It definitely didn’t work out in the long run for Mason at Vandy but I can’t remember Vandy working out for anybody.
What I DO remember is a few years back Mason had those commodores playing with a lot of heart and as a team. Hopefully that was his doing and hopefully he brings that to our defense. Cause it was lacking big time early on this year.

Same guy that just lost his team because he allowed a girl to come kick and give speeches to his team while he had other viable (and better) options available? Yeah... hard pass

Someone in another thread mentioned that rumor was the AD pushed it and Mason was fired after he opposed it. TIFWIW, but it didn’t seem like his style.

Vandy’s defense was worse than ours this year. Franklin left him a program on the rise and he brought it back to the laughing stock of the sec.
No thanks


My thoughts exactly.

So, let me get this straight.

Jim Leonhard runs a 3-4...Rantards shot down every thread that mentioned having him as LSU DC.

Derek Mason runs a 3-4...Rantards are falling over themselves to get him here.

How is he a guru of a defensive coach? I know he was the HC but Vandy’s D ranked 121 out of 127 this year. How would a ‘guru’ let that happen? What am I missing?

Tigerbaitlawyer has posted that he thinks Derek Mason is the leading candidate, so there is that ...Arky may not be too far off base

He was highly regarded at Stanford. Won the top asst award in 2012. Top 20 defenses in 12 and 13. He bombed at Vandy. Head coaching may have been to much for him especially at a school like vandy.

We were struggling all year to find one dependable linebacker. Now we’re going to all of sudden have to find 3 or 4 of them? Really?

derek mason turned vandy into a reliably decent/good defensive school.


There were only two teams in the country this year worse than lsu giving up yards per play. One was the Akron Racers. The other was Vandy.
