Question really is not if we will ever pay it, we won’t, cause we can’t afford it . But why he has this large a buy out to begin with. Answer is an inexperienced small time AD signed off on a very bad contract. Massaro's contract can not be near as large and for him giving a mediocre coach that large of a contract he should be fired.
Been a proponent of firing Massaro for a good 3-4 years now. If it hasn't happened by now, I don't think it'll ever happen. McPhee, Massaro, and Stockstill all appear to be in it together, a package deal. McPhee appears to have zero interest in firing Massaro, Massaro appears to have zero interest in firing Stockstill (because he can't), and Stockstill obviously isn't going anywhere. He's eating for free for at least the next 5 years regardless of results.....must be nice.
If this universities athletics had any accountability, for example was a private company with share holders, these 3 clowns would have been fired long ago. But of course it is a government entity and thus shielded from any type of expectations or accountability.
As fans I have no idea what we are supposed to do. It is unbelievably unfair to saddle us with expectations of supporting the football program with these pathetic results. How can we possibly support such an incompetent group of second-rate coaches? 12 men on the field anybody?? Never forget.
It's impossible to get excited about this program when after 13 seasons we have never fielded the best team in our conference and there's nothing to indicate that will change any time soon.
Like many others, I just don't even watch or care anymore. I watched the second quarter and start of the 3rd. That was all I needed to see. In that brief time I saw a team that was uninspired, overwhelmed, underprepared, and flat out not as good as Charlotte. They had better players, better play calls, better effort, and better results. They controlled the LOS, they dictated the terms of the game, we didn't have a single player step up and do anything meaningful......just out there going through the motions and getting our ass kicked. Same ole predictable TF offense that crumbles any time the OL is pressured and same ole predictable shafer play calling zero and man free blitzing. Healy read it all like a book and had his players ready to play. We are lucky the score was as close as it was. We were thoroughly dominated in what should have been a must-win game.
Ill say it again. This is a bad team. Garbage, infact. I'm sure they will come out and blast Rice to try and prove us all wrong but all that does, at least for me personally, is make me even more angry because one week we come to play like we did against FIU and the next week we look like a jr. high team in a must-win game on the road. Classic, typical, schizophrenic bad college football team.
Seasons over. Really no point in even playing the rest of the games to be honest. Redshirt who you can and get ready for next year.
Once again, there will be no championship in Murfreesboro this season. And once again, Rick Stockstill has failed to field the best team in his conference going on 13 or 14 seasons now......
