If your coach leaves, you are automatically granted one free transfer, regardless of a player's transfer history. It will be interesting to see which players and coaches follow Sumrall to Tulane. I do think most players understand that Tulane has good players too, so question is, do they want an increase fight for playing time ? But the Tulane players could be moving also… The kicker, in today’s world, they could get some $$ to move. It’s a mess but interesting all the same. That is NOT the case. IF you have already transferred, you have used your transfer with the immediate eligibility option. Anything else goes before the NCAA and you wait and wait and wait on them to allow your immediate eligibility.

Coach sumrall gave Tulane a number he didn’t think they would pay. When they said sure he went to Troy to see what they could do. I know it wasn’t $2.5 million. He would have stayed for that but a $300k bump wasn’t worth it. Until the alumni stop supporting those schools that didn’t support them and Troy can get medical school or engineering school type money Troy will never be able to compete. It’s a shame that former football players for Troy have season tickets for the schools who didn’t want them to play. They won’t support the school that recruited them is mind boggling. I have daughters at both of those schools and I don’t support them at Troy’s expense. He wanted out. He got out of Troy what he needed. He wasn't staying for $2,000,000 or $2,500,000. He was in it for the money and he jumped first chance he got You couldn’t be more wrong but not arguing on the internet today

1 How much is JS making at Tulane 2 How Much was Troys counter offer 3 How much does the green Terds have to pay to buyout the contract?4 How many players will stay for our bowl game? Bold, I've had to stretch the memory and looked back at some old communications. Two-lane owes Troy $1.25 Mill We are about to be like Arkansas state was years ago. Buyout begot buyout begot buyout = nice new facilities.

At our level, it’s safe to say we will go through this every few years. I trust AD BJ and have no doubts he will nail this like he did JS. Another key to this process is great assistants who you can retain and promote. We’ve got future head coaches on this current staff.

Pretty sure Corey Dennis named one of his kids Troy. He did graduate from CHHS you know.

Man, some of y’all are really angry. Why so much hate towards the man ? The guy went from $1 million to over $3 million. That is wealth, if saved right that truly sets up his family for life. He believes he can thrive there, they have nice facilities, it recent success proves you can win there, and he won’t be living in the projects. I have zero problem with a man improving his and his families lot in life. Our chooses are our own. He made a choice, I respect it. And he worked his A** off while he was here. I salute the man and wish him well. Made Troy a better place. Y'all make a note. I agree with Saint on this one

Never have been one to give my 2¢, but have read these threads on here for the past few years just to keep up, but i would like to say: As a recent alum who was lucky to play at Troy under Sumrall — we should be thankful for his time and everything he did for Troy. Call it a lateral move, call it chasing money, call it what you want — we all would take different jobs for a pay raise. If it happens, which it seems certain that it will, I trust that Brent Jones and Dr. Hawkins will put together a great group of prospects to fill the position. Troy isn’t a special place because of the head coach of the football team, it’s much more about the team itself and the community that supports it.

IF he leaves, has anyone thought about any candidates that should be on the short list for replacements? I haven't given it an ounce of thought until now. Derek Ainsley DA would be great but he’s not leaving the NFL. Receiving college players 24/7 is not worth the life of a coordinator in the NFL

Manny Diaz took the gig?? he was #2 after Sumrall. Possibly some of the most innacurate info to ever be on this board

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

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.

Thank you Coach Sumrall ! Your efforts are appreciated. You left Troy a whole lot better than you found it. God Speed sir. I echo these thoughts to Coach Cross, Coach Meade and Coach Rigby as well. All 4 Coaches are still here and will still be here for their next games

I heard it live as well. Great interveiw. I will say this, when the time comes and he does leave, he will be working, recruiting until the private jet picks him up at Troy International. Then he will work for the new job.

To clear up any confusion. If you want club seats, call Gary Wilbert. Yes they are $220, but club seats are not supposed to be cheap.
Ii updated to show the $220 amount which includes fees

All's well that ends well. Tez got his Bro and had a good season, we got #6 Chris Lewis. Troy O didn't miss a beat. Honestly getting Jabre back from injury was a huge difference. The offense last year was just starting to find its rhythm when we lost him . Speaking facts on here

The commitment to an IPF at Troy was a huge move in the right direction. We will be fine. Troy > Tulane next season, write it down

I will say, the stadium club was sold out, which equated to 90% of those people staying inside the entire time. Suites and NEZ were sold out as well.
yes there should have been more people there, but I'm just saying there were many there, who would not appear in a photo op

Seeing a lot of names from P5 conferences in the portal. ESPN says more than 1100 players from all levels. Wow! Any Trojans in it? And can you still play in your teams bowl game if you enter it? (Several Duke players are in it) You can still play IF you, your teammates and coaching staff are on the same page The portal closes early January

Any news on Team Hotel yet? I booked the Westin and Sheraton as one of them will be the correct one. I will cancel whichever is no longer needed.
