For real though. He is an above .500 coach that gets them bowl games.


Not sure how much more they can hope for.

I love stock but the program is at
It's ceiling under him. He doesn't inspire the community to show up in any way. A
Fresh voice might be worth the risk of missing bowl games imo

Does anyone have a list of guys we’re “in on” for Wednesday?

Of the currently uncommitted players we are targeting, Jaylen Ellis and Eric Gray seem extremely probable to sign on ESD. Crouch seems too good to be true, but after last night has to be at least a 50/50 shot to secretly sign on ESD and announce on 1/5. Darnell Wright still seems solid, hope we can get him to sign this week. Noah Cain seems a bridge too far, but dare to dream.

Me too but there's no way they will. He gets them to bowl games consistently where they put up pitiful performances and lose. I guess that's good enough for Massaro.

This would be the time to do it though with Brent running out of eligibility after 10 years.

Yeah that's the issue. It would be really easy for MTSU to make a bad hire and go from a 7-5/8-4 team to a 4-8 team. Plus if they land a good young coach he will leave after a few years anyway. Might as well stick with Rick "Jeff Fisher" Stockstill.

If I were a die hard BR fan I’d want a change.

How many of those are there?

I doubt any kind of coaching change is gonna drastically change game attendance and bowl checks are bowl checks.







Unless, Lane Kiffin.

Yep. There's not a huge incentive to rock the boat or strive for something bigger. Stock is reliable and gets them to bowl games. He also isn't going anywhere and will coach in Murfreesboro for another 10 years if they let him.

MTSU had to have taken a massive loss when it went to the Bahamas and Hawaii bowls back to back in 2014-2015. But taking a hit like that is still worth it to keep the program at least nominally relevant.

Yep

And even yesterday I know $ was so tight the band had to bus back after the game so they didn't have to get hotels for another night

Guys,why has no one mentioned Mel Tucker hiring his coordinators at Colorado? Let me start the conversation:

Mel hired an analyst from Georgia as his OC
He also hired an analyst from Georgia to be his DC--guy did have previous DC position at Colorado

Lets here it for not being the first P5 team to hire an analyst as an OC :):):)

I believe all conferences get revenue shares from all bowls and playoffs. I don’t think they’re taking a total loss even if not profiting from bowl but Bruin is right about individual bowl payouts.

Either way, I doubt MTSU would consider getting rid of Stock.

The point I am making is they get bowl revenues from the conference without having to spend monies to go if they aren't actually playing in them. Also coaches have bonuses that cost a decent amount as well that adds cost to the university

Thanks for this. I’m trying to catch up and think I know all of the names. Just wasn’t sure who on our realistic target list is signing on Wednesday.

Gray, Ellis and Wright are in, I think.

Depends on the analyst and the program...

Tucker will be the actual DC so I’m sure it matters little on that side of the ball.

When Sarkisian first came to Bama, it was as a very qualified analyst. Our own John Lilly has some nice experience on his resume.

Tucker will have more mulligans in his first year, and generally more mulligans at Colorado than he would at an SEC school.

I think we'll sign 15 current commits, pick up Gray and hold Wright's spot. If Ellis and Ke'Shun Brown are definite takes, I think we add them. We'll lose some of the remaining 5 current commits and upgrade there after ESD.

Clemons is gone for sure. Do we know any others who may go elsewhere?
