WOW

“I had a sheet that I had been looking for for the last 18 months,” Mason said. “Lo and behold, about two weeks ago, it popped up. I found it in my library of football books.”

“I had already gone through that list and really remembered a couple of items on there that needed to be checked off,” Mason said. “Now, I feel really good about what we’re doing and where we’re at.”

He noted that the ‘gameday checklist’ he has produced for this season includes 65 items “and it covers everything I need to know.”

I wonder how many of those items are "stare vacantly while the tire fire consumes your program"? I would imagine it would be at least on 5 or 6 of the line items having watched him last year.

Well, that certainly explains last season. Good luck to Vandy in the SEC Championship game.

Well, we did go to Atlanta in 2007, but as for every year after that, I blame Obama.

What is it with guys named Derek and weird arse press conferences. Next he'll be talking about shower discipline, watering bamboo, and asking where Rommel is at.

He'll know he's in trouble if his Mom calls into whatever sports radio show covers Vandy to defend him.

This is a non-story. If you saw the presser, you would realize he was joking about the importance of this particular list. Your second quote is also inaccurate.

"I had already gone through that checklist and really remembered -- but there was really, really a couple of items that needed to be checked off."

It was a 65-point checklist. He was out of his depth last year, but the lack of THIS physical checklist was not it. In context, it's explained as essentially a list of situations like 4th downs and chances to go for 2 point conversions. Obviously, a coach just doesn't forget that sort of thing. Mason was smiling and laughing through the story.

He has absolutely cleaned up his media presence a ton. From SEC Media Days through all of the pre-season interviews and press conferences, CDM has improved dramatically. If the team has improved as much as his public speaking, watch out.
