Gerad Parker - Troy Head Coach :)

[Rocketman84]

I'm seriously rooting for Parker to exceed expectations. I hope he does an awesome job at Troy. He got banged on so much because of what went down and all he did was keep pushing to be the best he could. People weren't happy, and at times, rightfully so but I appreciate his effort if not his results.

Hope he continues to grow and wish him success. Seems like a good dude.

Ranking around 60th with the likes of Colorado won't cut it on 3rd Downs and especially at less than 40% after being up around 48% in 2022. It was just flat out dreadfully predictable playcall after playcall on those downs and 11-37 in the 3 losses on 3rd downs YIKES!!

I don't know if I have ever been happier to see one of our coaches take a promotion to another school!!

Woohoo!! Merry Christmas to us!! ☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️

Who do you think goes with him from the staff? Does anybody go with him for that matter?

 

[StPaul_Irish]

I couldn't come here fast enough. Is this real?

Christmas came early...and like all over my face.

God set a flower upon your head Gerad

Just cut that "until we meet again" verse and this is perfect.

 

[Giddyup]

Be careful what u wish for is all I’m gonna say. Andy Ludwig is ass please don’t go back to that well.

The thread title change might be the must beautiful sight these eyes have ever seen

This is a good point. Could definitely see people go with him if it comes with a coordinator title, but I imagine you'd likely try not step on the toes of your previous co-workers/bosses.

Real and spectacular

Taking my cue from IrishLax, my Irish blessing said in a classic Irish voice

"May the door hit you where the good Lord split you."

Stuckey

Nobody that matters. Maybe that analyst who was with him at WVU they hired earlier this year. Apart from that, none of these guys would leave to go with Parker to Troy.

Time to steal another one from Fickell

You quoted my post with this information. I'm not sure what you're intention is?

 

[ACamp1900]

It really doesn’t matter until they hire a proven upgrade and at this stage I cannot be certain they will

 

[rtrn2glory]

I fully expect a very underwhelming replacement. And I will still be ecstatic

 

[Irish4life]

Blast it fellas

 

[Rocketman84]

The optics of Troy hiring a guy who ND fans publicly hate is pretty hilarious.

On paper, Parker actually had decent stats this year, but we've beat it to a pulp: Against any D with a heartbeat, he looked completely out of sorts.

What a terrible hire for Troy. Bless their souls, thank you so much haha

He will be fine against the likes of GA St, Arkansas St, App St, LA-Monroe and South Alabama.

Actually Longo might be nasty with Leonard at the helm

Hopefully we go out and just ATTEMPT to make a hire instead of just sitting on our hands and making an in house promotion.

 

[rtrn2glory]

It's totally sad that my excitement level is close to landing a five star recruit

 

[Jiggafini19Deux]

Its interesting how Slade Nagle happened to just turn down the Houston offer

Damn right it is.

 

[Rocketman84]

MF has more balls than I think we all thought.

Great landing spot for Gerad. I actually can see him being successful running a program. Good coach and recruiter, shitty play caller.

You mean Troy State does
