2023/12/07/jon-sumrall-reportedly-interviewed-for-tulane-job/

While we are waiting and speculating. Here’s Dave Shultz with Locked on Sunbelt talking about the subject. Is it just a Jimmy sexton play for Jon to get more money for his staff?? 🧐

I think in the world of college football if you get asked to interview with an athletic Director you take that interview. You want to build those relationships because you never know where an athletic Director might end up. Jon’s got that relationship with Chris Lewis and we all see what happened with that. Jon’s a great relationship builder the athletic Director at Tulane may end up at an SEC school and he’s already built that relationship. I’m thinking this is just an interview and nothing more.

Money talks, coaches walk...period. Just look at Prime Time at Jackson St. He was all about helping HBCU, he wasn't in it for the money etc. Colorado calls, $4,000,000......bye bye SWAC, HBCU and I'm not doing it for the money

He put in a lot of his own money to make improvements but Jackson state didn’t hold up their end. Totally different situation but money does talk

Interesting concept. Never heard of sitting head coaches going on interviews to “relationship build” for their future. And their bosses be ok with the practice. College football still has an employer-employee relationship. It’s the same in the non college football world. Go with the most logical explanation: he wants the job, he went and interviewed for it.

This may work both ways - the sitting Athletic Director may one day interview for a job where that former coach is.

He also interviewed for duke and Mississippi State so what does your statement mean. I know I’ve interviewed for jobs while still having one and really wanting it but after weighing everything I felt better where I was.

I’ve interviewed for two jobs in the last year and with both they sought me out. It’s absolutely how you build your network even if the timing or fit is not there. My manger even encourages it and has no issues when someone explores opportunities that might potentially be better for them. I said thanks but no thanks to both but now have multiple new contacts for the future.

No it’s the action process you mentioned, that he took the interview for relationship building reasons. I’d say he took the interview because he wants the job. Nothing more or less.

Why do you want him gone so bad? Never said I want him gone. Can you find where I said that ? If so, please post that, I would want to apologize for that then. I have been telling this board just what I know as facts. Some have gotten their panties in a wad about it, for no logical reason. I have posted a lot about Jon, my appreciation of him and what a great job he has gone. He definitely has exceeded expectations. And like I just said, he will leave Troy way better than how he found it.
