I’m glad everyone on here coaches for a living. Trust the process. We looked a lot better than the previous years. Calling for the safety might not have been what you would do in your peewee football game but you don’t coach the Troy Trojans football team. Get on board with the coaches or go find another team to criticize the coaching. I for 1 believe in the process and we were in a position to win. If we make the field goal earlier the play calling might have been different but noone is talking about that. Im not getting on board with boneheaded calls!!! Then I’ll help you pack your crap and go

For some stupid reason I decided to check out this board. The safety had no bearing on the outcome. You don’t think they could have gotten to midfield had we punted? A Hail Mary trumps it every time. Had they won by a FG, all your arguments work. Outside of that, we played as hard as a Troy team has played since 2018. We lost. It sucks. App is good. We hit them in the mouth a lot and we will hit Marshall in the mouth too. Future is very bright. Y’all take some time away from the keyboards for a minute. Never let reason get in the way of being a clown. This board is full of them.

If you don’t think Jon Sumrall wanted to win that game you’re crazy. Listen to the tone and tears. Give me a break to anyone who says differently. Dont care how much he wanted to win ,I want a million dollars really bad!He lost and again it doesn’t matter if it’s 4 or 400 it’s a loss that he had a big hand in!

The ball was on the 11. We would’ve punted out of the middle of the end zone with 25 seconds left. Botched snap, blocked punt, many things could happen.
Snap to Gunnar. Take the safety but run 5 seconds off the clock before taking the safety.
Now your kicking from the 20 off of a tee. Much safer play bc you’re kicking anyway. Able to flip the field. Now 20 seconds on the clock.
Makes sense to me.
Give the defense their best shot to win the game!
Playing to win.
That’s my take.

You’re the bonehead. Get out of here with the negativity. Game was closer than it should have been and a Hail Mary touchdown wins regardless of the last offensive play call. JS needs to apologize to his players and fans for his bonehead call

For those only seeing negative, finding no good, questioning whether they are with this team… I played on 4-6, 5-5, and 5-6 Trojan teams. That 5-6 years was LB’s first, and we had some heartbreaking losses.
I would ask you to not give up. We have a first year and first time HC. He’s learning just like the team is learning a lot of new stuff.
I don’t pretend to understand that safety, but it wasn’t THE decisive play. As a DB, I also don’t like the ball bouncing versus being spiked straight down. That was poor execution.
But there were positives. Let’s face it, we haven’t been remotely competitive with these guys for 3 years. There are NO moral victories, but there were lots of learning points. Good coaches will use those to get better.
I feel hope that our 10-1 and 12-1-1 types of seasons (those were my last 2 season’s records) are coming. The team needs all of us to pull for them. Let’s stick together and pull them through this!
Go TROJANS!!!

Y’all can say what you want, but Troy found their identity tonight. Our offense and defense was a night and day difference from game 1 and 2. Offense was clicking. Loss sucks but I see nothing but positives moving forward.

I take the blame, I watched the game. I won’t watch another one this season, maybe the outcome will be better.

For those of you who want an apology from Coach, I hope you listened to the postgame. Through tears he said that was on him, said he did not have them ready for the final play. Said if you want to blame someone, blame him (which many of you have). That is why these team will run through a brick wall for him. That is why this team is on the right track. This is wy many of us are happy with the decision to hire this staff and this is why not even message board clowns can take away from how bright our future is. Any of you who said Troy would not be 1-2 at this point in the season is a liar also.

For all of you talking sh** about summerall y’all are absolutely stupid. On paper we should have never been in that game but look where we were. All y’all want to be coaches and keyboard genius’s need to take a rest. Y’all are absolutely clueless and it really shows. If you hate what happened then go find another team to cheer for. Y’all are absolutely clueless when it comes to football and it shows

You’ve obviously never played the game or been a part of a locker room. Keeping a game like that close after 3 years of getting your teeth kicked in can surprisingly still improve morale. Stay in your dungeon and behind your keyboard and go cheer for the tide. You’re the bonehead. Get out of here with the negativity. Game was closer than it should have been and a Hail Mary touchdown wins regardless of the last offensive play call. A 4 point loss with two seconds counts a loss just as much as a400 point blowout!

Listen to me carefully. We now have an opportunity to win the west and face these guys again.
Now that I have calmed down, I am full of joy that we are on our way back.
I’m all in on Sumrall.
If we fix the defense and hire a strategist, we have all the potential in the world.

Everyone needs to understand that there is a middle ground. Did HCJS need to say he messed up? Yep, because we all saw him do it. I'm glad he didn't pass the blame. Am I passed that we lost a game we should've won? Yup, and am going to be for a while. I don't care what paper says, App St beat TAM last week regardless of what was on paper. We should've done that today and choked on the paper. Do I want any coaches fired? No, and most others done either. I love to see accountable coaches, he made a bad gamble and owned up too it. Cool, still mad about it but I'll get over it.
I'll be there next weekend with my band of 30 kids enjoying the game and cheering on the good guys.
Today just hurts and it's going to hurt for a while

I have been a part of a locker room and I’ve been part of a bigger team in the military,there is no such thing as a moral victory and 99% of the time a close loss is filled by getting blown out.In fact losing like that makes you feel like you can’t win even playing over your head!
