The Georgia Southern game is going to be game 1,000 for the program. I can't wait to be in the stands for that one.

12-1 would be great but i think it is safe to say that if we go 12-1 (The HC we don’t speak of) will be gone to another program where he can destroy them for 2 years in a supposed rebuilding! If we start off poorly it will be clear that he will be gone , but the real problem is 8-4. just enough for the office to consider an extension !

What do yall think about 2021 Football Schedule....Liberty, South Carolina, App State, Georgia Southern, Louisiana, Coastal Carolina... Schedule is nice. I am always optimistic for the Trojans. Yes I hope we win them all. Will the Chipper find his groove in year three ? where everything clicks ? (The HC we don’t speak of)âs situation is unique in a lot of ways. Last year of his contract with zero vote of commitment on his future from the Administration. The direct results of this year determines his future at Troy. The ole âcoaching for his jobâ but in this case itâs true. I think the key is the non conference games, the first 5 games, with ULM throw in. He cannot come out of the first five games with a record of 2-3. 3-2 is survivable. 4-1 would be great. 5-0 would be epic. Normally, (say under a Neal Brown) if we started 2-3 with all the non conference games, I would say that we could rally, start fresh with the Sun Belt slate and make a run to the championship game. But given (The HC we don’t speak of)âs current status, a 2-3 start would start him down a path that he canât recover from. That potential rally would not be possible. I do believe with the talent on this team, 10+ wins season is doable.

(The HC we don’t speak of)'s deal is 4 years so he has next year too. Well......that is if he gets us to the Conference Title game. I think the bar has been set very high for him this year and the cards were put on the table as to mediocrity is NOT acceptable in Troy Football.

Please clarify! (The HC we don’t speak of) has a 3 year deal unless he wins a conference championship? That would make things even more interesting! Winning is the cure to all! I personally feel that anything less than 9 wins sends him packing, itâs also the quality of the losses! After 2 years on the (The HC we don’t speak of) ship and suffering humiliating losses to Mizzou and Ap and losing close games to foes we used to dominate will make it hard for (The HC we don’t speak of) to get back the confidence of the Trojan nation , however if he can turn it around he will earn my respect! I am praying that I will not be sending a negative email to AD-BJ Or Dr Hawkins

Official Contract is 4 year for $2.65 million. All initial contracts are 4 years, for PR reasons.
Buyout amount after year 2 made any move prohibitive. You can guess what direction it goes after year 3. A contract with smaller restrictions to get out of, is the last year of any contract.

My thoughts from a post a couple months ago, with an edit: My 2: if he wins SB, he gets new contract. 3 years added max. Low buyout. They wonât get burnt twice. 8 wins or less: he gone at Thanksgiving. 9 wins: I donât know. This is the tipping point for me. 10+ wins: he gets year 4.

I am pretty sure that our fear is that not that he will have losing seasons .Because if he does that he will be gone. My fear is more that he would have a good year and we would get Steve Robertsed! Roberts was at Arkansas State for about 10 years and went into perpetual mediocrity with 6-6, 7-5 or in that area. That turned out not bad enough to get ran out of town but not good enough to win anything. That is my worry. Simply that he may put the pedal to the metal this year and then slip into Robertsdom. So here is to a good season this coming year. It won’t be easy and it is possible that we go to that 7 win mark and honestly play and be coached better. This conference is just that good. So he had his work cut out for him and I believe he will not be as distracted as last year. So again, here is to a good year!

I'm very optimistic about this season. I think we will see a great turnaround. The players have clearly bought in.
The coaching staff additions were huge also. Plus these players get an entire off-season with Rusty Whitt, instead of spending the off-season at home trying to do things on their own.
I certainly plan on going to the Troy @ South Carolina game. I think we have a great chance to score a P5 win there. South Carolina lost a lot of players to graduation and the transfer portal.
Absolutely agree with you on the chances at USCjr.

Uncle Fester is bad for ticket sales. You can blame the china virus for low attendance last season, but I bought this with last year’s Troy football money: I’m hoping my jeweler calls me for a Rolex this season.

Nice watch! I thought about not buying season tickets because of (The HC we don’t speak of) but I do enjoy my trips to Troy, last year I only made it up once because of all the schedule changes but usually I make it up at least two or three times. I will continue to buy season tickets because I am an optimist and I hope that somehow (The HC we don’t speak of) will have a great year 3 but most of all I think my communication to ADBJ and Dr Hawkins is taken more seriously because I am a season ticket holder!

I have no confidence in Fester or Troy University to field a winning team next season. Troy used to be a place of pride and champions. Now it is we will spend what we budgeted and if we donât win, then that is ok. Iâll buy tickets for the next HCâs first season.

You're not a fair weather fan because you don't like to watch the team you love getting beaten to hell every Saturday.

FWIW: I like the schedule however am tied up On the first game and can not come. Now now the Debbie Downers or the Negative Nancy’s or even the Cataclysmic Chips may say: “heck that is too bad because that is probably our only almost for sure win” I do understand but if I have to miss a home game then that would be one that I would miss the least. Covid be gone there is a chance of attending a couple of away games (USM and Tx St) but have duties for other away games. Anyhoo, if I could see 7 this year that would be an upgrade from last year. Heck and who knows that first one I miss may Only be one of many wins!!! Just looks good and having South on a Saturday is a giant plus. Go Troy!!!
