It AMAZES ME the number of unemployed college football coaches, athletic directors and support staff on this board. What REALLY amazes me is that not one of them was hired (nor did they apply) for a job they feel they are acutely better qualified for than the person(s) being hired. SMDH And I bet you 100% trust the government to. You didn't apply for nor qualified for those positions either so dont question or disagree with anything government does. They were hired to do that job. Trust and agree with every decision. No difference. We dont have Jesus as a HC. I'm not perfect and neither is he. We are all free to question until proven wrong. NB wasn't my choice but I quickly became impressed starting with the staff. So if I'm wrong or he impresses me I'll be the first to admit it. Right now I'm under impressed and I have a right to not agree. WOW, I guess you put on the shoe and it fit! How tyou bring in the government and MY feelings that you would bet on. Especially not having a single clue on where I stand, politicallly. Nor have I EVER discussed pilitics on a Football Fan Board! By the way, in case you missed it, our government leaders are not hired, they are elected! Question the decision? You bet, but to come out and communicate that this guy or that guy isn't qualified is certainly the responsibility of ONE GUY, (The HC we don’t speak of), that is all. Continue to amaze me, makes my day, every day! Some things you just can't fix!

Do we have the contract details of Coach (The HC we don’t speak of)? My guess is that they will wait until pre contract details are discussed and then post ALL of the details right here on this message board. Probably with a 24-48 hour critique period by the contract subject matter experts on this board to digest and provide valuable contract language insight to Troy Leadership before the final signature. I also fully expect that every assistant coaches contracts to be introduced for discussion, again on this sight. It is unclear if these announcement's and recommended language inclusions will be in the 'open' or just on the private Trojan Warrior page. I fully expect Troy to solicit ALL of the opinions they can get from the board. As we seem to have all the answers and plans moving forward. But that's just me!

Yes I absolutely think you could see one or both of them on (The HC we don’t speak of)âs staff, contingent on who the DC will be. Lesley has a relationship with both, and (The HC we don’t speak of) has a connection to Felton through Rush Propst. Rush as OC. NOW THAT would be a GREAT HIRE! I know, I know there are many on this board that think Rush is scab and isnt worthy of a chance, but DUDE CAN COACH. This would be a GREAT opportunity to give a guy a second chance in the state of Alabama. He has faced his demons head on and has survived in Moultrie, Ga. Top 25 HS in the country and his offenses are incredible. If there was ever a time to get him here and give him a chance, this is it. I would love for it to happen (I have forgiveness and forgetfulness in my heart) it would be a GREAT DAY for Troy University. I hope he has severe ties with (The HC we don’t speak of) and gets a chance! Let him tell his story to the moms and dads that remember. Use the 'don't ask/don't tell' method when on the trail.

Watch (The HC we don’t speak of) lead Troy to an upset win over a Top 25 Missouri next season... then everyone is going to be on the (The HC we don’t speak of) Ship. ...and if he doesn't many on here will be calling for "dip the (The HC we don’t speak of)" (see what I did there?)!!!

Be positive. At least try, you my like it. You heard the team wanted Sumrall on this board, which we all know is as about accurate as the weather forecast 10 days out. All those kids want is to win. 4 years ago do you think those kids in the locker room wanted someone else besides Neal Brown ? Still think itâs a great day to be a Trojan? Yep. I'll support the team and he can prove me wrong. Like I stated I said my opinion. He's the HC and he has to win and if he can't with what NB left him then refer to my opinion on the AD. Go Troy If I remember correctly, about 4 years ago you had some similar sentiments about Neal Brown. I think it was an FCS coach that was being opined for. To go about bashing our AD and how "HORRIBLE" this hire is. Maybe, just maybe he knows what he is doing. My understanding that it was an 'experience' thing with (The HC we don’t speak of) vs. Jon and (The HC we don’t speak of) won out. Jon has NEVER been a coordinator. Neal was an OC at three different places before being hired at Troy. I think this was a smart call by Jeremy and I will stand by him. He was hired to do a job and he did it. You dont think he hired the right guy, OK! That doesn't mean he is the WRONG GUY, he is just the guy You don't like. I guess as the hiring manager it boiled down to "who has the most experience and background" and (The HC we don’t speak of) won. GREAT DAY TO BE A TROJAN! Go Troy - HAVOC!!

Perspective folks. Now leave our new HC alone! Damn it Cornhole! Hemi has already purchased the food for the family reunion! What is he going to do with the possum, cheese grits, collard greens and smoked Armadillo Dip? "Hemi, Cornhole was teasing, cousin Jeremy IS NOT coming home!!!"

So apparently WVU has set up permanent operations at Troy International Sky Harbor. They are flying from WVU to here, picking up one of their coaches that has probably been using our gear all week and taking them to San Antonio. Then they are flying back to Troy to pick someone else up before flying back to WVU. Somebody count the pens in the supply closet, because lunchbox is stealing us blind. Maybe Neal came back to address the team face to face? Naw, Neal would do that? First day back from holiday break! I'm guessing you are right!

