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.
