Man I wish I had a buy out clause or my company had to pay me if they let me go even if without cause. I sure would like to try $250K and hang out or a year.
Good for Vic!

I would take Vic back. But I am guessing he is enjoying time at a beach or mountains or something. Coach Sumrall will hire a fantastic staff I think you are correct on both thoughts! The last I heard I think he was in Gulf Shores (beach) and the mountaineers (mountains) were still paying him! “ Koenning is still on WVU’s payroll, and will receive bi-weekly payments of $9,672.46 from Feb. 21, 2021 through Feb. 28, 2022. That is a total of $251,483.96 for which WVU is still on the hook.” I could get by on that….

Losers mentality is conceding you will ONLY win 7 or 8 games. Winners mentality is play every game going into it that you can win. Better to Aim high and miss than aim low and hit. I am happy to lose the bet. Are you taking it? Don’t bet on Troy, my emotional team Surprisingly, it does amaze me Troy fans are willing to bet on Troy winning ONLY 7 wins. Being a fan is being hopeful. I will never bet on Troy losing. Give next years team/coaches a chance until they show you that it can’t happen.

Chan Gailey took over a 2-8 team, put in a totally new offense and went 8-2 and the next year won a Nat Championship. Will I take 7 wins after the last three? Absolutely. But I fully expect that we are going to shock a lot of people next year.

HCJS and the Trojan team will not.

I agree we have some great pieces of the puzzle in place now, BUT... and most people say everything before the but is BS... I am most pleased that we are going to have a program that is run the right way. I say it a lot, but XHCNB is not winning like he should be at WVU, but he is doing things the right way and I think everyone WVU knows it and that is a great thing.

We can win more than 7, but we need a defense that is top notch. In my eyes, our defense was at its best with Vic running it. 2016, 2017, 2018 we were one of the top defenses in the nation. Let’s get back to that again!!!

Vic did have a spectacular defense but I kind of doubt we are going that route.

I saw at least one former NB staffer in attendance today. Don’t remember his name but the face was familiar.

Vic loves Troy. That statement isn’t accurate. Agreed. I think Vic would finish his career at Troy if given the chance.

Vic hated Troy. I don’t think he’d want to come back for a 3rd time. I never got that impression. I would hope we would at least reach out.

Should Sumrall bring Ryan Pugh back to Troy? He’s currently at Southern. He was going to Baylor but that old black face photo came up and he got fired. Interesting that the black face photo didn't seem to be an issue at a HBCU.

This was a guy I remembered seeing a ton under NB but was not here with (The HC we don’t speak of). I donât know if he went to WVU or just wasnât retained with the previous staff.

If form some reason only one staff member could be retained, I'd hope it would be Smooth. Troy guy through and through.

Youâre talking about the great Webb Hamilton. He was a Senior football analyst under Neal. He was a GA on LBâs staff and would be a great addition to Jonâs staff. Heâs one of two people who has told me multiple times âI want to be on Troyâ. Jon Sumrall is the other one! TKG

Would seem to check a few boxes with familiarity to not only Troy but Sumrall as well. His old bio on the site mentions JUCO ties which could be valuable. I wonder when things will start leaking about Coordinators and other staff positions?
