FOOTBALL Robert Jones signs with Miami Dolphins
- Thread starter Matt Dossett
- Start date
Glad to see him getting signed. I really thought he had a shot of getting drafted the late rounds, though. I was actually hoping the Titans might take a flyer on him.
Also, glad to read that he is leaving MTSU with a degree. Always like to see student athletes actually graduate.

4 drafted in the Stockstill era. Byard being the highest in the 3rd round. None in the last three drafts.
WOW! I never realized it was that bad. Just another stat to prove there is a major problem.
Anybody got the numbers for Boots in his 20 years or mccollum in his tenure?
They really built that up like he was going to be drafted on Social Media. Oops!
This is when we need MT01. I’ll be your Huckleberry and do the research in a few.
Boots - ‘79 - ‘98 (10)
Andy Mac - ‘99 - ‘05 (2)
Stock - ‘06 - Forever (6)
Here’s a real shocker......I had no idea that Dwight Stone was an undrafted free agent.

Thanks for the information
I had thought that not only was he ahead in Conference Championships, Boots had more players in the draft than either of our '1A/FBS' coaches.
Boots signed a lot of props (I think Stone was a JUCO transfer) and was a solid evaluator of talent.
Andy signed a lot of props too but many never saw the field - and I don't think he was great at evaluating talent.
I don't think Rick signs props (maybe he does) and doesn't have the best eye for talent. That said, he has had good success with transfers other than JUCO.
I think we may see a better team with the new transfer rules in place.

That would be both of our 1A coaches, and over a similar period of time. Just another indication that the move up to D-1 in FB has been an abject failure.
Dwight Stone was a JC guy from Marion Military Institute in Alabama. They don’t play football anymore. He played HS ball at Florala HS. I drive right by the school on my way to 30A. How Auburn and Bammer missed on him is beyond me unless they just couldn’t get him admitted. Boots pulled off a big one with him.
