B4 Tubbs and Reggie Barlow ( Alabama State ) decided 2 jump in2 the spread offense this past season, mayb they should've studied Larry Blankeney's ( Troy ) management style..........
Tubb's hired Blakeney's OC, Tony Franklin, last December.....U might remember he also fired Franky 6 gms in2 this season........
Alabama State's Barlow hired Ben Noonan and OL coach Eric Schnupp last January 2 install the spread......he fired them both last month with 2 gms 2 go.........
It's obvious both teams struggled in the new offense but so did Troy......4 a while....b4 Troy started 2 click and ended up in a bowl gm @ the end of the season......Oh, and Troy won its conference 2 straight yrs in Franklin's system.......
Blakeney wanted 2 score pts, so he made a decision and stuck with it...... He made the commitment 2 get the players who fit the program and it paid off...............Mayb that's y he has won more gms than any other coach @ Troy and more gms than anybody else in the state of Alabama except 4 Bryant, Cleve Abbott and " Shug " Jordan......
So I, jrock, propose 2 Jay Jacobs, keep Chizzy as our defensive coach and hire Larry Blakeney as our head coach.........Or, hire Gary Patterson as our head coach and have Blakeney as our OC and Chizzy as our DC..........It's not 2 late Jay, think about who u just hired 2 lead us, make it right Jay........
WAR DAMN EAGLE.............
