Mike4AU 1,739 Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 If this news is correct, I think Chip will be the first coach under the Gus Tree to become a HC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maverick.AU 13,279 Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Shows you how much he is thought of after his stint with Gus. Not many guys with the offense we had last year would have oc chances, much less land a HC job, replacing a guy that led Troy to a new realm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably knows every HS coach in Alabama and neighboring regions.....should be great recruiting for Troy where they are mostly depending on 2* and 3* kids that won't be considered by AU or Bama.

True, but as an HC you are looking at long term vision, despite having a terrible offense this year, he is still viewed as a good enough coach to get an HC job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not a big Chip fan but this is an established program in an area he knows and won't require him to rebuild a program that's been in the toilet for few years. His task is not to screw it up.

Even though you won’t like it. My post was a shot at Gus. The fact that he got inquired about by both Pruitt and miles, speaks volumes about his reputation in coaching circles. The fact that Troy is choosing him as a successor to Neal brown, speaks volumes as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact he got inquired about at UT and Kansas is not too impressive, especially when Kansas seemed to be his best option so maybe we wait and see how he does. He won't be coaching against SEC defensive geniuses and hope he will keep Troy successful. I still think most of our offensive problems were because of Chip and his inability to coach JS. So what's Les gonna do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what's Les gonna do? The point was, the coaches contacting him, again we’re gonna disagree. I think it’s Gus, you think it’s chip, and that’s fine. I saw the same plays against Purdue as we saw during the season with chip. It’s been said before that chip could call plays, but it was filtered by gus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess Troy officials didn't read this board where the Gus Brigade blamed Chip for all the problems AU had on offense in 2018. Good for them and good for Chip.

penguin149 391 Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Let's see how this plays out in 2019. Hiring a guy that got (essentially) fired from an OC job for your new HC....a brave move. Just think there were others out there that would have been a better choice. If you've ever been to Troy, you know it's not an extremely desirable location but they've fielded a very good team lately. I hope Chip keeps 'em going.

alexava 6,973 Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 I have absolutely no idea how he will do as a hc. I wish him well and for the first time ever will be watching Troy. Out of curiosity if nothing else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gus brought him in as an analyst in 2013 and brought him in as OC in 2017. He’s been with Gus twice. He’s as much a part of tbe Gus coaching tree as he is under Rush Propst, John Mothershed, Todd Monken, and others. Also, something I forgot about: he was Troy’s QB coach in 2010.
