For those of us desperate for any positive development in the next two years...
From Seth Emerson at The Athletic:
No jokes about “Vanderbilt didn’t lose this week, haha.” Instead a quick thought, since coaches are getting quick hooks elsewhere: Clark Lea’s third year has been abysmal, but the second year may buy him time, and he does appear to be trying to do things in a way that can make Vanderbilt competitive: The recruiting class (38th in the composite) currently ranks ahead of Washington, Missouri, West Virginia and other programs with seemingly higher aspirations. But if Lea is going to eventually get it going at his alma mater, you’d like to see more evidence on the field, such as with an extra week to prepare against an injury-riddled Tennessee team coming off two straight big losses. That’s not to say this is a referendum on Lea. It’s just that it’s important for the vibes.
