Derek Mason, Vanderbilt HC
- Thread starter PAC MAN
- Start date
His recruiting at Vanderbilt has been pretty mediocre. I don't expect Vandy to pull in top 15 classes, but I imagine Vanderbilt thought they would get something Stanfordesque. That hasn't been the case. The past 5 years they've ranked 41-65 in the 247 composite.
Not much different from the coach we just got rid of. RG would need an intervention if he muttered Mason's name.
Derek Mason: After a recent SB Nation article tied Vanderbilt head coach Derek Mason to the Colorado opening, the Tennessean asked Mason about that possibility. Mason’s response was, “it would be unfair to my student athletes and Vanderbilt University” to comment director on that opening.
That's not denial.
That's not denial.
Umm
Nope. I'd assume he would love to have this job if his agent can get it for him.
I'd also assume that Rick George isn't stupid and means it when he says he's hiring with a goal of winning championships.
If there was mutual interest Mason would already have been announced. It’s not him.
Other than that box of this CU hire being about taking a mediocre program to a championship level and Mason's current job performance being that he took a program from a bit above mediocre down to mediocre.
I dont think so. The season barely ended there's still a process in hiring any coach
It’s not impossible, but because of recruiting, RG would be getting his guy here fast if they were available.
Also, RG has had basically 10 days already on his search. My money is on a guy still coaching in a championship game.
Would not be thrilled with Mason, but not a total no for me. If he brought in someone like Yost from Utah State to run the offense and then hired some recruiters....ehh, I'm having to talk myself into this way too much. Nevermind.
He would definitely be a wait and see hire. Can be bring in a better staff and recruit better being back out West and at a program positioned better for winning than Vandy? I can make a case it could work out but there are a lot of if's with where his staff could go, IMO.

Nope
Such lazy reporting! A better story would have been that he and MM agreed to trade jobs last year!
hard no. I'm surprised people are even interested. At best he's a ****tier Mac, took over a better team, hasn't done anything. Squeaks into 2 bowl games in 5 years. 9-31 in conference play.
Spoken like a coach who has had to scratch and claw his way to 6-6 in year five. Trying to jump while he still can.
I would rather keep MacIntyre. Mason would be about as exciting as Wells, Harsin or Leavitt, but at least those 3 bring an unknown factor to it.
Buddy in Nashville says this rumor is all the talk right now, and all the talking heads are asking why he would make a lateral move ... ****ing depressing. This hire is so critical to us being nationally relevant again.
Two SEC wins against teams who finished with winning records in five years.
Sounds like Derek and his agent played those comments perfectly to inflate his value.
