Derek Mason is striking an optimistic note about his sixth season at Vanderbilt, like most coaches this time of year. Flush with an offseason contract extension, he’s still seeking his first winning record with the Commodores despite flirting with one a couple of times.
Mason said at SEC Media Days this morning this is his deepest team at Vandy. He has led Vanderbilt to a pair of 6-7 records and two bowl bids over the past three seasons, along with three consecutive wins over in-state rival Tennessee.
Kentucky’s Mark Stoops will also visit with the media today.
