guess they've updated... I checked about 3 hours ago and wasn't on there.
Except for Lil Stock, Dearmon or Shafer, I can’t envision any other former MT player or assistant willing to relocate their families to take this job under the current leadership without another 8-yr. guaranteed contract. But then again…..😂😂
It depends on WHO is making the ultimate decision.
That is why 7wood is at the top of my 'fire list'. Until he goes it will be more of the same no matter if Stock gets fired or not. If its true he is getting a contract extension, MTSU is screwed.
Do you all think Massaro would be better if the didn't have McPhee handcuffing him?
I think that's why Massaro was in the mix at GaState a few years ago. McPhee has Massaro leading an athletic program with one hand tied behind his back.
I will admit that Chris has been working at a disadvantage given the situation previously mentioned, but he signed off on the two former Memphis hires. Knowing what I knew about that situation (which I personally discussed with him) I still maintain that is on him. Maybe Stock convinced him but he should have looked at their body of work for their previous 10-11 years before signing off on that recommendation. Recruiting and performance at those individual player positions have suffered tremendously as evidenced by what we’ve endured the last 5 years.
I'm not saying Massaro - or Stockstill - is without fault at this point.
Massaro / Stockstill are bringing Missouri to Floyd in 2022, Colorado State in 2023, and Duke in 2025.
and only once in all the time Massaro managed to bring P5s has Stockstill managed to beat one and that was in 2008. These aren't world beating top ten or twenty P5s either. And Stockstill usually manages to really stink it up against them. That and in particular, the 0-4 record against vandy are a few of the reasons fans have given up on stockstill and the football program. We'll be lucky to have ten thousand in Floyd next season when Mizzou rolls in to the boro.
I would give Massaro maybe a year without 7wood to see how he does. It could reignite him and return to his first 3-4 years here. He was once a really good AD. Of the '3 MT Stooges' he is the one I have the most hope for. I'm not including McDevitt as a stooge, by the time any of this happens he will either be gone or on 'earn a new deal' time.
IMO, one of the reasons attendance is in the tank is the performance of Stockstill-led teams to in front of larger audiences & games that matter most to MT fans. Going off memory :
Let’s not forget BYU steamrolled us in Murfreesboro and the Mormons showed up in big numbers in Sections I, J, K, (upper and lower.)
I skimmed through the minutes from the Dec 2022 meeting and did not see a mention of a a new contract for McPhee (they did vote to give him a one time bonus).
LINK: MTSU names interim President
FR explained how MT ended up with McPhee.
lamar alexander was the president of ut-eastern and spent money like a drunken sailor. His downfall was building an unwarranted presidential vacation home.
I think it's safe to say wasteful spending is not a problem that is exclusive to presidents with - or without - terminal degrees. It's an issue plaguing most of academia, although I'm not entire sure who is to blame : the presidents / chancellors for increasing administrative position, accreditation agencies for requiring administrative positions, or boards / states for putting emphasis on things that require additional administrative positions.
Didn't he spend a fortune to have TDOT commission a road up to the home as well?
It's appropriate that the Raiders are playing in this bowl game.
Either Stock had the best agent ever or we have the dumbest AD ever. Sheesh. He ain't leaving unless he dies or gets super bored.
Some people don’t do their research. Stocks contract capped the option to have extensions at five years. He can no longer receive a contract extension automatically.
