Since we hired (The HC we don’t speak of) (The HC we don’t speak of) who is a great play caller - agree that Rush is probably not right for the OC position. But if we had hired Sumrall - he is absolutely right. He is a love or hate him type of guy - but he is one hell of a coach, play caller and WINNER. I can confirm I am not Rush. I can also confirm I have family ties to Colquitt County and Moultrie, GA. Those people love him and they want a winner. Rush beats Atlanta schools who have more talent and resources consistently. Last thing I'll say about him (hopefully ... since surely he won't be on our staff!!!!!!) ... I had a coach like that in HS. We won ... but he cussed us, slapped us around, and crap like that. I took it ... cause I didn't know better and figured that was the way it was. (best day of my HS career ... he fractured his wrist hitting me in the head! ) ... But now, when I see grown men cuss, slap, head butt ... Kids (whether HS, Middle School, or small kids ... and I see it) ... I tell them to come over and cuss, slap, head butt another grown up and see what would happen to him!!!! After getting to Troy and playing for Real men ... men of class and character like Coach Gailey and Coach Jeffcoat ... really that whole staff ... I saw what coaching was supposed to be!  Anyway ... just my take. I never had to experience that. My HS HC was the toughest man to play for ever (no water, no taking off your helmet, 3-4 hour practices full contact and 40-40's after every practice) but he never swore or laid a hand on a player and I was blessed to not have coaches do it at Troy also. No place for it. If you can't get on a player without dog cussing him then you have problems imo

How many practices has anyone on this board been in with Rush Propst since he has been at Colquitt County and since he has had cancer?

People can change.....God gives us multiple opportunities to be better and more service oriented. However that has nothing to do with being a college coach....nothing.....

Will be interesting to see if Lesley decides to stay or go to WV. What if we could somehow manage to get Lesley and Sumrall!??ð¤ Send Lesley packing Coach (The HC we don’t speak of), Sumrall would be great to get.

Nobody would - the point is most people base their opinion on a tv show from almost more than a decade ago and make statements on what they saw then vs. the person now You don't like Rush - I do

Free country. You can certainly admire and respect this guy who has little respect for others and himself. If he is such a offensive genius why hasn’t any college, I say any college at any level picked him up ? Because he is a bully who knows if he went to a college setting he would be smoked. He can bully those poor high school kids.

That’s pretty good. XCNBs assistant pool at WVU is $3.5m and VK is quite expensive.

That 2.0M is almost double what Neal Brown got in his first year (1.2M). That's incredible.

I think we were pseudo-promised some more announcements as far as staff. I hope that all comes out by next week. As far as Smooth, it was pointed out by Cornhole his value here is much MUCH greater here than WVU where he is unknown to the players. However, a really important link to the players to the new staff.

He keeps praising the new athletic facilities and overall campus improvements (new student rec center, dining hall, dorms, etc). It’s so much easier to hire good coaches when you have great facilities because it makes their job easier, esp recruiting wise.. It’s not just about the money coaches make. I hope we can build an IPF in the next few years...we really need one.
“We walked in this building, I was blown away. I drove through campus the other day. You go here by baseball, they’re building a new student rec center, the new dining hall. It’s unbelievable what’s been done here. …
“ I just think it’s unbelievable. You talk about being a recruit here, you’re not embarrassed to take him anywhere. You want him to see everything. It’s easy to fill a recruiting weekend when you can do that. I think that’s going to help us continue to have success.”

The D coordinator is likely the most important pick and with Hemi trying to stroke us all out I am sure most of us remember the Dead Bolt defense. It really was. Unfortunately, the dead bolt had are players on the opposite side of the door from the offense. It was terrible. Many of our D backs were closer to those they were suppose to be covering when they were in our locker room before the game. Perhaps the worst D I had ever seen.

It has everything to do about working for the man they picked over you. So unless the players all threaten to quit like they did for coach Yoast and Coach (The HC we don’t speak of) agrees to keep him as DC, it isn't happening

One could be humble and then inform all that he IS the best choice for DC. He simply will not become a HC from a Linebacker Coach. But if youâre right, if he could be bitter and not committed, letâs forget him and move on to the other good candidates
