The idea that anyone could believe a coach like Franklin when he called Vandy his "destination" job makes me question their capacity for reason.

There are 80+ D1 jobs better than Vandy. Better facilities, better support, better foundation, better profile.

Would never be able to compete consistently with UF, UGA, SC, Mizzou.

At Penn State he has a chance to revive a traditional power against pretty weak competition. Three years from now at Vandy and he's third or fourth in the East still. Three years from now at PSU and he could be fighting for a national championship.

No disrespect to Vandy but it's laughable for you to be upset that he "lied" when he said he wanted to be there forever.

This. You are my boy... hobbit, but this ^^^.

I thought the lack of a comma in the thread title appropriately and succinctly summarized the entire thread

I know that I have no authority around here, but I am about to end this argument.

Vandy Football = Auburn Basketball

Win enough every now and then to get to the postseason. Put some guys in the pros every now and then. Get some nice new digs. Get close on some games when they should get blown out. Pull an upset from time to time.

Most of the time, disappoint and break your heart.

This right here.

The FNG is making points. Unlike our basketball team.

There is a lot of reality in this here. It hurts.

Actually, the Vandy football team has been winning more games per season than the Auburn basketball team over the last 3-5 years.

Quote

Vanderbilt is reportedly going to hire Stanford defensive coordinator Derek Mason as their head coach. Mason has been linked to the Commodores by Football Scoop from the moment it was clear that James Franklin would be taking the Penn State job.

Mason knows how to recruit and coach at a school with high academic standards as he has been dealing with that in Palo Alto coaching the Cardinal under David Shaw. Vanderbilt has similar academic standards and is the lone SEC school that has a football program that can be held back because of them.

Mason is also notable because he is another African American getting a head coaching job in college football. Charlie Strong was hired at Texas and although the percentages are still low, African American head coaches are becoming less and less of a headline with time. While the issue should not be ignored, the hiring of minority head coaches is becoming less of a surprise, which is a move in a positive direction. With coaches like Shaw and Kevin Sumlin running excellent programs along with Strong getting one of the most highly recognized jobs in the country at Texas and Franklin going to Penn State, the landscape is much more welcoming to minority coaches that have been going to the NFL as quickly as possible in the past.

The Commodores are coming off of a 9-4 season with a win in the BBVA Compass Bowl, so the hope for Mason is that he can take that bounce in the fortunes of the Vanderbilt program and keep it going. With Tennessee still trying to reclaim its position in the SEC, the ground may be fertile for some sustained success in Vanderbilt.
