Neal Brown HC at Troy

[SoFloVFL]

Was his name not mentioned last year during our HC search when we were getting "desperate" for people to take the job? I could be wrong, but I seem to remember his name being mentioned... This would be a great hire if it happened.

 

[VolArmy74]

Fair, just saying it has been done

It does happen, but in fashion more like Enos, who had no realistic shot at getting a HC job of note after failing to do anything of note at Central Michigan for years. For a guy like that a major OC job is a possible path for redemption. For a guy like Brown it makes way less sense imo.

He interviewed for a few high profile jobs, Arizona being one of them. His 3 million dollar buyout was reported as too big an obstacle for them though.

Good coach. Would approve of the hire. But there's no reason to think he's a candidate.

 

[KBVol]

I've seen his name thrown around for OC.

38 Years Old

Played at Kentucky under Mal Mumme, Mike Leach & Tony Franklin

4 seasons as a Head Coach. (34-16) Overall
In last 3 seasons is (30-8) three straight Bowl Appearances with (2) Wins going into the December 22 game vs. Buffalo.

Has served as OC & QB Coach in the past at Texas Tech under Tommy Tuberville and Kentucky under Stoops.


His background is intriguing. IMO

And here we go. Let’s all get behind the up and comer. Risky hire of a guy with no SEC track record imo. No thanks.

Best name mintioned yet.

This would be a good/great hire...just don't see it happening.

Does he make excuses? If not slide CJP to DC and this guy as HC and lets get this show on the road

Great news!!! Kentucky (where he played and coached OC) is now in the SEC.......

 

[VolInDayton]

Troy pays him 800,000. I bet we would have to pay him 1.5 and give him complete control of the offense. I think he would be a great hire, but I feel like we could get a better coach if we are paying that.

What HC moves down to an OC at his own will?

Dan Enos

 

[FEARinSEC]

He is trying to get a better HC job. Not an OC job.

Do something good as OC at Tennessee for 2-3 years, and that better HC job will come calling... Do bad and you'll end up at Alabama making 35k...….

I already have one Alma Mater with a screwed up football program. Please don't mess with the other one.

Wow. One whopping year at UK. Man thats a lot of experience right there. The only reason anyone really knows this guys name is because Troy upset LSU by playong the game if their life. He has a seasoned OC thats been there for years.

Dan Enos left his HC gig to be OC at Arkansas

Back in 1990, Larry Lacewell left his HC position at Arkansas State to become Tennessee's DC.

That man has a future in the big time, I would love to have him as OC.

So what makes him so good?

Read the book “Boys will be boys” about the Cowboys in the 90’s. Interesting stories about Coach Lacewell lol

 

[OnlyGodForgives]

He is trying to get a better HC job. Not an OC job.

Maybe he would like to be the highest paid assistant in the history of world business with a typically juicy UTAD buy-out.

In the past 3 seasons Troy has beat Nebraska, LSU, and Southern Miss. Took Clemson to the wire and lost by 6. Idk I’d hes the next Urban Meyer but he’s definitely earned my respect.
