My contact with Notre Dame stated "Good for Notre Dame." They were not pleased with him and will more than likely help him pack. I guess this is the wait and see approach. FYI, my contact is highly connected to the University with his own endowed scholarship. If this doesn't bother him it could be a sign of what's to come.

I'd be careful of fans of a team like Notre Dame on Twitter. Some think ND should be 12-0 and National Champs each season so anything less and they want to run off their entire staff. There are Bama fans who want Saban out after each loss.

He's not coming here as an OC. He's coming here as a leader. I could not care less what they think of his play calling.

Iāll be the first to say and whoever donāt like what I say can kiss my behind. With the talent on this roster, bowl game or bust. I was really hoping Greg got a chance to take reign

I'm kind of lost on this one. My Notre Dame friend seems happy to see him go. But as Oxygen said, we are hiring him as a HC, not an OC. Still seems odd. Welcome to Troy I guess.

You naysayers do realize we were not hiring an OC right? Maybe ND is like AuBarn and wont take the cuffs off coaches? Saban demanded full control and look at the results. A coaches success sometimes can be directly affected by a roundtable and board members. The guy apparently interviewed well.

There are Bama fans who want Saban out after each loss. As they should. Anyone can win 10 games at Alabama (see Dubose and Shula). It takes a real man to try to build a national title winner at a place like Troy.

I'd assume he comes highly recommended by Neal Brown.

Heās got baggage. And not a very good tract record. Arrested for DUI in 2017 and ECU dismissed him. After 2020 Neal brown demoted him from OC to TE coach and let Graham Harrel take over OC. Yāall can say āoh he aināt here to coach the offenseā which may be true but clearly heās never been successful at any of his stops. We could have taken Lesley, Greg, or craddock and been just fine.

Time for the mass exodus of coaches and players to start.

Time for the mass exodus of coaches and players to start. Then let them go. If Troy sinks then ADBJ will have to answer for that. If they leave and we win again then those coaches/players weren't as necessary as we thought. Who the heck knows Coach Parker might be the first to take us to a 12-0 FBS regular season. However maybe OCJC, DCGG, Lesley, etc. all interviewed and ADBJ and Hawkins still thought this guy was the better leader/candidate.

He was teammates with Sumrall at UK. Not really sure what kind of HC he will be but he is a tremendous recruiter.

Give the dude a chance and let's see where it goes. Troy is not exactly a destination school for coaches. More like a stepping-stone to the next level.

I really hope this isn't another (The HC we donāt speak of) situation. I think fan base sentiment is a huge deal. Fans had nothing but praise for HCJS as well as coach Gas. Everywhere I look, ND fans are celebrating.
