Bringo! This fascination with proven winners at IAA level is refuted more often than not. Where did Chan Gailey head coach before he was at Troy? Rick Rhodes? LB? Neal? It actually is about culture, attitude and personality. I remember Kansas going to the Orange not too long ago-how did that happen? It took a larger than life personality-too large for many at a basketball school. Troy doesn't need that big of a jolt to turn the ship around. How many times can we expect lightning to strike in the same place? Neal Brown and Larry Blakeney were both exceptional. We're seeing what happens when an SEC assistant that has no clue, no philosophy, and no culture of his own tries to take over another program and let everything else run as usual. If either Ansley or Sumrall are hired they had better win, and they had better win right the hell now. Damn right

I can't speak for him, but I think he means Jack will let ChipDip hang his hat on anything he can so he can save a dime. That is definitely a big section in the decision wheel..... Nah. Chancellor Hawkins is done with this pretender, all of his baggage and the plethora of communications from alums, former players etc etc. NO 4th year, just a matter of when, not if. I think CJH has learned a lesson about hasty Coaching decisions.

The only reason that I can see that (The HC we don’t speak of) is still here us because the game vs SC was competitive and we are still alive in the conference ! A loss to GaSa sends him packing A blowout loss to SC might have done the same thing!

The only reason that I can see that (The HC we don’t speak of) is still here us because the game vs SC was competitive and we are still alive in the conference ! A loss to GaSa sends him packing A blowout loss to SC might have done the same thing! This was the weakest schedule we have had by far. A horrible FCS team, a really bad Southern Ole Miss, A good Liberty team (although not as good as last year), ULM (rated the worst team in FBS last year and we lost. NB beats them 42-10) the second worst team in the SEC (and lost. NB beats them 41-10), A GATA that fired their coach, TX St, A very, very good Coastal team, a good App St, a good La La and a up and down Ga St. And we still can finish 2-10 or 3-9. If this doesn't seal his fate nothing will. Coastal is going to curb stomp us (yes we played them tough last year but they didn't even want to play the game) and App will try to lay the beat down and so will La La. Three years of this, Leopards don't change their spots. (The HC we don’t speak of) isn't going to wake up this Sat morning and all of a sudden the offense lays down 59 points and we win out. He hasn't beaten a great team yet, lost to lousy ones and manages to pull the defeat from the jaws of victory on every good team we have beat. If we lose HC Sat FIRE HIM right after he shakes hands with the GATA coach, promote Brandon Hall to interim HC and Pogue to Asst HC and get the search started. He is an embarresment to me as an Alumni and fan for not only his on field performance but his off field antics as well (throw his wife into the equation and you have a Jerry Springer show). Enough is Enough!!!

I'm hearing Jon Gruden is becoming available. Sell it to him as a way to see if he can take a low tier bottom of the SBC G5 school and turn it into a nightmare to all P5 schools.

We've been known as 2nd Chance U before... I'm down with giving Gruden a chance at redemption.

I fully support hiring The Cookie Monster. Uh, NO. Better look at the reasons he is being let go two years after winning a Nat Championship. He can't sustain a program. He can win with another coaches recruits but he can't sustain a program. He also covered up a sexual assualt allegation against a player and the bottom line he is a .500 coach without Burrows

Brandon Hall needs a real shot at leading this program. What he has done with our defense is pretty special! Maintain the strides on defense and bring in a young Coirdinator to juice things up on offense. No need to tear the house down when only the front porch termites.

Troy should follow LSU s lead. Orgeron makes the announcement after a win ! I really felt they would wait and make the announcement after a loss but obviously this has been in the works for a while! Many of us have been waiting for an announcement from AD BJ and have felt that it would take a demoralizing loss just like at ULM but that is not panned out! So now we come off another win against a very poor Tx st team and (The HC we don’t speak of) continues to hang on to a thread! I am pulling for a win next Thursday and heavens knows the bye week couldnât have come at a better time to prepare for the Myrtle Beach Cocks, but it would have been great to wake up and hear that (The HC we don’t speak of) will not be returning next year! Put yourselves in the shoes of the LSU fans. The beat Florida and now have hope for next year!

No. I don't want anyone from this current staff leading our program. I am fine with Hall as DC (and we will see if our Defense is as good as we think against ULL and Coastal). We have yet to play any kind of offense yet.

There are better, more experienced candidates who could be available for HC. Brandon needs more seasoning in his role here or elsewhere. He's definitley earned his keep here since year 1. Agree, offensive management is a disaster.

Nick Rolovich anyone? I know nothing about him. Other than he stands up for his principles and isn't vaccinated.

That goes a long way. However, he was the highest paid state of employee in Washington at $3M. Highly doubt he’d like to take the pay cut we’d be offering.

Kendall Briles seems like he is on his way up like Neal was. Also the DC at georgia will be getting offers. I'm afraid they will be out of our price range. Need ole premier Hawkins to sell more of Troy to the Chinese

So, we may have several ideas and we may not all agree but I am sensing a general agreement that the only absolute unanimous consensus is no...................(The HC we don’t speak of).
