Former Vanderbilt coach to replace Rick Stockstill, bringing extensive experience from college and NFL coaching roles.

Derek Mason, former head coach at Vanderbilt, is expected to be announced as the new head coach for Middle Tennessee.
Mason has a history of coaching in college and the NFL, including stints as defensive coordinator at Stanford, Auburn, and Oklahoma State.
He will replace Rick Stockstill, who left Middle Tennessee after 18 seasons and a 113-111 record.
Mason's tenure at Vanderbilt was marked by a 27-55 record, including two bowl games.
Middle Tennessee is considered a promising job in the reconfigured Conference USA, despite finishing just 3-5 in conference play this year.
