I'm having multiple sources from both the Vandy end and the Jamey Chadwell end telling me Chadwell is not in the mix at Vanderbilt at this point.
There was some contact between the parties, and Chadwell has been pushing very, very hard for weeks for this job. You saw the evidence, down to his director of player personnel following all the Vanderbilt commitments, Candice Lee's description of what they wanted that fit him to a T, all of it. And that's why I've been slow to back away from this until I got better evidence that he's not a serious candidate because lies are told all the time in coaching searches.
And as two sources told me today, "He'd crawl to Nashville for this job."
But ultimately Vanderbilt's interest didn't match his, and now I think I've heard this from enough places on both sides where I think this is accurate as of this writing.
People I've spoken with think Clark Lea is the lead candidate.
