The salary pool for (The HC we don’t speak of) was hire than Nealâs in his first year. Hartwell had never been an AD and he was the best one to ever hold the job at Troy. Brentâs salary is open to the public. Iâm very pleased with what heâs done so far at Troy. I would love to see Al come back to Troy, but why would he jump on a sinking ship? Auburn is a sinking ship itself. Who knows if Harsin will retain those guys.
Maybe one day, we can get Jon Sumrall as HC, Al Pogue as DC, and Sean Reagan as OC.
Whether he retains him or not Pogue will get some so offers. I would be happy with that combo.

While I was not a fan of Hartwell as a person, he was a shrewd negotiator. When he hired NB he made sure it was with enough money to seal the deal and the money to attract the right coordinators and assistant coaches. As much as I liked Jeremy McClain, in my opinion, he-with one foot out the door, did not make sure that we had A. the right coach, B. he didn't manage to keep even the same level of funding for coordinators and assistants. C. He left and we had to hire a new AD. So, in one fell swoop we replaced the two most high profile positions in the athletic department with people who had never held those positions. I like BJ and commend him and his staff for pulling off a season when no one thought it could be done. However, you cannot tell me that the state of our athletic program at the end of 2018/beginning of 2019 would not have attracted someone who was already an AD. Again, BJ may have been the best candidate but I think that he also was the least experienced and probably agreed to a lesser salary to get the title. I do agree with a previous post that his biggest test as an AD will come a year from now when he truly has to deal with CL. In the meantime - why for all that is good and right has no one picked up the phone and called Al Pouge?! For the sake of the program some changes have to be made even if it is only for perception. The salary pool for (The HC we don’t speak of) was higher than Nealâs in his first year. Hartwell had never been an AD and he was the best one to ever hold the job at Troy. Brentâs salary is open to the public. Iâm very pleased with what heâs done so far at Troy. I would love to see Al come back to Troy, but why would he jump on a sinking ship?

I take offense to the âGolf Pro Looking â remark (The HC we don’t speak of) is a slob that wears his shirt untucked and might pass for a backyard corn- hole tournament! I take offense. Iâve had a lot of fun playing corn hole in a lot of front and back yards. We wonât even discuss beer pong turned into baseball. ð¤£ð¤£ð¤£ð¤£

So he really was quarantined due to COVID? Not what I heard mind you? I’m not buying this investigation outcome. Dropping my TW completely or moving it from the football program. I’m afraid this will be rather common. Guilty or not the rumors with no response won’t sit well with a lot of people.

Since all of this is being discussed about rumors, I think people are being very wise not to share them on a message board. So to review: We don't know what the rumors are, we don't know if there is any truth to any of it, we don't know how big or how far it has spread, and we can't find any documentation. But yet we're going to demand Troy address allegation that even we don't know about? And folks are going to continue to promote what amounts to slander. Minimum of 7 states currently.

Here is what I think the problem is. (The HC we don’t speak of) Never took the job with a real plan to stay, invest time in the community, develop and win (My Opinion). I think his eyes were set on taking the job, winning for two seasons then bolt for a P5 job. NB was invested in every phase of football and you saw that during those times. Established a culture, himself and the staff were involved more in the community. The roster talent this season I think NB could def win the Sun Belt with. And the team that (The HC we don’t speak of) inherited was in position to do that, something had to have changed in culture or in the locker room in my opinion that led to Marcus Jones and Tyler Murray exit. Offensively the tempo is quick and can produce points. Winning at the G5 level it just takes more than just the highest rated recruiting class and winning. Coastal is not as talented at some positions as we are but they put together a special season and won and made big plays. I don't know what needs to be fixed in particular but it is something. And its the job of the HC to identify that. Agree 100%!

I see this rumor has died a quick death. Come look at the daily texts and calls I'm getting, it's certainly not dead. Same...

Not a good showing but I do expect this team to be competitive. Will be shocked if they don't finish at least middle of the pack to top 4 in conference play - they just had a very bad day shooting in the first half - it took almost 15 minutes to hit the rim Auburn was shooting lights out in the first half.

We don't even know what he allegedly did? Dog fighting? Adultery? Took money from the tip jar at Firehouse Subs? Many of us DO know the allegations. I can assure 99% of Pike Co knows as well as people in at least 6 different states...

Yeah great direction. 1-7 against eastern division opponents since he got here. Trust me there is not much difference in talent among most of the teams in the Sun Belt minus ULM and Tex St. Coaching is the difference. Iâve always believed that players win or lose most of the games. I think coaches are typically good for 2-3 games either way. Win or lose. It appears Neal Brown and company won most of those variable games while (The HC we don’t speak of) (The HC we don’t speak of) and company, to this point lost those games.

INTENSE! First game I’ve attended where there was a flagrant one foul eight seconds into the game. Samford came out of the gate like Troy had been talking about their mama. It never let up and had it not been for the officials calling a ton of fouls, this game probably would’ve gotten UGLY. True grittiness from the Trojans, they could have rolled over in the final minutes and let it slip away but it was clear Scott Cross and company have some TKG’s that have been taking the stairs!! Great win! Maybe you could read the room being there better than I could read the room from a screen, but it seemed like Samford were pretty aggressive all night, including coaches. At the end it seemed as if they walked off quickly because of their coach. Seemed pretty chippy all game! They were Chippy, mouthy, and aggressive all night.

Hate to hear about Parker. I was impressed by him and wanted him to get a shot to show what he could do on the field. However, he apparently wasn't competing in practice. Did he even really have time to learn the system? No Spring ball.

The schedule would be even more exciting if anyone on the team knew how to catch a baseball. Stupid post considering they haven’t even started the season.

Don't follow Twitter but there are several posts on it according to others. So what? Any facts? If anyone here has any facts they aren’t going to be dumb enough to post them.

Haven't see the " the rumors posted about me are absolutely false" tweet yet. If my name was being accused and I was innocent I would fight. Guess his personal life is aww shucks also It may not be as big of a deal publicly as we think it is... because the only places you can find this rumor is here, the Sun Belt message board, and maybe 4 total tweets that all lead back to the same podcast source.
If you're someone that doesn't venture through Twitter or read message boards, you're not going to know about this rumor going around the internet... so you don't know there's anything to even address.
Social media isn’t the end all be all. The bigger issue is the people with power and influence that are calling and asking details.

No hurry. Early signing is tomorrow. Going to look real good to have players sign and HC fired next day Raise your hand if you have personally seen (The HC we don’t speak of) with another woman? I know most on the board hated the guy way before you had something to gossip about. Be careful what you wish for, if he is terminated without proof weâll be paying for a lot more than just the buyout! Not liking him as a coach is one thing, but pushing the University to terminate for something you have no proof of is another. Troy University has lawyers. Iâd it happens it will be once they are through all the legalities. There wonât be any backlash if it happens. It will be legit.
