There are rumors floating around that CM is a finalist for the EKU AD opening.
That said it’s irrelevant who our AD is as long as McPhee is still here.

Don’t play with my heart like that. Lee would be the obvious choice to replace him in my opinion.There are rumors floating around that CM is a finalist for the EKU AD opening.

What message does it send if he DOESN’T get it?losing our AD to EKU?
happy to see him go but what a terrible message it sends. losing AD to an FCS program
Maybe he’ll want to retire in one of his overseas destinations???No changes for the better until McPhee is gone.
well EKU AD did just get hired by JMU,Could be a win win situation for all parties involved. Everyone here would prefer Lee, & at the same time CM could get away from probably feeling hamstrung by McPhee.
Missouri State athletics is having an urgent meeting at 9:30 this morning. Sounds like they might be the lucky ones not us.
his son works at EKU as well. He must like the area, he spent 20 years in the area at UK and UL.This hire poses a lot of questions. Why would an established AD at Missouri St with a football program that's elevating from fcs to fbs jump at his 1st opportunity to move back to fcs in football & an overall lower level ASUN conference at EKU?
Is EKU also preparing for a conference jump, & wants Moates to help their status change?
It is being touted as him being from KY and wanting to spend his final working years with his son who is at EKU. But as said from others here and posts I've seen on X, there is a different light. Seems it was more of a "EKU has an offer. Take it on your own terms, or else."This hire poses a lot of questions.

If he’s applying for roles like that I think it’s fair to say he’s being pushed out.According to the EKU board, Massaro said he and his boss don't get along and there was a bunch of tension between.
The byzantine workings of the MT athletic department for the past decade have kept me from really going all in on one guy to blame. Was it McPhee? The buck ultimately stops with him. Was it Massaro? Was it Stockstill? Was it all 3? I don't know.
Although, at this point, new blood for the sake of new blood isn't a bad thing.

As long as one person is allowed to run this Univ. and Athletic Dept., nothing changes and no decent candidate will take the job.
And I ain’t talking about McPhee.
McPhee is infinitely the bigger problem in my opinion. I could write a thesis on how bad he has been for our university.
Football scheduling was not even remotely close to good imo. If you mean sacrificing a chance to win for 2-3 P5 (at the time) games per season, with the occasional 2 for 1 deal, then I suppose you’d say it was good scheduling. It was lazy scheduling for us to make up for a lack of fundraising efforts. I still think the right thing to do is 1 P4 money game, 2 regional G5 games, and 1 TN FCS game. Which they are moving to in the future.You really think Massaro is that bad ?
I don’t think he is great. Or even good. I despise his baseball hires and Stockstill contract but football scheduling was good, Insell hire was good, he wanted Odom over McDevitt which was the right call. Generally seems to have a decent grasp of the landscape based on interviews. Biggest mistake while here was definitely the contract structure for stock after the 10 win season
I know you’ve met with him, and probably feel lied to and deceived. But McPhee is infinitely the bigger problem in my opinion. I could write a thesis on how bad he has been for our university.
I think you missed what FR was saying. The one person running this University......You really think Massaro is that bad ?

SS is running the show.Isn't really McP......
Watching him on stage yesterday was pretty rough. No prepared statement and just rambled for about a minute. That was my first time actually seeing/talking with him in person. I see where everyone’s disappointment with him stems from.SS is running the show.
I wasn’t talking about Massaro either.You really think Massaro is that bad ?
