    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.
    It was a brain lapse. I meant Jeff.

    Vandy tried the option in the past, it didn't work. They need to make a commitment to their facilities. And they need to find the right coach. James Franklin won there. They are in the weaker division. You can average 6 wins per year at Vandy. Great city to sell and great education to sell. Stanford is a good model for them. I guess that's why they hired Mason.

    Nothing points to Vandy committing anything to football. If they didn’t when Franklin was there and he had back to back 9 win seasons will they ever?
    It’s a one year window job. The year you win 6 you better get the **** out if you have another offer somewhere or go into Mullen Mode and look everywhere for one..
    Mason had his window close after the 2018 season .

    You may be right but if Monken wants to come to the SEC Vandy is the only place I could see that would hire him.

    Mike MacIntyre seems obvious since his Dad was a head coach there and he is the DC at Memphis. I would think he would take it if offered.

    It's going to be interesting to see who Stricklin hires when he goes to the NFL.
