This is a fascinating hire — mainly because it seems we’ve always had great hitting coaches lead the program. I like it!

Come on! Get your on-the-job-training at Troy!
He was probably a nickel cheaper than someone with HC experience.
He does have a good pedigree, though. I hope he turns out great.

I like the coaching hire, shows that the AD can go beyond his comfort zone of Southern Miss and Troy folks.

I like this hire a lot.
He’s an outsider to the university, and even the Sunbelt, which stands out immediately as a positive.
Coming from programs like Louisville and SCar, he has seen success and I hope he can translate that to Troy.

Finally got back and glad to be back! I am really happy with his resume. I think he is going to be a great asset to the University and to the club.

Looks to be a great hire, Well done AD Jones. I like this a lot and it reminds me of the type of coach NB was. No head coaching experience but well respected and moved up the ladder. if he is successful which i think he will be i hope we can keep him.

I like this hire too, pretty impressive resume for a guy who has not been a HC. But I will be interested to see if anyone from the previous staff is retained... Would definitely shed some light on the Twitter drama going down a couple weeks ago.

It appears there was a lot more going on behind the scenes than you might think. A lot of interesting tidbits made its way around about some things that had been going on, and this was from people very close to baseball program. I also believe Brent Jones received a small amount of heat from different people close to the program who may have known things and didn't like the "direction" things were pointing towards. But I regress.
I'm glad the hiring process resulted in this coach from South Carolina getting hired.

I watched the presser right up until the new coach was introduced (had to watch jeeps in the mud with the future Troy All American). AD Jones did give out one of his first thank you's to nephew son in law whatshisname.

AD Jones did give out one of his first thank you's to nephew son in law whatshisname. I missed that when I started watching the presser. With all of the drama that had gone on, it makes me think that (if the rumors are true), there might be a long-term power play, and dear leader's nephew son in law whatshisname will be the next head coach. Assuming that he does indeed stay on the staff and is elevated to an actual coaching position.
