Or the AD is doing a thorough nation wide search. I have no doubt he is doing a thorough search, but every AD who has ever conducted a coaching search says that. The number of openings and dominos falling have made this coaching carousel cycle unlike most any before. I hope we have our guy and are just waiting to announce after his team plays this week. Otherwise, I’m afraid we may be striking out with our initial target(s) for one reason or another. Either way I’ll applaud BJ on conducting one of the most tight-lipped searches I’ve ever seen. There should be a leak already. More likely it will take some more time or the leading candidate is not a current FBS coach.

According to an Auburn insider, P.Nix is looking for an OC job at a smaller school (Jax State or G5). I doubt he is the HC candidate but maybe OC?

I agree that a hire needs to be IMMINENT in order to save this recruiting class. That said, Brent Jones hired Skyler Meade for baseball, and I get the feeling Troy is about to run the Sun Belt — which, in all fairness to football, is a baseball league. I think we'll be fine. I don't trust any of the rumors. What recruiting class?

Do you all hear that? That's Troy re-negotiating with (The HC we don’t speak of) (The HC we don’t speak of) for a 3 year extension worth $500k per year instead of $800k. He get's a $100,000 bonus for every season he finishes with 5 wins or less. I am hearing Chris Cuomo is available nowâ¦and Kiffin to Twitter.

Pat Nix will be the new HC at Troy and bring Bo with him If this is true, I don’t see Bo transferring to Troy. It might be in the discussion but he will most likely stay at Auburn. (on the other side, Bo is an early graduate (graduating in two weeks) and could be a graduate transfer). Hopefully, we won’t hire Bobo. He is a good recruiter and QB coach but his playcalling is questionable. EDIT Two rumors circulating: Pat Nix to Troy Pat & Bo to UCF

Has there ever been a time when five big brands have been open at the same time? The scramble is real and with the first stone thrown into the pond yesterday at USC, the ripple effect will be felt far and wide...not just for Head Coaches, but for assistants. It will effect TMTDM in some form or fashion, you watch. Oh yeah, I forgot SWLa is open too. Them and Mrytle Beach think they are in that mix as well...ha! I can appreciate NWCarolinas attitude, not these fly-by-night posers. + Miami

This is Auburn board rumors:
Pat Nix to Troy?
Currently it is just Auburn (VIP) board rumors:
- Mike Bobo just resigned from Auburn - Pat Nix might be headed to Troy (not sure HC or OC role) - Bo Nix was asked/teased today about his brother Caleb Nix allegedly committing to Troy (during radio interview) - Bo is seriously considering leaving Auburn (via transfer portal)
EDIT - - - There is also Sumrall rumors though.

I wish Troy Athletic administrators would stop worrying about a damn message board and just just go get us a damn good football coach. Can't f..ing believe I am getting phone calls from people in athletics asking me to stop spreading what I am hearing here in town. Unreal! Keep spreading!

I am hearing that an offer was made but I do not know to whom. Hearing the offer was for $700,000. If Sumrall he is already making $675,00 at UK. that won't get him or any other top P5 Assistant to come here. That was probably glorious leader JH trying to go on the cheap as usual. We'll see if they can negotiate to some middle ground to make sure we get the right guy. If this is true, Troy should drop back to FCS anyway. Jax St just hired RichRod and ULL might hire Mullen or Coach O while we hire the next (The HC we don’t speak of)?

I suppport next week's Head Coach, Brandon Hall. The rest will fall in place. Brandon Hall will be gone soon. P5 programs already eyeing him.

NO MORE HIRING FROM WITHIN!!!!! OR SOME CONNECTION to Troy! National Search means just that! NATIONAL!!!! Too many deserving coaches out there with CONSISTENT winning records! Tired of this Crappy offense! Defense was always Great against inferior competition! We need to change Troy football up! Recruit better! AD needs to earn his nice salary! Hiring with Troy connections too easy!!! I agree. Why limit yourself? Best candidate should get the job.

You are a lemming. will follow the message groupies for Sumrall. Or do have knowledge or talked to a candidate? Nope, I am just saying that Ansley is no more qualified than Sumrall. Both have roughly the same resume and in some ways Sumrall has a better one. I'll get behind who ever they hire but to say Ansley is qualified and Sumrall is not is false Ansley coached under Saban, was a coordinator in the SEC and has several years of NFL experience. There is no way Sumrall can top that.

Agree. Good guy, good coach. Not ready. What else does does he need to do to be ready for you?? Several years of coordinator experience in a P5 conference. Neal Brown had 5 years of (P5) coordinator experience before he was offered the HC job.

While I share your disdain for (The HC we don’t speak of), I'm not sure we still have someone on staff at 247 updating recruiting. That doesn't mean we have more than two recruits, but it does mean that if we don't, and there are more than two, 247 will be slow to update. Someone on this board used to do it, maybe still does? I'm not sure, but let's wait until the early signing period to see what we end up with. Recruits announce their commitments on Twitter, you donât really need 247 for this. However, I just canât find any current commitments related to Troy Football (Twitter). Btw, I saw that we are recruiting Caleb Nix (Boâs younger brother). He is not highly ranked though.

We shouldn’t play any CUSA teams. This is a glorified FCS conference. Let’s focus on SBC and AAC teams. So we shouldn't play any C-USA teams because they are a glorified FCS Conference yet we opened with a SWAC opponent which is a glorified D2 conference The main difference is that CUSA is positioning itself as an FBS conference. Anyways, hosting FCS teams is pretty established, just don't play at their places. P5 is trying to break away and we should be aware of who we are being associated with. On the other hand, having two complete different landscapes P5 vs G5 would make everything more organized. In this case, G5 would be a new modern version of 1AA essentially with its own bowl system, Top25, etc.

Meh. Wouldn’t want him at Troy. But It will bring some buzz the Sunbelt. Can’t wait for Hawkins and his pet AD Jones to march out the latest SEC retread or unqualified SEC assistant as the new coach. That’s if they even have the brussel sprouts to do it. GaSo should now get a lot of ESPN hype (Kiffin-FAU type of hype) which should help in recruiting, etc.
