Great coaches are not at Troy...and I don't mean that in a bad way.

Auburn will always win with DEFENSE, at least as long as Tommy Tubs
is coach.
I think he's a great coach who wound up at Troy because he got a reputation as a "rat" when the Kentucky probation scandal occurred. Larry Blakeny, Troy's head coach, is also really talented...but he got a bad rap when the Auburn "Eric Ramsey" scandal broke in '92.

Troy is a good "second chance" university. Time will tell if Franklin has the chops.
