These Next Coach threads are entertaining, never understood why folks just throw out random coaches names. Stay in Troy’s neighborhood. Also, some coaches dont want to live in Troy. It’s a small town in the Wiregrass of Alabama. For some folks, it’s Satan’s back porch, for others it’s a slice of heaven. From CLB loving it. all the way to Sumrall tolerating+ it. Cadillac is not coming here. Scott Frost is not coming here, Tom Herman is not coming to Troy…

Just heard that Brent is doing a zoom meeting with former players tonight. I know he did this before hiring HC Jon what's his name. Love that he takes the time to ask the men who wore the uniform and get their input. Hopefully lightning strikes twice

If we are at this stage, are we not behind? Tomorrow is eight days from early signing day Take the time to get it right. Don’t sacrifice a potential Bald Menace hire just attempt to maximize one early signing period.

Understand but we are running out of time. We are currently the only Sun Belt team without a coach. James Madison hired a proven young HC and even Duck Call U has a coach. You can't recruit with no HC

We have to have a coach announced this week and hit the road to shore up our existing commits and add to it

Any white smoke coming from Hawkins Stadium Tower?! I'm ready to get a new HC and move on! It's been awfully quiet on the scuttlebutt of the succession...

It's Monday, I'm sure ADBJ's office is littered with empty 5-hour energy bottles. I know there is a short list and Santa is checking it twice. I'm guessing the decision will be made by Wednesday and then the lawyers will fight back and forth. I expect social media drops will be made Friday or Saturday with a Monday presser. *This is all a guess, I'll be honest and say I have nothing this time.

Having seen ADBJ work for the past 4-5 years, I am reasonably sure that he was not caught off guard by JS's exit. I am reasonably sure he not only had a list of potential candidates, but that feelers had been extended and initial candidate vetting performed. We currently have a HC in the person of Gasparato and he will have us ready to beat Duke, I have no doubt. I won't get anxious about not having a permanent HC hired until this weekend. Let's just trust ADBJ to get this hire right.

I know many of you have thought of this already, but the sooner we get someone in place, the sooner key guys from the current staff can get adjusted to the new guy. Will probably help a few coaches stick around before Sumrall comes calling for them after the bowl game. Bill Clark may not be my first choice, but he may the guy our current staff would stick around for. Not as sure with some of the guys with fewer ties to the area. I hope we have someone in place by Friday.

***Corrected from John to Jordan; spellcheck didn’t like Jordan***
What are everyone’s thoughts about Jordan Lesley possibly coming back to Troy from West Virginia?

I'm asking Santa for a good coach who won't leave after just a couple years.
