Out of everything you said - you can only control you I don't agree with the direction at Troy in several areas either. Can't blame you for not supporting football. Have you talked to Coach Rigby. Won't find a better person and I think she may be the best basketball coach in the state of AL. Surely you can get behind her and support her. Volleyball, golf, softball all trending in good direction - can they be better yes, but they are not going backwards like football. Still a lot of great things happening at Troy. You are either married to the Troy for better for worse - or NOT. Excellent post!

I stopped going to games during (The HC we don’t speak of)âs first season. I canât stand to to see what this so called coaching staff has done to the program. Who else? Come on back. Itâs not about the coach. The players deserve the support. Come hangout at our tailgate and make some new friends and reconnect with the old ones.

So is the sunbelt getting rid of uta and ualr since they don't play football? They should, to strengthen the conference overall.

It’s obvious in the recent months, that Brent Jones has slapped your hand at the dinner table , and you’ve decided to wage an all out attack on him. To each his own. I think he’s done a good job in his time here, but he will be ultimately judged by his next big hire. Everyone in the room knows it. Most everyone also knows the micro mananger at the top will carry a heavy hand in the decision making. Signed A non donor per Saintflorian Man you just make stuff up. When did I say I was a non donor ? I’ll wait. Don’t be a liar. Mmmmmm. Some truth there. I little touchy. You said I was a non donor. Your words, nor mine.

In most cases I would agree however after week 1 and the debacle with concessions and then a major adjustment for week 2 was a definite positive that was a result of AD BJ Sending out a survey and also from him walking the stadium and seeing first hand that changes needed to be made! AD BJ is in a bad position here and time will only tell how he handles the situation , especially when relaying the negatives to Dr Jack and proposing a change! I am optimistic because of my interactions with him! I know he wants the best for Troy Not to keep dumping but an experienced AD would already know what was needed, planned it out and put in contingencies. The debacle should have been avoided in the first place. It’s not rocket science and the answers are not unknown.

My understanding is that he had a 3 year contract with an option for the 4th year based on wins! I could be wrong. If it is a 3 year deal maybe there are other options ! Demote him The problem is that he brought on Luke Meadows as the O line coach and OC and we are substantially worse in both catagofoes Four year deal with an option to add a year after the first year. That option was not picked up. It’s just a four year deal now

Will Jack allow a move to me made midseason? He wouldnât with LB. Extremely different circumstances obviously. LB had done a lot for Troy. (The HC we don’t speak of) hasnât to this point. Time will tell.

Let’s recap I trusted the search committee when they hired dip I knew it wasn’t going well three games in first season Dip portrayed an image that he did not inherit as good of a program as we thought Second year dip blamed Covid After two recruiting classes dip claimed that they were the best recruiting classes we’ve ever had Year 3 is totally on him and we now get to see the product of Dip Against 3 FBS opponents we witnessed what could be the worst display of ( first half ) offensive football in Troy History We must act and act quickly to stop the damage! No one from the administration takes this message board seriously and that is fine! What you must do is be respectful and emailAd Bj and express your concerns. If you don’t you can’t expect anything to change. I have already sent my email! Nothing to disagree with here.

I personally don't know Coach Sumrall, but apparently a lot of my Troy friends do. I remember on game days when they would leave the tailgate and say they were going to go chat with Coach Sumrall. I always wondered how the heck a coach had time to chat on game days, but apparently he made time visit a few tailgates and talk to the fans. It should also be said, that if we wanted a program modeled after XHCNB, then I think Sumrall could possibly be the guy to do it. I'm not campaigning for Coach Sumrall, I just wanted to share my limited memory of his time at Troy. Jon could connect with anyone, win you over without trying. His enthusiasm was contagious, and it showed in his players. Worked in HCNB system. Hindsight 20/20, three years hence, Troy Football forum not in meltdown mode 2.5 years later. Facts. Pesky ole facts.

