Fade into obscurity = I'm laughing- just wait until the 12 team playoff Once you are no longer in the hunt, season over Bowl games outside of playoff - IRRELEVANT College football is over sir - I hate it The rich are going to get way richer I love the Sunbelt and I hope our conference continues to improve because I love to travel to Mobile- South Alabama Memphis- Arkansas State Atlanta - Georgia State Savannah - Georgia Souther Myrtle Beach - Coastal Carolina New Orleans - LA Lafayette San Antonio - Texas State Boone & Asheville - App State Williamsburg - Old Dominion Great conference, just irrelevant an I'm okay with it - just be the SBC and be content That would be fine if football were free. If we drop a division, I think ticket sales will go down. Enrollment will go down. There is no going back. It’s forward or bust. It was that way when we initially made the move. There were talks of closing the Troy campus and moving the school to Dothan and renaming it southeast Alabama or some other nightmare. The schools that don't have a chance need to shake things up. Not sure how but something

I grew up during the Division 2 years and was fortunate to see two Nattys. I was a student at Troy and a flunkie during the 1AA years. Before the internet, I would wear my Troy State gear and people had no clue about Troy. In fact, my Jr High football coach asked me once, "Did Troy State make the playoffs?" We had just won the 1987 Natty. If we drop to a lower division we will fade into obscurity.

Parker won't succeed without support. Give him 1000% until he gives a solid reason not to.

If we can't beat a 7-5 Duke team that lost their coach and starting QB, what are we doing at Troy?
Want to be relevant? Beat 7-5 Power 5 teams.
Thank you to all the players for another great season. Still proud to be a Trojan!

We need to buy in. This is NOT a bad hire at all. If the fans buy in, the players buy in, the recruits buy in, and then their parents buy in. That's only going to help Troy sustain success. Gerad Parker is another LEADER. Very similar to Jon Sumrall and Neal Brown. He's definitely not another (The HC we don’t speak of) (The HC we don’t speak of)/bald menace. Just look up his interviews on YouTube. He's a smart guy that knows his stuff and is a definite leader and motivator. And he is apparently a phenomenal recruiter. DON'T LISTEN TO NOTRE DAME FANS. THEY DIDN'T LIKE HIS OFFENSIVE STYLE, despite the incredible success they had offensively this year. Trust that Brent Jones knew what he was doing! He's got a proven track record that we can't deny. And please quit giving Brent Jones credit. This was solely Jack Hawkins hire on the recommendation of Neal Brown. It may work, it may not. I am there to support, but some of these people claiming how good Jones is at making hires. Well we don't know the board hired Sumrall and Hawkins hired Parker and had outside help in choosing Meade because of the son-in-law fiasco. If Jack won't let Brent do his job, Brent should move on. 1

If an assistant was being offered the job, wouldn't they have already accepted?

2nd favorite team - I thought this thread would be whoever is playing Alabama, not teams playing our former coach. I'm thankful for his two years, most successful in our History possibly.

Would have to be $4m plus The money he is making in Troy is a lot for Troy - it's like 2M in New Orleans Plus- how manybyearsnhas John got in AL - if he is close to 10 as a state employee, he vecokes vested I think - and that retirement is a decent number especially over time But, I'm selfish - $4m per year is a lot of cash He isn't going to get $4,000,000 a year in a state pension for sure No $h!+ - that's what I said - $4M is a lot of cash And so is 650K for life when your 60 years old - ain't bad - IF YOU ARE 60 YEARS OLD

So punish FSU for what happened to TCU? Everyone knows d*** well if the roles were reversed and FSU was the one loss team with their starter (Bama was undefeated with their 3rd string QB, and Bama’s game ended like FSU’s and vice-versa) we all know Bama would be in. Quit using injuries as an excuse. Eff the $EC and the good ol’ boys on the committee. They weren't going to leave a SEC school out that was a given. I have never agreed with this four team playoff. I want a 16 team like FCS, D3 and D3. Every G5 champion, Every P5 champion and six at large. That's the only way to determine who is the best ACC out of conference record 10-9 6-4 against the SEC SEC out of conference 7-9 Punish an entire team for injuries, wow

Minimum offer. 3X the cash of present base salary. Skinny says Tulane offered Fritz $4.5 mill to stay. $3,000,0000-$4,000,000 JS would have to consider it. Would have to be $4m plus The money he is making in Troy is a lot for Troy - it's like 2M in New Orleans Plus- how manybyearsnhas John got in AL - if he is close to 10 as a state employee, he vecokes vested I think - and that retirement is a decent number especially over time But, I'm selfish - $4m per year is a lot of cash

Just something that ground my gears about this game… if App State is too cheap to bring their band, don’t play their fight song over the loud speakers. The Sun Belt Conference could have ponied up the money for the App State band to attend… Agree on this - if you make the championship game - band travels

Lot of good food in New Orleans. Oh wait, Sisters, never mind.
I guess it depends on what John wants but Tulane job offers more than Troy - other than more money?
City vs. Small town Private Research Univeraity vs State school Bigger budget Recruit better - stretch imo
Agree, just does not seem to be a good/smart move

No way we get in even if we beat JMU. People still don't respect our league.
South AL beat Okie State about as bad as TX did. Our conference wins out of conference games. What else can we do as a conference.
It sucks but that's the system
