MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — Assistant coach Mike Polly is always excited for spring football to start, but this year feels a little different.
Polly has worn quite a few hats for Middle Tennessee since he was hired by head coach Rick Stockstill in 2013. The former Blue Raiders grad assistant (2007-09) started as the team's running backs coach in 2013, adding special teams coordinator duties the following year before moving from RBs to the offensive line in 2016. He's helped O-line coach Rick Mallory with the tackles and tight ends ever since while still handling special teams and serving as the run game coordinator.
