More Details on Vandy's Offer to Malzhan & Why he Declined
Posted on 12/14/10 at 3:33 pm
Posted on 12/14/10 at 3:33 pm
Sounds as if Vandy wrote into the contract an 18 million dollar buyout if Malzhan left his first year and also added he could not accept a position with any SEC School during the life of his contract. I'm damn happy to see a school step up with a contract that does not allow a coach to leave a school when ever he wants with little or no penalty. If your gonna offer a coach 3 million for 5 years then he needs to respect the contract. Vandy is ready to pay but not for a coach who will leave for a larger school. There's also talk if Vandy can't find the right coach for their program in the next month then put in another interim and get it right if it takes another year. They need a coach similar to Corbin and Stallings who will not leave for another school. He's out there, they just need to be patient.

maybe so, but finding someone who will be successful and will want to stay at Vandy is like looking for a needle in a haystack. better to take gus imo than settle on a coach who isn't nearly as good but you think will stick around.

because it's Vandy?

I don't get why people are saying "because it's Vandy"??? They offered $3 MILLION PER YEAR!!! There's not many schools willing to put up that kind of dough.
And to boot, if he didn't succeed, he could still always use the excuse, "Hey it was Vandy. What did you expect me to do?"
ETA for really bad spelling

I still don't think Vandy will be able to find a coach who will not bolt for a larger school if he proves to be successful. It's harder to recruit at Vanderbilt due to academics and being in Tenn. Their facilities aren't the top half of the conference: they are one of 2 schools that don't have indoor football practice facilities.
One of those you can improve, but you're not going to be able to out-recruit LSU, Florida, Bama, and UGA.
Vandy has signed 4 4* recruits and 0 5* recruits in the last 8 years. LINK Compare that to LSU who signed 15 4* and 1 5* just in 2010.
Do you think that will change just because they hire a $3 M coach?

All Vandy offered was the kinda pay a coach can get from other SEC schools and in return his commitment to stay and build a program.

I couldn't disagree more,
Signed
Gerry Dinardo

Works both ways.

Main difference being Vandy can sustain very competitive programs on the court and diamond(especially in the East for Baseball)..
SEC Football is almost apple vs orange in contrast.

Everyone needs to realize that Vandy's athletic program falls under the intrmurel department. They have no athletic director and because of academic requirements it's going to be hard to win there.

It has for others. If an offensive stud who is academically gifted enough to do both, he would choose Vandy with an explosive offensive mind running the show.
Points
Early playin time
Playing in the toughest conference in the country
Top flight education
Gawdy stats
etc..
Definitely much tougher to recruit, but it can be done to a point where they are respectable.

How many guys like this are in the country?
Even with Jay Cutler, who was drafted #11 overall in the NFL, couldn't win at Vandy. They finished 5-6 and Cutler won SEC Offensive player of the year in 2005.
Even Gerry DiNardo never finished a season over .500 before he was hired at LSU to go 7-4, 10-2, 9-3, 4-7, 2-8. His best record at Vandy: 5-6. Vandy has had ONE season (7-6) over .500 since 1982.
