Capt Jack has the #1 pick. Is he going to take a Peyton Manning or a Ryan Leaf?

Just heard from a source that Sumrall had an unofficial conversation with with a Troy fan that I will not disclose... but Coach Sumrall was asked point blank if he was interested in the job and the reply was affirmative. I’m interested in becoming the director of NASA, that would be cool to launch rockets, doesn’t make me the most qualified. P But you are not realistic. Truth be told, this is probably the last chance at Sumrall. He will be a successful head coach one day and you... I'm attaching a link to model rockets so you can start towards your NASA dream. ESTES ROCKETS

I hope that whoever we do AND don’t pick become successful HCs. That means we have a strong process and the best of chances. Go TROJANS!

I believe it was Cornhole who said that it would be hard to be worse then the (The HC we don’t speak of) hire. Signs were there and those that worked with him advised against his hire yet we did. He had a ton of one year jobs. Yet we hired him. So whomever it is I would hope we would all support him Meanwhile Brandon Hall is interim Head Coach and more power to u Brandon. I have no doubts that side of the ball believes in him and staff including Bam and Pogue etc. Can not say that the same confidence exhibited on the offensive side anymore. Anyone who they choose others than Meadows would be fine with me to call plays. Heck we could use Luke Whittemore to do it since he is recovering. Anyone and I mean anyone other than Meadows could do better and no worse than (The HC we don’t speak of). Goodbye (The HC we don’t speak of) and while I do wish you luck I really canât thank u for much of anything given how u single-handedly put a bowl caliber team on the skids for three years. Adios compadre may the wind be at your back and may it be hard enough to blow three years of your stinch off of this program.

Alright, I like Sumrall from what I’ve heard of him but I don’t personally know him like some on the board. What qualifies him? I’m genuinely asking. Like I said, I like what I’ve seen, I’m just thinking that ILB coach to HC is quite the jump isn’t it?

The way I understand it is that he was all in on XHCNB's philosophy of discipline, school and community involvement, and playing smart football. Coach Brown's philosophy was that if you focus on details, then wins will come. It worked.

You mean like his baseball hire? I really donât understand the âno ties to Troyâ sentiment some have. I want all avenues to be explored and I would prefer a thorough search, leaving no rocks unturned and no lines uncalled. But to say âI donât want Troy tiesâ seems like quite the detriment to me. Iâm not sure if all know this, but it would be hard to recruit a kid from a larger city to Troy. You need someone who knows the ins and outs to convince these kids that a tight-knit community is a plus. Thatâs what an ACTUAL âTKGâ could provide.

How about Josh Niblett? Proven, consistent winner at the highest high school level. Absolutely not. If Troy hires our next head coach direct from any high school, it'd be a clear sign we are not taking this seriously. North Texas tried that a little over a decade ago... remember Todd Dodge? It ruined the UNT football program for a long time.

Derrick Ansley top pick for me but I’d be good with Jon Sumrall.

Isn't Steve Campbell a candidate? If he had talent at South Al, or at least some better players he would have been successful.

I don't have any specific names but...
1. No skirt chasers 2. No one who helped cover up academic or sexual assault scandals 3. No P5 coaches fired for constantly losing 4. No straight up jackasses 5. No one who invites trouble everywhere they go and doesn't have even a shred of moral decency 6. Understands the difference between coach and buddy
Would prefer someone who understands these are students who still need guidance, insists on team discipline, and who understands recruiting and coaching in rural/small town areas. I don't care about ties to Troy but they need to understand and be able to work with what Troy is, so I don't see Troy ties as bad.

If Jon Sumrall comes back, I’d like for him to bring Josh Pruitt back with him. He is a Troy Alum, has AHC experience, could coach wide receivers.

Neither Sumrall nor Ansley bring Offensive know-how or experience.
Might we best be looking for an Offensive background and cobble together next year's D staff with some of our existing talent??

I dont mind the powers that be hiring someone with connections to TROY, however, I DO MIND if that is that is the main reason and the school is not looking for other qualifications that shows a winning background that accompanies the applicant.

I'm tired of hiring offensive gurus...I can live with 10-3 games all year long as long as we have the 10. Heck, bring back Cornelius to call plays on offense.

It’s a very good chance Sumrall is snatched up to be HC this off season if we don’t. Where ? You seem certain From Bruce Feldman, one of the most respected college football writers: list of candidates for troy. First mentioned: Keep an eye on Kentucky linebackers coach Jon Sumrall, the Wildcats’ co-defensive coordinator, a Huntsville native. He’s on a lot of athletic directors’ radars because of how well thought of he is in coaching circles. He had been a key assistant for Brown. He earned the title of assistant head coach in addition to his role coaching linebackers and working as special teams coordinator as Brown rebuilt the Trojans program. He has also been a very good recruiter for Stoops. We expect Sumrall, 41, to get a head coaching job soon. Other names: Tommie Robinson, Lance Taylor, Dell McGee, Jordan Lesley, and Derrick Ansley
