nah, it'll be Daniella Carlson kicking field goals

Edit: On that though, who was coaching our field goal kickers over the Malzahn era?

Fantastic hire. After the last couple of Boise hires I was getting worried.

I like the hire. I like Mason.

One of the kids at our school went to play for him. He was diagnosed with melanoma, but Mason honored the scholarship, gave him access to Vanderbilt medicine and also helped coordinating fundraisers and such for him.

Mason’s defenses were great at Stanford, and vandy at first.

He had Vandy playing some hard nose defense when he first got there, just didn’t have enough weapons.

I’m happy with the hire.

Does he pick and choose who stays and goes on the defensive staff?

Likely gets a strong say in it. But I’m sure Harsin will have input

My only concern is that its just so different. There are others I'm sure, but Dave Aranda is the only other 2-gap desciple that I know. It also requires some heady fricking DT's/NG's.

No question he's a great coach and did well at Stanford.

Also, I used to listen to Coach DM on the Vandy radio show every once in a whilst in Nashvegas. He's a great guy and I'll be shocked if we don't have a kickass defense once he gets rolling!
