"Multiple sources told FootballScoop that athletics director Bobby Williams recommended to Sam Houston's Board of Regents that the Bearkats hire former Northwest Missouri State head coach and current athletics director Mel Tjeerdsma, but he was ultimately overruled by school president Dana Gibson, who felt Tjeerdsma's age (he is 67 years old) was too much of a concern to pull the trigger. "This is how the AD thinks about it," a source told FootballScoop, "These upper-level FCS jobs are stepping stones, three-to-five years tops. Mel has three-to-five years. He is an outstanding coach." The source told FootballScoop Williams was also enamored with Tjeerdsma's 11-2 head-to-head record against previous Bearkats head coach Willie Fritz. Tjeerdsma holds a 242-82-4 career mark as a head coach, and went 183-43 as Northwest Missouri State's head coach from 1994-2010."

I know coach Tjeerdsma (Church ma) and he is an excellent guy. Super great with the kids, charisma overflowing. It is unfortunate that his age may have played a role.