Here here! I can’t wait to see the answer to your question. Im thinking it goes unanswered here. If you have to ask your not in that category. I donate because of my love of the school. But trust me there are no real elite donors that stand out. I have no idea where my ranking in donation amount is (and don’t care) but I know I’m not in the very top echelon but I get my emails/phone calls returned. Which is alright by me. Every dollar counts. In a perfect world, shouldn’t compare amounts. Need FULL engagement. Maximum participation. Troy Administration has a lot of improvement to engage and get new donors while keeps existing ones. Guess I’m not a donor. Go Auburn or Bama. Time to move on.

Maybe your original question will actually come back with a real answer. I kind of doubt it so I filled in some blanks for them. Ha. Your answer is as good as any other that will be spewed here by the keyboard ADs and coaches.

“ AD's relationship with its donors has been absolute trash. Its embarrassing” TRUTH !! Hmmm, cornhole never got a birthday card or anniversary flowers from Jeremy Mc?? either. But, I never wrote a checK over $eason Tix to Troy Athletics either. Guess I'm not Donor Worthy. What or "how much" would you call a DONOR? Here here! I can’t wait to see the answer to your question. Im thinking it goes unanswered here.

Somebody needs to tell the side judge that there is no way Troy can cover the spread and his bet on ULM is solid I told him exactly that.

Great time was had by all those in attendance. From the river running through the tailgate to an awful offensive first half. A win in the end makes for a good Sunday morning. How do you know a great time was had by all in attendance? What about Karl? Karl ate a gas station hot dog and washed it down with a fifth of Wild Turkey. Karl did not have a great time. I am Karl

Louisiana looks good against Ohio and thus are making the SBC look good on ESPN. LaLa is soft compared to previous seasons. We need to man up.

We are stuck with (The HC we don’t speak of) until the end of the year no matter what our record winds up being. If we're looking to replace him then do we go find a red hot coach in FCS and bring them up to FBS or do we find an assistant coach to a great team who is looking to prove himself? It's true that Troy has had success with SEC assistants but I think that time is running out. We need a huge culture change so we need an ambitious I-AA coach. Thatâs stupid. Itâs not about their background. Itâs about their structure, attention to detail, and willingness to put the work in to succeed.

WE don't watch Press Conferences. We DO enjoy Saturday college football with friends, tailgates and all the atmosphere surrounding same. We HATE to see our teams lose but we endured the last 4 years of ugliball with HCLB and we'll endure whatever this brings.. or not. It ain't about us, or just a singular coach. Time's just too precious to sacrifice the opportunities with friends, supporting the athletes, the program and meeting new friends!! Miss y'all in Hattie? We'll be there cheering! Spot on! Looking forward to the trip!

I think we all know the answer Hemi - I agree that we all know the answer. You have been around Troy athletics for some time now - seriously - What would the conversation be regarding Neal's job? Worse, as bad, still believing?Â
I don't think it would be any different
I think the same heat would be on Neal if his record was similar to (The HC we don’t speak of)âs. What makes it worse is how good everything was going when Neal left.

Serious question - if Neal Brown had performed the way (The HC we don’t speak of) has thus far, would we all be happy with Neal? Also, understand what Neal was given - Pre-Brown 2011 Troy 3â9 2â6 7th 2012 Troy 5â7 3â5 6th 2013 Troy 6â6 4â3 2nd 2014 Troy 3â9 3â5 Tâ7th Total: 17-31Neal Brown 2015 Troy 4â8 3â5 Tâ5th 2016 Troy 10â3 6â2 Tâ3rd W Dollar General 2017 Troy 11â2 7â1 Tâ1st W New Orleans 2018 Troy 10â3 7â1 Tâ1st (East) W Dollar General Troy: 35â16 23â9 (The HC we don’t speak of) (The HC we don’t speak of) 2019 Troy 5â7 3â5 4th (East) 2020 Troy 5â6 3â4 5th (East) 2021 Troy 1â1 0â0 (East) Troy: 11â14 6â9 Total: 11â14 I think we all know the answer

Not calling a timeout before halftime had the time management skills of Les Miles and Mark Richt all over it. No defense for that or chippy Saturday Who has defended him or the call?
