Who do we want to replace him? Do we keep our signed recruits? Do we trust Massaro to make this imoortant hire to keep momentum going?

I will always be grateful for what Kermit did for the program. Took the program to unprecedented heights.
But, and maybe this makes me a bad fan, I feel like he is quitting on us. I really believed he wanted to see this thing through. This was HIS program. He had become the face of the university. We get snubbed and then he bolts for the $. Almost like if you can't beat 'em, join 'em. Human nature I guess, greener pastures...
Hard to fault him if he is truly going to make $2.8 million/per as I have read. If true, would you turn down 2 extra million per year for the next 4 years?I will always be grateful for what Kermit did for the program. Took the program to unprecedented heights.

At least Davis was able to really work the media circuit well. The Nashville TV media has been paying attention to us, more so than Vandy it seems, over the last few years. But yes the Little Middle mindset of the admin will be an obstacle... as it always is.One problem I see in getting someone that is going to advance the program is when they ask, "what kind of media coverage do you have?". The admin comes back with , " oh ! we have the titan of the airways 1450 wgns that almost reaches the county line. Nothing in Nashville but we are Rutherford counties only university, We are "Little Middle"!
This station should be used primarily for sports talk or all talk MTSU. Period.I don’t understand the mentality or the marketing behind making a 1000 watt daytime and 250 watt nighttime station the flagship. It was fine when we were MTSC, but not with FBS football and a top tier C-USA program (enjoy while it lasts). Have nothing against WGNS and am an avid listener to some programs—always remember WGNS I my childhood being top 40, oldies, and news talk. But, if our own university is pulling the plug on prime coverage, why should the masses care (rhetorical)? WMOT is a Class A FM station with reach into four other states on a good day. I’m in my car, and it’s far easier to lock 89.5 on the dial. Having that channel presence is immense, but somebody in a decision making capacity either doesn’t care for sports or sees some kind of enterprise that is a net gain of something. Not good for building fan engagement, that’s for sure!
Holy crap you're right -- that is a huge bump. Hope he performs.Kermit’s getting 2.5 million per year, 4 years.
$900,000 for staff.
For perspective, that’s more than Roy Williams at UNC.
