Hutton tweeted that George Plaster says that Navy's OC/QB's coach, Ivin Jasper, will be named Vandy's HC within 48 hours.

vanderbilt would probably have more success running the option, but I can't see how it would ever work week after week in our league.

I think it means they have been asking for a few weeks and getting shut down by bigger names.

Yay. That's how you create excitement around a program.

I heard Gus Malzahn mentioned also.
Let's get real here, they could hire the reincarnated demon offspring of Knute Rockne and Bear Bryant and still not be competitive. Anyone who takes that job is either a startup who will bolt at the first opportunity or a has-been-never-will-be.
Everyone knows that Vanderbilt is the Elephant Graveyard for coaches. It's where they go to die or simply kill their careers.
As long as Vandy Academia-snob alums keep writing the checks, Vandy will never attract the best athletes. They revel in the fact that "they don't lower the standards for anyone." It's all they got to hang their hat on.

They could probably go to a few bowl games with a veer offense and making their ooc schedule easy.

Vandy has bigger problems than the grade requirements. They are the only school in the SEC without an indoor practice facility, their weight room sucks, the stadium is tiny and sucks. Heck Stanford does just fine with the same grade requirements.

i think they need to try and swing for someone with a flashy Offense. so you could recruit system players who might not be as highly ranked. they might could get mike leach. i dunno. i just dont understand pulling the trigger so fast with a no name dude from navy. i mean i dunno. i have a soft spot for vandy bc my dad went there but who knows... i just dont see a coaching job in nashville at a top 15 academic school and not alot of preassure that bad of a job...i mean if they get the right coach they could win and be competative.... look at stanford....

They stopped allowing that a good while ago. It was back in the 70s and 80s when they allowed that.

I agree.
Obviously a good number of Stanford's (check-writing) alumni care about fielding a competitive football program. I don't think the same can be said for Vandy. That's part of the problem at Vandy. The whole mindset there is one of apathy and indifference. Simply put...they just don't give a d**n. The alumni and administration are quite comfortable wallowing in the mire of inferiority when it comes to the brutish sport of football. After all it is a sport for the bourgeois.
