No reason to bring anyone in. Move Matt Moore to OC, hire Levi Brown as QB coach, Sean Ragan handle RB's and WR's

Exactly ... it's part of the system. When Kenny first came back when NB was OC ... Kenny bought more of the power and "backdoor" option look (not only the read option for QB, but also using motion WRs in the option game) he'd been using at UNA for years. Check the numbers ... even during our 4 year drought ... it was rarely the offense that lost games. I admit I'm biased ... he is a teammate and friend ... but understand Kenny has a great reputation in the profession! Was mentioned for several jobs over the years ... turned down some to stay at Troy. I know it's tough for Kenny to leave Troy (if he does) ... but I know working with Steve and Greg again is a big deal. Also, as a couple have mentioned ... a great guy. When I volunteer coached for a small HS for a decade or so ... he was always gracious to meet with our offensive coaches and helps us anyway he could. Great football mind. If you will remember the last time we went to the NOLA bowl ULL was making a run at KE. Yep, Corey and Jerrel exploded that night. Maybe the same stars align this weekend

IMO Kenny runs what our offense can do with the talent we have Our QB is not a runner people - when Barker or Smith get back there - if KE is still here - you will see a very different scheme - I think If he is so bad - why are we 20 - 5? Is Neal Brown the ONLY coach. Don't get me wrong, Neal B is a GREAT one! But to the point made earlier, when we were scoring 45 and losing because the other team scored 48, nobody complained.

He's not bad at all. We all saw what ARKST did once Blake Anderson took control of the offense. Buster Faulkner had been running the show. I have no clue how much control KE / Neal Brown have over the offense, but if Neal Brown hasn't had as much input as he would like, then it could be a good move. I do think Neal is better than Edenfield as an offensive mind.

One interesting note on this ... if Kenny does go to South as OC ... it would be pretty unique I think that the HC, DC, and OC of an FBS school were college teammates! I'm sure it's happened before ... but I bet not often. And, as someone mentioned I think ... that's the type thing that every ESPN (2,3,Ocho) broadcast crew will mention. And, of course ... every time they do ... they'll say "teammates on Troy's 1987 National Championship team"! Good advertising for us! Another note ... I was actually on the Steve's and Kenny's first staff ... the 1987 Troy Kappa Delta Powder Puff team! Made it to championship ... as I recall! About to head south ... Go Trojans!!

From that 1987 Team there is a pretty good coaching tree. A D2 National Championship, A JUCO Nat Championship, HS State Championships, Multiple FCS Playoffs And D2, D3 Playoffs, Multiple Conference Championships at the D3, D2, FCS, FBS, Juco and High School levels. And in my own case I coached the Senior Knights to the 1996 MCYFL Championship in my only year (Legend in my own mind) I installed our old no-huddle offense we ran at Troy. This was when nobody ran no huddle and I had coaches calling timeouts to complain to the refs and filling complaints that I had to huddle. How football has changed lol And Doc I remember that powder puff team you coached. You had a girl that could throw a football 40 yards in the air and a DL that ripped a girls shorts completely off lol

Per Football Scoop, KE is expected to leave to be OC at South. Cornhole heard an earful in NoLa. NOT mostly keyboard coaches.

According to Wikipedia (take it for what it’s worth) KE is headed to USA. I kind of have mixed feelings about it. I wasn’t super confident in him as a play caller but I do see that we were a struggling football team in those years particularly defense. He seems to be a great coach and recruiter. Him teaming up with Campbell could and probably will raise great results in an area that is fertile in recruiting. I think we’re fine for now (assuming CNB is sticking around) but I am a bit concerned about where we will go now after CNB tenure. I do have faith that we will make a good hire when he goes but it seems like USA is picking up our potential “next step” plan.

Its a done deal. All the best KE. The opportunity to coach with two former teamates and great friends, I can understand him going.

Funny, the Mobile media and South fans are trying to spin it as if they stole our main offensive mind from us.....reality vs fiction.

I look forward to all of the staff and player personnel changes for the Trojans next year., Better yet, think I'll wander over to their board and accuse them of larcenous acts!!!! 👀 😂
