Vandy's HC in 2011 will be...

overworked and underpaid (relative to his peers ONLY).

Best of luck to the go-getter. You'll need it. Here's hoping and praying vandy's players stop getting killed. Brutal.

Yet there are worse career moves.

He didn't work out at TMU as just a QB coach, no way he's approached for a HC gig.

It wasn't that he "didn't work out" at TMU. He chose to leave the program due to personal reasons. I think he's now proven more than ever that he's an outstanding HC. If he can make the East Dillon Lions a winning bunch, then he could be the best man for a job like Vanderbilt's.

Gus Malzahn? :dunno:

Seems to makes pretty good sense. Vandy has been fielding a pretty good defense (better than AU) lately. What they're lacking is offensive production. Solution? Guz Malzahn and his magicgusbus offense with QB Kiehl Frazier at the helm.

Why would Malzahn ruin his career by taking a head coaching job in a wasteland? I don't see it happening.

I see your point. But without at least an above average QB, his system doesn't work. I don't think he could recruit the type of atheletes to Vandy to run his offense. But that is just my opine.

Hire Jason Street as QB coach. He'd leave his sports agency to coach with Taylor.

Probably for about the same reasons that Mullen left as the OC of Florida to take the MSU HC job and that Chizik left as the DC of Texas to take the Iowa State HC job. That's just a couple of examples, off the top of my head, of similar moves. Gus was coaching high school FB not long ago and he's still pretty young. I question whether he'd get a much better D1 HC job offer than Vandy with his resume. His forte is finese offense -- a pretty good Rx for Vandy's program. If he can go in there and show W-L improvement it could prove to be a stepping stone to a HC job somewhere that it's not so tough to recruit and win. Spurrier was HC at Duke, a similarly tough place to win, and showed that he could win games there with a finese offense. Duke was a stepping stone job for him. Dooley took a HC job at La Tech as a stepping stone. I think it's a move that makes pretty good sense for him and for Vandy.

Rick Stockstil (sp?) maybe? He is the head coach at MTSU and led the Blue Raiders to a Bowl Game this last year.

If I was Vandy I would go after Leech (sp), as a few have said before me, last year I would have gone after Turner Gil.

Rick Stocksill (sp?) turned down a thriving ECU program which set up Holtz for a great gig. I don't see why CRS would go to Vandy where failure is probable when he seems to be enjoying his place there at MTSU. He's waiting for a good job to come along, I think. Vanderbilt might be in the SEC, but it's not what I'd call a good job.

I'm not advocating for Stockstill either way but the reason he stayed at MTSU was to see if there was a higher profile job to be had down the road. ECU is about par with MTSU and he has a good thing going at MTSU right now.

Vanderbilt would certainly be a higher profile job.
