What we need to do is get CM fired. I am sure he doesn't have a $6M buyout.
I don’t think we beat Rice or WKU but if they win out and draw the Bahamas or Hawaii again, we need to storm Cope with torches and pitchforks.
Not calling to solicit help. I just enjoy hearing his take on the situation out there. He is hilarious.
What? And miss a photo opp of CM in his flower shirt.
Yes, that is the one thing we can always count on... Now, you're telling me we might miss out on that? I don't know about that...
The athletic department actually posted on FB the POTW...I kid you not.
I posted a few statement disagreeing with idea...I hope others will join in.

Composed by the same PR machine that puts this out:
“Updated on July, 2019
Chris Massaro enters his 15th year at Middle Tennessee looking to build upon the unparalleled success the athletic department has realized since he was named Director of Athletics on April 8, 2005.
During Massaro’s tenure, Middle Tennessee has realized its greatest athletic and academic successes as evidenced by the record-setting performances by all 17 sports.
Proving to be a true visionary, Massaro has helped revolutionize the Blue Raiders’ athletic department while helping pave the way for even greater success in future years. With Massaro’s leadership, that vision took a historical step on Nov. 29, 2012 when the University accepted an invitation to join Conference USA. The Blue Raiders became official members on July 1, 2013.”
can anyone tell me how to share a screen shot. there is a message on Facebook from someone not associated with MT, he is just a guy here in ga. with a shared post from brent brocks Facebook group saying they are trying to get Stock the job.

He and Stock were at FSU together. I’m not surprised. He probably wants to go back there with Stock.
When Coach Bowden announced he was stepping down after’09, Stock was as hot as he’s ever been and they chose Jimbo Fisher over their former FSU All-American QB. Stock never worked as an Asst. at FSU either. So now after he’s barely above .500 as a HC and 61 years old they are gonna hire him?
copy the url address and click on the picture icon above the post and insert and then post
I sure as hell wouldn’t hire him. But if FSU wants him, they can have him.
Gee... where's the part about him walking on water???
that’s the most idiotic thing I have read in a long time. Instead of a buyout, just take him. And our AD too.
USC fans want Urban Meyer, FSU fans want Stock. I wonder which tradition power will be in playoff contention and which will be in the Birmingham Bowl in 3 years?
assuming that is it.
I’ll add one more thing. That shows how freaking delusional the perspective of our program is within our on department. And it’s a football staffer publicly campaigning for his HC to get another job.
This guy should be fired. I’m sure Massaro will give him a contact extension though.
We have great writers of fiction on staff. Next they should write how he has personally built our facilities to NFL levels.
If Massaro had any sense he would be advocating for FSU to hire Stock and pay his buyout. Instead he may give him a raise to keep him here another 20 years.
Ha! Very true. I am jealous of FSU’s ability to raise 20 million privately to buy out Taggert. I bet we could raise $1200 and a couple of discount coupons from Toots.
Bingo. He’s the first face that recruits see when they visit and the guy supposedly doing the community work. Yet, he’s publicly campaigning on Facebook for the MTSU Head Coach to get another job. It speaks volumes about their commitment for the past several years.
“Brock, who was director of player development from 2013 to 2016, was elevated to director of football operations in 2017. In his new role, Brock oversees the daily internal operational functions of the football program while working closely with Coach Rick Stockstill. He is instrumental in team travel, recruiting weekends, the team banquet and handling life skills events, and all community service projects.”

No wonder we have already lost 3 games in conference.......our assistants are more worried about open gigs at places like FSU than focusing on our own problems here at home. This dude would be fired from anywhere else and this facebook post would be a talking point all over ESPN if we weren't little middle that nobody cared about. Maybe somebody should email this to ESPN and embarrass this staff/athletic department. Can you imagine if this was a Power 5 program? Holy moly...
And this guy helps handle our recruiting weekends and handled player development from 2013-2016 ? I also remember at one point he was TE coach I believe. Glad to see where our coaches priorities are.
Of course he is a lifelong friend of Stock's and won't receive any punishment. Ongoing nepotism at its finest.

I can’t believe Brent would post something like that on social media while employed at MT. This seems like a great opportunity to get Stock to resign. If I was the AD I would fire Brent for those comments, and I’m sure it would totally piss off Stock. Kinda like the same situation when Mike Mularky resigned with the Titans because they demanded he fire his OC.
I’m glad I’m not the only one seeing this. Yes x 1000. Brock should be fired immediately. This is beyond reprehensible, unprofessional, and unethical. WTF?? It’s one thing to lobby behind closed doors but to do so publicly is an embarrassment to this university and a slap in the face to those of us who still care about it - which is a dwindling few thanks specifically to this staff. Like Wiley said we see where the priorities are and are not.
Your right, this is beyond my imagination. What do they care, there is nothing from the MT administration that puts their jobs in jeopardy.
I'm of the opinion that no harm no foul, given the ZERO chance that that would gain traction, it is absurd to begin, totally laughable and not going to be seriously considered.
Whether it happens or not or, the fact that he has since taken it down is no excuse for this. Quite frankly this stupidity is a first for me and I’ve been involved with college athletics for over 40 years.
He is employed by Middle Tennessee State University at the pleasure of his Head Coach, Richard Stockstill.
If I was actively promoting my boss to another institution in my industry, I would be gone before I could clean out my desk.
THIS is what we have out there right now. And, as an alum who gave fairly generously before all this crap started I’m done with it until they show the same level of commitment I did for nine years after graduating from the place.