Here is my issue with Roberts: Delta St 2008 10-2 2009 5-5 SELU 2013 11-3 2014 9-4 2015 4-7 2016 7-4 2017 6-5 Do we want up and down or do we want improvement yearly? I would interested to know if those records are indicative of the number of D-1 transfers and JUCOs they had on those teams. FCS and D-II often rely on those types of players to re-build or jump start programs, but hard to sustain due to time on campus and to build any chemistry or rhythm. I think his DSU connection is probably what has gotten him a listen. To what end? We will have to wait and see. Hoping it is Sumrall

Classes don't even start back until tomorrow, 9 Jan. So I am guessing they have been visiting family, resting, wondering who their coach is going to be, etc. I would think that they would assemble on Wednesday, when the new coach is hired and announced for a meet and greet! Then it will be back to work, back to the classroom, and into learning the new scheme, system, coaching philosophy, and expectations from the new coach. But, hey that's just me, a "little man that hides behind his keyboard"!!! trojan.troy.edu/academics/calendar.html Ok, I've not kept up with class schedules since my daughter graduated. I noticed a comment about one of our early signees being on campus so I assumed they were back plus my wife is a teacher and they have been back since Jan 2. Also do we know for a fact they are announcing the new coach tommorrow? According to BuzzLY, it is tomorrow, but I "dont know" for a fact. However, it only makes sense due to the Dead Period being over, recruits needing to be contacted, etc. As with every new coach I would expect that things will move really fast once the announcement is made in order to secure the recruits and, hey, maybe get some of the guys the "new guy" was interested in at his previous school. Obviously lots of work to be done after the hire. I just hope we don't buy the first car we drive and we make the hire for the right reasons not for some 'timing reasons' but we shall see. I fully anticipate an announcement by tomorrow afternoon, but that is just me.

Maybe I'm just not smart, but I've never heard of Roberts or Hall JonesO, Roberts was at Delta State, where he was in the playoffs A BUNCH from 2007 - 2011, then on to SE_La. I am sure there are some ties with Jeremy from those days. Will Hal JUST signed on as Tulane's OC in Dec, Was at Memphis prior year, at LA-LA as OC in 2017 and was HC at West Alabama and West Ga. The other two, we obviously know about. keeping my fingers crossed for Sumrall, hope it is him. Will be happy with whomever, as I have tons of faith and belief in JM to make the right hire!

I am curious as to what the team is doing. Are they just sitting around playing xbox in the field house or is someone running work outs? Classes don't even start back until tomorrow, 9 Jan. So I am guessing they have been visiting family, resting, wondering who their coach is going to be, etc. I would think that they would assemble on Wednesday, when the new coach is hired and announced for a meet and greet!

Don't put words in my quotes that I didn't say and I don't hide behind a keyboard, you want to poke at me go ahead. You say "you don't want to know" that you "don't care" but you go on and on about the subject, maybe stick to the podcast where true colors are shown! And this is why I have just 37 posts on this board. NAILED IT!

To what end? Don't preach to me about the "state" of Troy Athletics, anyone with a smittin of sense can tell our Athletic Dept is in GREAT SHAPE! The fact that you don't know doesn't automatically give you the right to DEMAND the contents and parameters of an individuals contract buyout! Do you know what Coach Smarts buyout is? Do you know what Coach Cunningham's buyout is? Do you know what Coach Rigby's buyout is? Probably not. So your saying our Athletic Dept cant get any better? We don't need any more resources? We are good we don't need that money? I'm not demanding anything. I was just asking what his actual buyout was. I am so sorry I offended the angry little man that likes to yell at people behind a keyboard just by asking questions. No, I don't know what their buyout is and frankly don't care right now because they didn't just get hired by WV. Don't put words in my quotes that I didn't say and I don't hide behind a keyboard, you want to poke at me go ahead. You say "you don't want to know" that you "don't care" but you go on and on about the subject, maybe stick to the podcast where true colors are shown!

Negative, you care about the buyout because you don't know the number and feel like you have "the right" to know! Unfortunately you/we do not have that right! If you are PISSED about the number, go troll on USA Today's site and BLAST THEM for not telling you the real number! I think it is HILARIOUS that some folks here think they have THE RIGHT to know the details of every deal! SMDH! you have some anger management issues. Keep calm little man. All the yelling and screaming will do you know good. We will see about the buyout when it officially come out but we got hosed. "Little Man"? You don't know me at all, do you ever come to the games? If you did and you came to the best tailgate on campus, then you would absolutely change your description, funny man!

That is not how this contract was reported to be written up.

We care about the buyout because that should have been 2.9 million dollars being paid to our university and athletic program. If you care about the state of Troy Athletics then you should care about the buyout. That's not very hard to understand, is it? Nailed it.

Why does ANYONE care about the buyout, or its contents, or its total? What do you plan on doing with that information? Are YOU going to be the one making the decisions about the next coach and his contract? Do you just want to know because you fell an 'incessant need" to be in the know?
Just don't get what all this (4 pages) of hub bub is about over the buyout? It will have ZERO, NONE, NATTA effect on the hiring of our new coach! All of this pontificating and guessing and DEMANDING TO KNOW is just time being wasted on something that means ZILCH in the big picture of things!
Let's just let this play out, then ALL OF YOU (US) can B****, moan and complain that "our guy" wasn't "THE GUY"!
My goodness folks, take a break.
The illusions on this board cease to amaze me!
HAVOC
