WOW!! I just received a mass email from Ad Brent Jones to Troy former players about a zoom meeting Wed requesting our input into the leadership and other qualities we think a coach should have. I am absolutely blown away by this. I hope as many players as possible can be on this zoom and I will trully try to be. This can only help in this most important decision. Kudos Brent. You just earned mine and all former players respect.

Between the press conference today and this move, Brent is is showing he’s capable of doing the right things if Hack Hawkins isn’t on his throat.

Brent is a class act and wants to win and loves Troy! I also think that he has a lot of vision and ideas and I am happy that he is reaching out! 3 years of (The HC we don’t speak of) has done a lot of damage and this is a great way to start to rebuild ! RTW

We have a lot of great representatives that don’t get talked about enough. Lawrence Tynes included. He goes out of his way to share anything Troy.

That's awesome news. This is something you dont hear of very often I would think. Always good to get extra eyes on what's important to the program.

Frankly - Troy should use these guys with media and social media to promote this hire. Two big names with big rings. Throw Jarrell and Tynes in as well. Big opportunity to publicize a great hire.

Outstanding meeting with players from the 1970's to 2017 giving valuable input. Three HOF players on the call and three former NFL players. I can assure you, they are going to get this right. Key points- character, recruiting, knowing how to win at Troy, disciplne, community involvement. Outstanding job by Brent Jones

I mean that should be a given but with the (The HC we don’t speak of) hire you never know what Hawkins might pull.

I said early three HOF it was actually four HOF players. Huge turnout and some players that played under Neal stated the changes Neal put in that made a huge difference.

Brent took 6 pages of notes. And his assistant had his head down taking notes throughout. Thorough. The input wasnât just âheardâ; he circled back with points learned and absorbed. Great step! Very much appreciated.

Brent also has the associate ADs out passing the hat. So he’s not wasting an opportunity to make a few bucks off the coaching change.

One key point that was brought up constantly and i agree with 110% was that "Troy is a special place, it takes a special coach to understand what it takes to win at Troy" Good input from players that were from Cent Fl, to AL, to GA and even Boston. I really liked what I heard and for the most part everyone was on the same page in what we need.
Disclaimer- heard multiple times (last three years were brutal to watch), ((The HC we don’t speak of)'s wife HATED Troy the first time he was here, why was he even considered?), ((The HC we don’t speak of) had no discipline)

While the (The HC we don’t speak of)'s were here in 2010, she was a drug rep and as you know those companies are bought and sold regularly. She lost her job due to that and his salary for QB coach back then was very low. No way to raise 4 kids on that income. The closest thing she could find was in Birmingham which is what led to him getting the job at Spain Park.
