with the coaching connections we now have with Jacksonville do you think we will have a similar relationship with them that Auburn used to have with Troy?

Nope. I suspect any good vibes between the 2 schools might be gone, outside of the coaching staffs relations.

When you are talking about players transferring the coaching relationship is all that matters

For that to happen, there would need to be a pretty big talent gap between the 2 programs. At the end of this past season, I doubt if we could of beaten Jacksonville :(

What does your last sentence have to do with talent?

If you look at the offers the current Jacksonville commitments have, compared to the offers ours have, there is little difference, if any at all.........if fact, a local sports guy told me Jacksonville actually has an edge there. I understand your point though, crappy coaching/injuries made our talent level look worse than it really was.
