Surely we can do better than Joe Craddock for head coach. We didn't need no stinking JS either! Fire up the Boo Birds for whatever hire we make. Culture > Coach

Just out of curiosity what do you actually know about Joe? Great question Hereâs something to ponder that I havenât until now. How much of Joe Craddock the OC was controlled by a defensive minded HC? Iâm sure Jon had input on big plays and downs. I do know Jon wanted a play caller that had experience when he hired Joe. The Troy offense averaged 9 points more this season that (The HC we don’t speak of) did on his final season. As bad a head coach as he was, he is a good OC. Honestly Iâm not concerned with a head coaches X and Oâs as much as I am in his ability to motivate, communicate, delegate and lead. Itâs a CEO position.

Here's what I know about Joe Craddock. I know I saw Coach Sumrall chewing his A** on the sidelines every game. I know we didn't hang FITTY on nobody. I am getting strong C hip L indsey 2.0 vibes if this is our guy.

Each day that passes and no news on the wire makes me more nervous. Each day we don’t have a coach or even interviews is another day the current staff can talk to sumrall and look at real estate in New Orleans.

I’m willing to bet that we will have an announcement no later than Friday. Monday press conference.!

I agree about Bill Clark. He checks all the boxes. He’s a proven winner. He knows the state of Alabama. Good relationship with high school coaches. May stay to finish out career.
Am I missing anything?

Itâs a CEO position. 100%. Fester didn't motivate, communicate well, or lead well. Huge reason for his failings. Honestly, Gasparato *seems* like that kind of guy... but I'm not doing interviews, so I don't know.

Each day we don’t have a coach or even interviews is another day the current staff can talk to sumrall and look at real estate in New Orleans. Breathe and think about a potential timeline… we are OK: I think ADBJ had been keeping a list since the Sumrall hire and updating it constantly (including ALREADY vetting everyone on that list). That means they were all vetted prior to the announcement that XHCJS was headed south. Weekend was spent arranging on campus interviews for Monday/Tuesday, discussions and additional interviews IF needed on Wednesday/Thursday, schedule press conference for Friday with announcement AND meet & greet. Leaves four days prior to early signing (another large group of official visits this weekend), NEW HC gets our early signees signed 12/20-12/22 and starts working on getting OUR commitments during Bowl Activities. ALL is right IN MY world 😉 GO TROJANS ⚔️‼️👍🏼

We have commencement that day which would keep a lot of people occupied for majority of day until about 3 pm.

We were hearing Jon interviewed for Tulane by Wednesday. I think your timing is off I don’t see it happening this weekend. I don’t see it happening before the bowl game. I do want to get the job right but each day that passes is not good retain anybody on our staff. I hope I am wrong. Go TROY!
