Just saw where they are hiring DM. I thought they wanted personality. Someone to get the fans excited. Maybe it's just me, but I don't see this as an exciting hire. 

Nothing against Mason, other than he is not a good head coach.  Another safe pick for a University that is mired in mediocrity in more areas than athletics.

They cry to alumni "we need your support", but then give them this to be excited about.

Here's your sign.

Who did you expect them to get? MTSU is either a job that a young guy tries to parlay into a bigger job, or a guy like Mason who just wants another check and knows he doesn't have to be great.

I think most ppl that support MTSU were not being unrealistic in wanting a young coach that can energize the fanbase and community.  Derek Mason isn't that. I suspect MTSU isn't going to give him the lkind of loyalty that they gave Stockstill

I agree that a young up and coming coach would be more exciting, but I think both would last about same time there. Mason isn't going to be great. Maybe 3-5 years. If a younger guy was hired and had quick success then he would get plucked by a bigger school for HC or coordinator. So I think that MTSU would be in the same boat either way in about 5 years.

If I young guy parlays MTSU into a bigger job it will be because he was successful. 

Taking a retread failure as a head coach means you got someone that was NOT successful.

Try to understand the difference.

If he gets hired away, then that means his tenure was a success, I think most mtsu fans would be OK with that

Yea I hear you. To me I think that Mason and (insert whatever coach) could have similar records 8-4, 7-5, maybe a 9 win season and the young guy get plucked and Mason not because they have seen him before. They think that the young guy can do more and its a fun hire. I don't think Mason can do that but who knows maybe he does have success but no bigger programs want him and he does well there.

Find me a coach who had success at Vandy. I understand the difference between him and a young guy. Clearly there was not a young college guy that they thought could do better.

I know you'll say Franklin but 4th in a divison is not success. Were they better than before sure but that is not saying much

    • Im asking everyone to keep roy whited and his family in your prayers. Coach whited won back to back state championships at white county in 98-99. He is very well liked and respected in this area. For those of you that dont know he went missing 3 days ago. No one knows where he is. His truck was found in a rural part of the county. Thanks again. We are all very concerned. 
    • West would be a good team to get behind if they can pull it off again like last year. That championship game last year was awesome. 
    • I say that because he stepped out of a MUCH better situation on his own than he would see at least his first 3 years at DCA and it would take at least that much to bring him back to coaching. There are other fish in the sea, but again money talks. Need to fix the girls hoops too. Now I'll try again. Who has Pierce locked in for his staff? Hearing a McGavock man but not the Iceman.
    • I’ve heard mostly good things from the gridiron. Lots of optimism. It sounds like the portal has mostly helped, though there are a few expected defections. Comeback year!
    • Rudesell 1 year at Crockett. Coach Tate 2 weeks a Bradford. South Gibson supposedly going with jcs middle school coach. Which isn’t who I thought would get it, I know the top 2 was between him and Obion girls head coach.
