Off the fi eld, Stockstill made an immediate impact as well by dramatically improving the team’s APR to 949 from 892. A benchmark of all championship teams is the ability to win away from home, and Stockstill’s Blue Raiders demonstrated their mental toughness by winning a league-best four Sun Belt Conference road games on the way to a school record six conference wins in all. In fact, Middle Tennessee’s road success was among the best in college football in 2006–only 10 other teams won as many conference road games (Arkansas, Auburn, Boise State, BYU, Ohio, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Texas A&M, USC, Wake Forest). It is said you are only as good as the people you surround yourself with, and Stockstill assembled a championship staff well before he coached his first game. Stockstill’s staff sports two Super Bowl rings, three National Championships, 58 bowl rings, and 125 years of coaching experience. Along with his extensive background in collegiate coaching circles, the driven and determined Stockstill also has had the advantage of working alongside some of the greatest minds in college football history. These experiences were evident in his highly successful fi rst season at the helm. Stockstill, who made his way to Murfreesboro after spending the previous two years at South Carolina, has worked with legendary coaches Lou Holtz, Steve Spur- rier, Danny Ford, Tommy Bowden, Ken Hatfi eld, and Tommy West.
