H istoric Jayne Stadium is the home to the Eagle football and soccer programs and in 2009 MSU will be playing its home games on newly installed artificial turf. General Sports Venue of Rochester, Mich., installed new Astroturf GameDay Grass during the summer, replacing the aging surface. The facility also features refurbished locker rooms for soccer and houses the football coaching staff offices.

The facility, constructed in 1964, also features a state-of-the-art electronic scoreboard in the

South end zone. The field is named after donors Terry and Susan Jacobs who supplied the funds for the artificial surface and scoreboard.

The press box structure can seat up to 20 media members including radio booths for the home and visiting teams. The second level houses the Presidents Suite.

In the Northwest corner of the facility is the Phil Simms Weight Training Room, a state-of-the-art strength and conditioning center funded by former Eagle and New York Giant star quar-terback Phil Simms.

Eagle Coachesand Staff


Morehead State Universitys all-time win-ningest football coach, Matt Ballard is now in his 16th season in charge of the Eagle football program.

A finalist for the Liberty Mutual Coach of the Year Award for the past two seasons, he is a four-time Pioneer Football League South Division Coach of the Year, having led the Eagles to four consecutive division crowns from 2002 through the end of divisional play in 2005.

Ballard is a former head football coach at Union College and assistant head coach and defensive coordinator at MSU.

In his 15 seasons, he has taken an MSU program in transition and ravaged by transfers following the departure of the previous coaching staff and led the Eagles to the four championships and to a school-record nine wins on two occasions. His 20-year career record is 122-101-1 and his MSU record is 87-76.

In addition to his PFL South Division Coach of the Year honors, he has been a National Coach of the Year (1998) for NCAA Division I-AA (FCS) Mid-Major schools and Coach of the Year among NCAA Division I-AA Independents. The 1998 Eagle squad was ranked number one among Division I-AA Mid-Majors by The Football Gazette.

He has directed MSU to NCAA national statistical championships in rushing defense (2007), scoring offense (1997 and 2000), total offense (2000) and punt returns (1997). In 2003, defensive back Charlie Byrd led the nation in passes defended. In 2005, then freshman Nick Feldman led the nation in punt returns. In 2007, defensive back David Hyland led the nation in interceptions per game. Ballard has coached national players-of-the-year among NCAA Mid-Major schools. They include David Dinkins (Offensive Back and National Player-of-the-Year), Doug Turn-er (Offensive Back), Bubba Combs (Offensive Lineman) and Toby Moeves (Specialist).

Gilliam was a four-year Eagle letterman (1983-86) during current Eagle Head Coach Matt Bal-lards tenure as defensive coordinator on the MSU staff. After serving as a student assistant coach for the Eagles in 1987, he joined Ballard at Union Col-lege. He spent six seasons under Ballard at Union and returned to MSU with Ballard in 1994.

Gilliam has coached a number of defensive standouts during his tenure at MSU.

Twen-ty-five Eagles have been named to the All-Pioneer Football League teams over the past six seasons.

Unger (2001-04) also earned Academic First-Team All-America honors in 2003 and Second-Team Academic All-America honors in 2004. He was the PFL South Division Co-Defensive Player of the Year in 2003.

Statistically, Byrd led all of NCAA Division

I-AA in passes defended in 2003. Current senior linebacker Wes McDermott led the PFL in tackles and tackles-for-loss in 2008 and set the MSU single season record for tackles behind the line of scrimmage.
