Caldwell must have a cousin in the media, I just heard that one media person picked Vanderbilt to win the East.
That's not surprising, really. Most players--especially incoming players--would have a better relationship with their recruiter/position coach than the head man, and I believe the entire staff is staying on.
Vandy's schedule is pretty rough. Even matching the wins from last year might be tough, so anything resembling progress might actually get this guy the job.
As far as the "culture" fit for Vandy, he's not it but that doesn't matter. If anyone at the school cared about Vandy athletics they would schedule more friendly OOC games to help the team make it to bowl eligibility.
I wish the guy luck. He'll need it.
I have a solution.......Vandy and MSU should just swap head coaches.
Of course, Coach Bryant wore one onto the field in '64 against Ga Tech at Grant Field because of the liquor bottles that were thrown by Tech fans there two years before. :smile:
What the hell is wrong with being a good ole country boy who is excited to have a job as the head coach of an SEC team? He's just being his honest self and that is awesome! I hope Vandy wins a couple more games for him this year, and at least he could possibly fill the entertainment void left by Elaine Kiffin
