MURFREESBORO, Tenn. - Middle Tennessee head football coach Derek Mason announced today the hiring of Brian Stewart as the program's assistant head coach and defensive coordinator. Stewart, a former teammate of Mason in college, will also coach the safeties.
Stewart has over 30 years of coaching experience at both the collegiate and professional ranks. He has coached seven pro bowlers and a hall of famer at the NFL level, along with 12 college players that were taken in the NFL Draft.
"When you look at his experience and our familiarity with one another in terms of structure and defense, there isn't a better fit for what we want to do on that side of the ball," said Mason.
