Why can’t we just pay him out for year but relieve him today and make Carr or Hall interim coach now?

Want to know the difference between a competent HC and one that is not?
Look at yesterday’s Auburn game and our game.
Harsin realized his QB1 wasn’t getting it done and, for better or worse, made the change to his backup and gave his team chance to win (and yes I realize it was against a Georgia State team that will probably beat our brains out). When it was obvious our QB1 wasn’t getting it done, Chippy stubbornly stuck with QB1 and our fate was sealed.
Harsin is a competent FBS HC. Chiparoo is not.

I would assume most of us are Troy faithfuls on this board: giving a lot of time, effort and money. Does the Athletic Department look at this board? Are WE and yes, I say WE as a whole on this board considered for our thoughts, observations, recommendations, etc. To be honest it seems to be a big slap in the face when this whole board is set fire to unhappy Troy folks who want to see (The HC we don’t speak of) out for sometime now, but yet our voice is not heardâ¦boggles my mind. What route needs to be taken? Fan message boards as university advisory committees?? Iâd like a toke on what youâre smoking. I suggest a personal letter, phone call or email to the AD, Chancellor or Sandy Adkins. Hell she was on that âsearchâ committee.

I have kept silent to observe and see how things shake and I cannot be silent anymore. A team is the identity of its Head Coach at any level of sports. This team is wasting so much talent and potential on a man who at times does not even look interested or aware of what is going on. No leadership or accountability at any level, but it starts at the top. If the head man can get away with it why not a coach, GA, player, filmed? It is extremely disheartening to see how we have dipped from a busting G5 to a team that can not beat the bottom of the barrel. I implore B. Jones to take a deep investigative look at the program from the HC to the volunteer equipment manager and see what needs to change. This needs to be a complete overhaul to being the repair of the culture that we have come to love at Troy (Pre CL). If he truly cares about the school and it’s people he needs to find a man who is a perfect fit for Troy, regardless of pedigree or experience. Find a man who embodies the Trojan warrior spirit whether that is a former coach or player who will bring us back to a respectable and competitive level.

The only thing more important than firing Chippy is firing Hawkins. This is on him. He wanted control of things he shouldn't and hired AuBarns Thanksgiving scraps… Lotta truth to this.

Ok I only slept a few hours so I am somewhat unstable right now but I had a thought. Do not fire the idiot. Tell him to stay home and pay him until the end of the season. Tresspass him if he steps foot on campus’s and appoint a interim HC or maybe even Let LB come back until Ga St game is concluded! It would make national news and set a tone for the program! Whoever we get must instill discipline!

What route needs to be taken? I'm as disappointed as anybody. However, an organization that takes advice from a message board and/or the voice of the fans would be one poorly led organization, even if the message board posters happened to be right. You don't make leadership decisions based on people's' thoughts and opinions. You'd have better luck doing so based on the way the wind was blowing any given day. You do it based on your vision and mission, which would inform you of what decisions to make in order to achieve your goals. Now, I'm not at all believing that TROY followed well or HAD one with this hire. I don't know many who were legit excited about the choice when it was announced. Many were hopeful, many held their noses and thought that maybe it would turn out ok but were cautious in their limited optimism. And many more thought it was a downright dumb decision. I can't think of ANYONE who felt the way it did when Neal Brown was hired, where in your mind you smiled and said to yourself "Okay, now THAT makes sense". Of the options out there, I don't know what would give us that internal "click" or make sense. I know there are some who would be polarizing, that some love and some hate. Right now, I'd take that over the kind of "blah" of (The HC we don’t speak of). What I hate the most is that TROY was SO WELL POSITIONED to catapult ourselves to another place from Brown. The athletic dept. had vibrancy, the finances so far as it seemed were there and doing well, and so many other positive momentums. And THIS is what we did with it. And I HATE it. We squandered it. And as someone else pointed out, that lays at the feet of those decision-makers. THEY are the ones I'm miffed at. They swung and missed...big time! I take comfort in this - though the powers that be may not send any outward signals, there is absolutely NO doubt that they see how badly this is going and that this just isn't working out. I'd bet several pay checks that the duck feet below the surface of the water are doing some kicking that we can't see already and that though it may take some time, the writing is clearly on the wall that (The HC we don’t speak of) is on his way out. (The HC we don’t speak of) is on his way out. That just feels good to say.

I have had a good meal and calmed down. Things happen. I am willing to wait it out. If (The HC we don’t speak of) wins out or loses to South Carolina he may stay until One or the other happens. If he wins out he can get his extension and I personally will give 1,000 dollars to that extension fund. I am pretty sure my money is safe.

Ga Southern just fired their coach. Wtf are we doing? Doing everything we've been doing for the last two years. Letting the entire Sun Belt, including South and ULM, pass us by. Every school in the Sun Belt has their coach, or like Ga. Southern, is actively searching. At Troy, we're still sitting here with ChippyDip asking, "WHY is he still here?" While the admins sit on their thumbs for one reason or another while we're becoming what is practically a MAC team in the Sun Belt.

And if it did, I would not put any money toward an extension fund. At 10-2, I would be very happy as a Trojan fan and for the team, but I would not place any real trust in (The HC we don’t speak of) to even come close the following year. At 10-2, I would be ok with letting (The HC we don’t speak of) have his fourth year option, nothing more, no contract extension.

There is the rub, your putting the program on the back of AD Jones, which is like playing Russian roulette with a six shooter and only one empty chamber. Okay maybe, maybe two empties.

Since then the performance on the field and the performance of the AD's relationship with its donors has been absolute trash. Its embarrassing. “ AD's relationship with its donors has been absolute trash. Its embarrassing” TRUTH !!

Donor: "Depends upon the setting" A) Sperm Bank (approximately a teaspoon amount) B) Motorcycle riders without helmets (any organ will do heart, kidney, corneas, lungs) C) College athletic supporters (even a dollar makes you one) D) Cultural arts supporters (a dollar will do) (not sure why some art is supported but that is just me) E) Political donors (again that dollar)

Maybe your original question will actually come back with a real answer. I kind of doubt it so I filled in some blanks for them.
