Heck Ms Judy was there before the power T! Yep. Her bio needs updating because it currently contains two dirty words.

It's looking like Darl Bauer is going to be our new strength and conditioning coach. This and the Kennesaw DC hire might be my two favorite hires so far. Bauer was Houston's DC, and has a ton of accolades.

Also, I get the feeling with our coaches having ties to Notre Dame, WVU, and Houston, we might get some real ballers from the portal to restock our supply.

I have to admit (and I love possibly being wrong here) that it looks very promising from a leadership standpoint and I'm excited about that.

I want young hungry bulldogs and it appears that is exactly what HCGP is putting together. You won't be able to sleep on the 2024 Trojans, the scoreboard will glow too bright.

Couple of badass names. If we hire a coach named Billy Jack, I'm going to lose my $hit.

So IF I have been keeping up correctly, all Troy coaching positions are known now except Offensive Coordinator and QB Coach⁉️
Is that correct? Any rumors out there that I have not heard?
2024 AFCA Convention is taking place January 7-10 in Nashville… maybe we are picking them up there‼️

Now the question is … were there extra seats on that bus in case someone needs a ride HOME to their new home 😀😂

If nothing else, they can sit on the cooler that’s in the aisle.

Taking a bus 1.5-2 hrs more for half money and more convenience. Practical and you actually get to move around and have that cooler or two on there!

Looks like Senior Analyst for the Green Bay Packers headed to Normal - Tim Lester. Legend QB at West Michigan. After NFL playoffs.

It appears that Gary Banks, Caleb Carbine, and all of the recently departed coaches not withstanding, there are quality, experienced, and smart football people out there that don't have TROY ties. Let me be clear, lest I cause a dust up, I have ZERO problems with hiring people with TROY connections. In fact, I think there are former players and perhaps some former coaches who would be good coaches for the TROJANS, but I'm glad ADBJ and HCGP haven't limited their search to those with TROY ties. We still have to play 14 games but I am eagerly anticipating the '24 season. I think we will see new and different things in The VET.

Very impressed with HCGP thus far. I feel the same way. Let's hope the team feels the way we do.

OC/QB coach Anyone want to dig up his offensive numbers as an OC HC record isn’t very impressive but it’d be interesting to know how his offenses performed

We still have to play 14 games but I am eagerly anticipating the '24 season. I think we will see new and different things in The VET. Ho would like to point out that "Troy ties" doesn't necessarily mean "playing" for The Normal School. Ho would argue that one can find LB's DNA is all over this coaching staff - most distant, but it's there. LB's Coaching Tree is like a massive oak tree. Ho doing review, it hard to keep up with but it include current NFL coaches. Larry hire Neal when he get out of high school. He not do that, Ho doubt many of these guys would even know about Normal School. How big was hiring the Man way back when? What you see in that stadium and the expectations we have today can be traced back to when he first showed up at Normal School. Most of you losers don't remember. Normal was a good DII program that drew 5,000 people a game, had a track around the field and two trailers stacked on each other for a press box. Larry is a legend. No if, and or but.

I was explaining to someone yesterday that I’d never heard of Tayler Polk, Sheil Wood, Coach Gas and many others until the last two years. They all turned out just fine. I like this group, they have ties from ACC to Big 10, The Notre Dame and all over the south. Talking to one of the guys yesterday and he mentioned a high school coach who is a friend, he’s a local guy who is now in Florida that I’ve known for years. These guys have fingerprints all over our recruiting area. We are gonna be just fine.

Hiring LB led to hiring Neal which led to hiring....well that other guy....and then the next guy....and then Gary Parker who played with Neal and the other guy. The football coaches world is weird. One thing for certain, they know Troy is a great place to win.
