This is one of the most difficult days in my tenure, but one I feel is necessary in our aspiration to compete and win championships.
I appreciate everything Rick, his wife Sara, and their family have done the last 18 years for MTSU Athletics, our football program, and, more importantly, our student-athletes. Because of his leadership, our student-athletes have performed at a high level in the classroom, have dedicated time and energy to supporting our community and have given us countless hours of dedication to being successful on the football field.
I want to thank Coach Stockstill for his professionalism, character and dedication, and wish him well in his future endeavors.
