Troy’s first-year Head Coach Chip Lindsey will be joined by Ryan Pugh and Brandon Hall, both serving in their first year as sole coordinators. That said, neither Pugh nor Hall are lacking in experience.
The Neal Brown holdover, Coach Brandon Hall, will take the reigns as the defensive coordinator. Most recently, Hall served as the outside linebackers/special teams coach for Brown and the Trojans in 2018.
His other stints include four years as co-defensive coordinator/safeties coach for Jacksonville State, a defense that ranked top 20 nationally in each season and finished a perfect 31-0 in Ohio Valley Conference Play during those four years.
