Rather him at culture coordinator. He can just help with Defense. Really don’t want him as DC though.


The dude has had multiple stops in P5 calling his own Defense as both a Coordinator and a Head Coach. He took Vandy to a Bowl Game as a HC after firing his DC mid-year in a make-or-break season and assuming DC Playcalling and flat out said, "I can do it better myself," and then put his money where his mouth was.

Put his job on the line and cut nuts and led Vandy to a bowl-season after he did it.

You know not of what you speak. But don't let that stop you from posting more.

...and for anyone of you other Rantards who wanna DV, geaux right ahead. This guy would be an amazing addition for a number of reasons before you get to the fact that he's a badass defensive playcaller that's done it all.

I'll say this again: He took Vandy to a bowl game. Not just one, either. He took VANDY to two bowl games.

Think about how effing difficult that is, people.

He has run a 30 front and a 40 front scheme in the P5 and been successful. He was known as the guy who began figuring out the Spread Concepts before anyone else and shifted alignments to do it.

He's also been an NFL Position Coach and has more chops than our Head Coach from both the NFL, DC and Head Coaching perspectives*

*I'm not saying he's better. Really just pointing out the abject idiocy and ignorance amongst the userbase of this website.

Nicely stated.

All that said, this hire would be a ground rule double (runner has to go back to third). We need a home run hire.

Everything you say is spot on. Any thoughtful opinion is appropriate, but the superficial degrading of an individual with no real research is all to common on this board.

A lot of people don't realize this now, but Mason would be a homerun hire as a defensive coordinator.

His defenses were absolutely horrific at Vandy, and he was far worse than the coach before him. Nice word salad but he was a failure even for Vandy standards

I would also like to say that if this was the case then where was he the past 3 or 4 seasons? Did he not have any say whatsoever about the defense? If he is a great defensive mind and a great hire then why didn't he use his defensive mind the past few years?

Good coaches can do more with less and that obviously isn't the case with Mason so why should we trust him?

LSU could roll an upturned broom with a bucket for a head out there at DC and be much improved.

I like Mason. Think he would do well.
