2015 Sun Belt Conference Preview

Well here we go. A couple weeks later this year because I wanted to finish my draft coverage before I started my conference previews but here we are, inside of 100 days ‘til the season starts on September 3rd. We get our start this year with the Sun Belt Conference.

Membership Changes


There were no additions or subtractions as the last round of realignment settles in but Appalachian State and Georgia Southern are now post season and conference title eligible.  That sets up a fun year 2 in which the newcomers try to match their successes of year 1.

Coaching Changes


There was only one coaching change in the Sun Belt this season and it was the departure of Larry Blakeney. Troy had some struggles of late but let’s look at Blakeney’s success moving Troy through the ranks to a respectable mid-major who put a very solid amount of talent into the NFL and was the mid-major standard in the late 90’s and earl 00’s. Blakeney is replaced by Neal Brown a former subordinate who saw success as Texas Tech and last year Kentucky’s offensive coordinator. Brown has work to do but a very good role model to success.
