Hall of Honor
Maskill directed the Mustangs to 19 winning seasons, including in each of his first 17 years in Wichita Falls. Put in perspective, the Midwestern State football program posted winning ledgers just eight times in 25 years of football prior to Maskill's arrival.
His 160 wins as a head coach in the Lone Star Conference are the second most in the league's storied history trailing only Ron Harms, who won 172 games at Texas A&M-Kingsville from 1979-1999.
Under Maskill's tutelage, Midwestern State thrived. The Mustangs averaged nearly eight wins a season while logging at least eight victories 12 times. The program managed to post eight-or-more wins just three times in its previous 23 seasons of existence, claiming 10 victories in 1949 and nine wins in 1946 and 1991.
Maskill guided Midwestern to five Lone Star Conference titles (2009, 2011, 2012, 2017, 2021) including a pair of LSC South Division titles in 2004 and 2009. The Mustangs also claimed the LSC Playoff title in 2015.
Maskill earned his first LSC Coach of the Year honor in 2009 leading the Mustangs to their first conference title with a 9-3 mark then earned the accolade again following the 2011, 2012, 2015, 2017 and 2021 campaigns, the most of any coach in LSC football history.
In all, Maskill coached 33 All-Americans, 57 all-region selections, and 78 All-Lone Star Conference first-team performers in his 22 seasons in Wichita Falls.
During his time, MSU had three players hit the field in the NFL including Amini Silatolu, Marqui Christian and Joe Unga. Silatolu was selected by the Carolina Panthers in the second round of the 2011 NFL Draft, while Christian was taken in the fifth round of the 2016 NFL Draft by the Arizona Cardinals.
Maskill also mentored a trio of Harlon Hill finalist quarterbacks building on MSU's strong tradition of offensive potency including Phillip Boggs in 2002, Zack Eskridge in 2009 and Brandon Kelsey in 2011. That's not to mention a pair of All-America signal callers in Daniel Polk and Layton Rabb. Both men led MSU to postseason showings.
