RE: Troy OC Takes OL Job at Baylor
Pugh was also the OL coach here. Hopefully we can get someone who likes to run the ball. Will be interesting to see who fills these two positions.

This seems like a step down in my opinion but to each their own. I guess he will make more money at Baylor.

May not be a bad thing... we were good at pass protection, but absolutely horrible at run blocking.

We just lost our OC to Texas. He'll be their QB coach.

Yep, sucks for him. Some old pictures of his college days surfaced online. Will hurt his career trajectory for a while.

In an article on al.com it indicates he could go back to Troy. Do you see that happening?

Hope not and it’s not about a dumb choice he made in college.

If everyone got let go from their jobs for something stupid we did as immature youngsters or very young adults, no one would have a job!

No. I don't forsee Lindsey hiring him back for the same position, and I certainly don't forsee AD Brent Jones going for it now. I'm willing to bet that Pugh has called Troy back asking if there is a chance he could slide back in his role, and Lindsey doesn't want to be like "HECK NO", because they're good friends.
I think Lindsey words are more of a "Well I'm not gonna hire him back, but I don't want to throw him under the bus even further... so I'll leave it open-ended while I search for another O-Line coach".
I'm also starting to wonder if there was some other issue at the center of all of this, and not so much the blackface picture. It almost sounds like he had some professional references say he had some bad personal qualities?

There is immature and stupid and there are thing like blackface that cross a different line. What age should we allow this type of behavior to occur to? 12? 18? 21? 25? 30? Or should we let employers decide for themselves?
