My wife and I just adopted a 8 year old Treeing Walker Coon hound and most of the day she's home while I'm at work, and he never had a problem. But when we both leave to go get groceries or go out to eat or whatever, he will bust down the dog door that keeps him and our other dog in the kitchen and he will always poop in the hallway and pee by the dining room table. We have tried the no marking spay and have shampooed both spots, but he continues to do it. Is there anything else we can do or should we just get him a kennel?

I think this is a matter of separation anxiety. You can try the medicine they have or even the sweater that helps compress their body. But if that doesn't work, put him in a crate when you leave. My daughter's dog does the same thing.
He is missing you, and that's why he does it. One of my sister's dogs did the same thing. She bought baby gates and kept her in the kitchen when she left the house.
Separation anxiety. Meds or the snuggie sweaters and a kennel until it passes.
I agree he is afraid to be left alone.
Kennel him while you are both away. Also, leave the TV on.
