Golden Eagles open season Saturday at Middle Tennessee

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – On the very day, almost to the very minute, when Tennessee Tech introduced Bobby Wilder as the new head coach of the Golden Eagle football team, Middle Tennessee was introducing Derek Mason as the new head coach of the Blue Raiders. It was purely coincidence, but it almost...

If they are smart they should get the developer to include restaurant and retail space on the bottom floor. That would help create more of an atmosphere around campus. We have one of the worst retail/restaurant scene around are campus that I've ever seen round a university our size. The fault lies with MT and the city of Murfreesboro.

I genuinely think if the bars around the campus wouldn’t allow smoking they would be much more busy. I’m not trying to smell like an ashtray when grabbing a drink before a game.

FOOTBALL Mason contract details released before season opener

I can't freaking believe it. Fantastic.

No extensions and all acceptable bonuses. Not to mention a better buyout. Say we give him 3yrs, which is totally reasonable, and release him. We would only owe $2m. I don't see that happening, but man. Fantastic contract.

This plus the bump in assistant pool shows me a much more serious commitment. Glad CM and McP (I think it was more McP) listened to the fan outcry.

And it'd be great if he did.

I don't know how his tenure will turn out from W/L perspective. But he's doing the right things. On paper & in action (to this point), he's doing EXACTLY what MT's FB HC needs to do.

FOOTBALL Mason contract details released before season opener

SpaceRaider
the key excerpt, IMO


...The incentives do not include extension years, which was the case with for former coach Rick Stockstill, whose contract ran through 2029 after he was extended a year for going .500 or better, meeting academic requirements and staying NCAA compliant. MTSU paid a buyout of $5 million after he was fired.

"Those automatic extensions aren't built in to any contracts we've done recently," Massaro said. "What we did was realign bonuses and incentives to be a little more aggressive. We’ve stacked it a lot more to winning a conference championship, to making the CFP playoffs. Those are our goals. That’s the ultimate, if we can get into the CFP, that’s some rare thing. If we’re going to have those goals, lets reward those in contracts and make sure we’re clear.”

The bar scene really is disappointing. There is the Boro, Jim’s, and campus pub all right there but man that strip should be full of restaurants and bars. Such a missed opportunity. You want more alumni fans you have to make a students time on campus more fun.
