    Vanderbilt fires Derrick Mason

    Per Brett McMurphy.

    Now Bama can hire him as their DC next year when Golding is asked to move on at the end of the season.

    Vandy needs to go ahead and offer freeze first. Doubt he'd take it this early, but who knows. Vandy (OM's permanent opponent) getting freeze would be hilarious

    I agree with you but no chance he would take that job. He's got either Auburn, Tennessee, Penn State, or Michigan.

    and after giving Mason 7 years I would say they have enough patience
    OXFORD, Miss. (WTVA) - Ole Miss campus police ask students to behave at future baseball games following a recent incident.
    The university said students were reportedly throwing rocks at Georgia baseball players during last weekend's series.

    So who does vandy call? I liked Todd's suggestion of Todd monken for them. Would Chadwell have interest? Could they get my boy, Dave clawson? Do they recycle and go with Barry Odom?

    I suggested his cousin Jeff Monken at Army. I think Clawson would be a fit there since he has had success at Wake Forest which is similar to Vandy.

    Monken has applied for the last three open SEC jobs- MSU, Mizzou, and South Carolina. And he's from Georgia. So I'm pretty sure he wants to come to the SEC.

    I could understand why he wouldn't. It's a lateral move to a more difficult conference.

    They need to try and hire a notable recycled NFL name. Jeff Fisher. Bill O'Brien type.

    If that doesn't work, I commit to the service academy approach. Triple option attack and go pay someone a bunch of money to run it.

    Vandy will no longer compete in the SEC with a traditional offense because they will never get the talent. Best chance they've got is to have a system that they can perfect and recruit players to that system and out execute folks.

    Very similar approach we are taking.

    Vandy wouldnt hire Freeze

    Vandy need to hire from the Paul Johnson coaching tree and run something nobody else does. They could attract smart kids that would play option football. They wont compete any other way and they arent going to win there anyway except for the random bowl appearance every 5-7 years. The South and Midwest is full of RB's and run-blocking linemen to help get some talent.

    This is probably the correct approach for Vanderbilt. Paul Johnson had a lot of success with option football, as does Air Force, Army. and Navy. It could very well be a success at Vanderbilt.

    He would win there I think. Assuming he's not over the hill. Georgia Tech is similar to Vandy in some ways. But that's why I mentioned Monken. He's a younger version of Johnson and comes from his coaching tree. IMO Monken is a better coach but Johnson is very good too.

    Their first call should be to who i would've called first here, Dave clawson. Clawson is winning right now in the acc version of vandy.
