MT names new coach

[lionschs]

Rick Stockstill has been named the new head football coach at MTSU. Stockstill comes from South Carolina, where he served as the Recruiting Coordinator this past year. He has a pretty good track record having served under the likes of Lou Holtz, Bobby Bowden, Terry Bowden, and Steve Spurrier. He is slated as one of the top 25 recruiters in the nation and has had 16 NFL draft picks in the last 6 years. I guess we'll have to wait and see how he turns out. Hopefully he'll bring in some quality talent and win a couple conference championships.

Maybe this guy will be good, but I thought MTSU would try to bring in someone with a solid coaching background!!!

I heard rumors that they had contacted the def. coordinator from Notre Dame as well as the Miami Dolphins def. coor. who followed Nick Saben from LSU to Miami. MTSU's new AD came from South Carolina and is real good friends with Stockstill, so put 2 and 2 together. I see it as doing him a favor, this is his first head coaching position.
