There's a lot of chatter in multiple threads here about the dissatisfaction toward (The HC we don’t speak of). I've taken the position that he should be given two seasons to get things going his way. We aren't there yet, but it's not too early to talk about "What if". I have no idea whether or not we will win out, lose the rest of the games or finish the season with some combination of wins and losses. I have no idea if a move will be made to replace (The HC we don’t speak of) or not. IF, however, that occurs, why not push the envelope?
There's a lot of information coming out of court transcripts and sworn testimony in legal proceedings involving Art Briles. All of this information indicates that the Baylor football program, and Briles specifically, was made the scapegoat by Baylor administration to deflect attention away from a campus wide problem. There is no indication that Briles violated any university policy, any terms of his contract, or any laws. It appears the PC crowd canceled him and the Baylor program with zero evidence of wrong doing.
Is he a pariah in CFB at this time? Yes. Is that fair? It appears not. He is a good FB coach and he took Baylor to places they'd never dreamed of (the only two Big 12 titles in school history). I'm not saying that he's the guy for TROY. I'm not saying that there will even be a change. If there is a change though, we should look at Briles, do due diligence to make sure things are as they now seem concerning the end of his tenure at Baylor and, if so, ignore the PC crowd and give him consideration. He wants to coach CFB again and he will not get a chance to do so starting at a major institution. A place LIKE Troy might be just what he's looking for.
We took a chance once before on a coach with a tainted name that many felt was a fall guy and it worked out pretty well.

Troy is as woke as it gets. They are also tied in deep with China. Controversial hire is not in the future for us. The school that gave Football God Larry Blakeney a second chance is no more.

Not sure if Troy would hire Briles. They better have a short list since our head coach has stepped out.

Tom Herman could be on his way out of Texas so that's a possibility or we hire a red-hot coach from a top 10 I-AA team.

Troy will give (The HC we don’t speak of) the Covid pass and allow him to stay another year even if we didnât win another game IMO.
I think if he didnât produce in 2021 he would be let go.

Bama had the same problem decades ago when they always wanted to hire a coach with connections to Bear Bryant. It did work in one case but after awhile it didn't net the results they wanted so they went out and hired a good coach and the results speak for themselves.

We definitely have a yo-yo season here with The following: Excellent play Pretty good Meh Not to good Hide the wife, daughter or girlfriend . MTSU:Pretty Good BYU: Not to good Tx St: Pretty Good EKU: Hide the women folk!
We seem to alternate so for Jar Jar St should be pretty good and we may lose or win but it will be close. Then for Ark St : leave the women in Alabama! So forth and so on. That is where coaching comes in so we shall see

After sleeping on it, our football program is a doo doo show. Fire this guy at the end of the season. I hope he proves me wrong and wins out.

We are stuck with CL through the end of the 2021 season even if we didn't win another game. Troy doesn't have the money to buy out his contract and the administration's #1 priority is caving to the woke crowd and renaming buildings. CL Was a horrible hire and the next coach somewhere around 2022 will have to rebuild the wall again. This is what happens when you hand a race car to someone who can't drive...they wreck it and have someone else fix it

Sorry Chizik was not that great of coach. But he was good at having Cam Newton take Auburn’s highest bid for his services for a year. Besides that year he won very few games in the SEC

He’d be my last choice out of the ones I mentioned.

Matt Moore and Jon Sumrall would both be good choices. I also like the idea of grabbing a winning HC from 1-AA.

If we are going lower levels, then why not look at Pete Shinnick at UWF? He took a startup to a Natty pretty quick. He knows our geography.

A too early thread with way too early HC prospects deserve each other .......some of these names ?
I’ll concede Sumrall,he is worthy just needs to check the coordinator box somewhere IMO.

I believe in (The HC we don’t speak of)!!!!! I believe in UFOâs I believe in The great Pumpkin I believe politicians tell the truth! I believe that we can win Saturday!
One of the above is true And one can be if we get a consistency going and no consistent inconsistency does not count as consistency!

Sumrall and Will Hall are two that had impressive interviews that last time around. They may have a leg up, if, and when.
cornhole just can't fathom how this crew got hired. Maybe $$$?? Dear Leader et al have folks on board very sensitive to $$ and not results.
Evidently got what we paid for ??
