RJ’s take: After a successful stint as offensive coordinator, Gerad Parker is tasked with “don’t fix what ain’t broken.”
Parker’s former teammates at Kentucky, Neal Brown and Jon Sumrall, built sustainable winners at Troy. Over the last two years, Sumrall went 23-4 as head coach and won back-to-back Sun Belt titles.
Parker isn’t exactly replacing Nick Saban, but he is stepping into a program that expects to compete right away and challenge for the automatic bid in the extended CFP.
Troy Win Total Odds: Over 6.5 (-110) Under 6.5 (-110)
