Middle Tennessee State announced the hiring of Derek Mason as the Blue Raiders’ football head coach on Wednesday.
“We are ecstatic to welcome coach Derek Mason to Middle Tennessee and the Blue Raider football program,” Middle Tennessee State director of athletics Chris Massaro said. “With his experience as a head coach, his reputation for coaching fast, aggressive defenses, his strong reputation as a recruiter, and deep connections in college football to formulate an outstanding staff, coach Mason’s vision for MTSU football fits exactly what we were looking for during our interview process. Coach Mason is no stranger to the mid-state community and we expect his connections to allow him and his staff to hit the ground running as our 15th head football coach.”
Mason served as Vanderbilt’s head coach from 2014-20.
