Middle Tennessee State

Head Coach: Rick Stockstill

Former Coach: Andy McCollum

Bio: It took his first head coaching opportunity to pry Stockstill, 45, away from the Atlantic Coast, where he’s spent the last quarter-century as a player and a coach. The former Florida State quarterback played for Bobby Bowden and learned on the sidelines from a diverse cross-section of coaches, including Steve Spurrier, Lou Holtz, Danny Ford, Tommy Bowden and Ken Hatfield. Stockstill spent the last two seasons working for Holtz and Spurrier at South Carolina, but built the majority of his experience at Clemson from 1989-2002, coaching receivers for nine years and quarterbacks for five. In 2003, he was the offensive coordinator for East Carolina.

The Skinny: For a few years, the Blue Raiders appeared capable of breaking North Texas’ hold on to Sun Belt supremacy, but it never happened. Enter Stockstill, an offensive-minded coach, who’s watched film with his share of college luminaries and is recognized as a top-notch recruiter. He’ll need to be to get a better caliber of athlete to Murfreesboro. Should Raider fans be concerned that Stockstill has been a coordinator for just one of his 24 years as an assistant?

Putting Out the Welcome Mat: WR Bobby Williams. Stockstill has had tremendous success tutoring wide receivers over the years, and Williams is his best looking pupil at Middle Tennessee. He’s 6-3, and as a true freshman, earned 10 starts and pulled down 22 receptions.

He played under Bowden at Florida State.  Does anyone know if he was on the FSU team that played us in the snow at Fouts?

I'm afraid that it doesn't fit. The FSU was 30 years ago . Stockstill would only have been 15 at the time.

      Sell Out Next Week?

      I think everyone knows this. It doesn’t make the practice any less dumb. With everything being electronic nowadays they could easily announce the actual attendance. Last night was a jarring example. There weren't more than 22-23K. And what annoys me the most is because of the announced attendance, last night is officially the 5th best attended game in stadium history, which is total BS.

      Did we dump the 3-3-5 for good?

      I mean I’ve spent lots of time talking about this defense (which I do not love) but there aren’t too many gaps. The scheme accounts for gaps, but relies on excellent linebacker play to go along with excellent safety play. For me, it always comes down to the defensive line. In 2013, we ran a 4-3 base and Flusche et al generated pressure with that front four and it made the whole group very good. The next year with the same base we were leaky. The difference was the line. Reffett had a solid defense with Nate Brooks and Kemon Hall at corner and would bring LB blitzes (to make up for the lack of great line play) and it worked. The next year they struggled as the corners couldn’t man up and the pressure was late. Littell’s defenses post Reffet were awful until he lucked into the Murphy twins and upset top 25 UTSA. Mazin Richards helped him get enough to get to the title game the next year. Last year? Awful line play. This year? Better line play. It’s always about line play no matter how many you put out there. Get pressure on the QB or else you lose.

      What's at stake as Pac-12, Mountain West and American Athletic Conference plan their futures

      Memphis and Tulane are weighing their options of joining the Pac-12 or remaining in the American. Depending on who AAC commissioner Tim Pernetti can acquire, staying in their current conference might be the best option for the Tigers and/or the Green Wave. Pernetti is known to desire UNLV and Air Forcefrom what's left of the Mountain West. If the Falcons and Rebels jump to the AAC instead of the Pac-12 then all the sudden the AAC might look more desirable for Memphis and Tulane to stay put. Both Memphis and Tulane are desired by the Pac-12 for their consistency and recent success in football. Both are essentially top 50 TV markets, but Memphis brings a record of success in basketball and Tulane is attractive because it's in New Orleans. (Don't think that presidents and ADs haven't thought about fun weekends in N'awlins while watching their teams play. read more: https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/whats-at-stake-as-pac-12-mountain-west-and-american-athletic-conference-plan-their-futures/amp/

      Great Week 4 Uniform Video

      Never was a fan of the script, but I’ve got to admit, we looked GREAT. I like the all green more than I realized as well.
