This. They're just a bunch of old folks out of touch with reality but I doubt you can convince them of that. Ignorance is bliss, they say.
I started school at MT in 2003 where I became a rabid fan of the football program circa 2004.
Besides some new turf and jumbotron, what exactly has changed in 16 years? NOTHING.
I cannot even put into words how much this administration has failed our football program. We should honestly be grateful that Stockstill has been able to keep us as competitive as we are because we are outclassed by 3/4th's of our conference members when it comes to weight rooms, meeting rooms, coaches offices, etc. And you better F'ing believe recruits notice this. Schools like WKU consistently wreck us on the recruiting trail, even in their down years, because of this. It's harder to recruit quality coaches when they see a lack of commitment by the administration. It's noticed by everybody.
Massaro is asleep at the wheel at this point. We all know he's been plotting his next move for quite some time, while we remain stuck in the Middle with no progress whatsoever. Could we at least try something different? What's it gonna hurt at this point? I've heard nothing but good things about Blackburn, and he wants the job. Let him have it. What's the worse that could happen? Nobody show up at the games? Nobody will donate? That's already happening.
The entire football program is on life support, and nobody appears interested in trying any heroic life saving measures.
