ORLANDO – In putting a bow on the Troy football season, I decided to go back in time to the day Jon Sumrall was formally introduced as the 23rd head
It was Dec. 6, 2021, and there was much optimism in the room in welcoming back to town someone who had been a well thought of assistant under Neal Brown from 2015-2017 before returning to his alma mater of Kentucky for three years as linebackers coach and co-defensive coordinator.
Down 12-0 to UTSA and playing perhaps the worst first half of football of the season, Troy crept to within 12-7 by halftime and would work its magic in the second half to record the victory and finish the season 12-2 with an 11-game win streak. Remember, the bulk of this team is comprised of the same players who won five games a year ago and looked lost in the wilderness at times. It’s also many of the same players who could have jumped off the ship when a new staff came in, but instead stayed aboard and set sail on an adventure of a lifetime.
“I apologized to the guys … that was stupid," Sumrall said after the game."I let the heat of the moment get to me. That won’t happen again … I don’t plan on it happening again, at least.”Now back to that first press conference when Sumrall talked about his philosophies.
