Just read that Hawkins has announced his retirement for Oct 2025. Regardless of anyone's feelings, overall he has done a pretty good job both academic and athletically. Who knows what we get next. Some academics are not pro athletics so hoping we get one that is not only pro athletics but aggressively so

Quite a run by Chancellor Hawkins. Think about how many different sets of students have rotated in every four years for over three decades! Undeniably Hawkins has left his imprint on Troy and played a key role in shepherding it from a backwater cow college to a much larger university (including but not limited to the prestige of FBS football, etc.) I just spent a few minutes reading this random dissertation of Troy’s evolution into the modern system which I thought was kinda interesting: ir-api.ua.edu/api/core/bitstreams/a4ea695a-ffe1-4203-b897-5d8d8c7bcb17/content

I first became involved with Troy University (Troy State University) in 1992 when I enrolled as a student. Over the course of those 32 years, I've had occasion to interact with Dr Hawkins on numerous occasions ranging from official university functions, to casual encounters on campus, and had shake greetings at athletic events and functions. I have zero doubt that Dr Hawkins doesn't know who I arm, has no idea of my name, and if he ran into me at a gas station in Two Egg, FL, he likely would not recall having ever met me. That said, he has always been kind, gracious, friendly, and, has rarely failed to thank me for being a Troy supporter. Hemi mentioned the political nature of the position Dr Hawkins has occupied for 35 years and par of being a successful politician is being able to work a crowd. IMO, Dr Hawkins always did more than that, he is genuinely glad to meet other Troy people The enthusiasm with which he does this his and his kind personality can't be faked 24/7.
There may be those who have worked with him that would take issue with my assessment, there are doubtless those that disagree with some of the decisions he's made as Chancellor (heavy Chinese involvement comes to mind), and there are those who disagree with the the hands on way in which he has "micro"managed athletic hires. All that said, Troy would do well tho find another Chancellor who loves Troy and Troy people as much as Dr Hawkins, and who is as committed to its growth and success across the spectrum as he has been.
Thank you, Dr Hawkins, from a run of the mill alum that loves Troy and Troy athletics. Enjoy your future retirement.

Not to many people can get handed his degree from a chancellor and 27 years later watch his daughter get her degree from the same chancellor. Troy has only had two chancellors in the last 60 years, not to many if any universities can say that

You don’t know how much I would love for that to happen,I would pay him to show up!He’s just a total self righteous jerk.He gets away with saying things that others would get banned for and I have never once seen him say anything about any sport and be right.He’s content with mediocrity.I really try not to hate anyone but I make an exception for that jacka$$!Poor Dusty Rhodes is rolling over in his grave because this a$$clown is using his pic.

I am not able to have rationale thought. After all I can’t believe they kicked Joe out he was obviously fine to serve another few years. So, with that said: I am still somewhat unclear as to if you are a yes or no on Uncle Jack being a good or bad thing?
