Weird pick, Vanderbilt has the least chance of success and the most realistic expectations.


This is Mason's seventh season. He's about to have seven straight losing seasons. Coming right off the heels of James Franklin's success proving it was possible to win there at least a moderate amount. I mean, you can't even get away with that in high school football. It's weird to me that Vanderbilt has chosen to squander that momentum and positive press and settle for this guy for the next seven+ years. I know sports are not Vandy's priority, but it IS possible for them to have success in football, if they just tried a little.

Franklin was also the best coach they ever had in the worst east division of the entire modern era. It was a different situation. Muschamp is more likely imo because South Carolina thinks they should compete because lil ole clempson does.

You gotta consider the cost, though. Yeah, Franklin won some games, but it came with a rape scandal. That kinda shite can't fly at Vanderbilt.

How many times has he beat Tennessee though? I'm guessing that's been a factor in retaining him, on top of him clearly having passion based on his post game interviews, and seems he's been running a clean program and I imagine his players have been meeting academic standards.

There's also the question of who do you get to replace him?
