UF should be all over him, albeit he should pass.

He is in the perfect spot. The school and fans love him. He is not expected to win a National Championship. He makes good money. The school is solvent. I get the argument for taking a payday, but does he need it? As long as he enjoys the job and school, he should stay.

Being a Vandy alum and fan of the school growing up i think he’ll pass. Vandy will pay him.

Yeah he’s not going anywhere. He’s a real dude not some used car salesman.
Really couldn’t have said it better and we started to see that with Angeli although a small sample size. Defenses once they reach a certain level, it’s much easier to sustain that level (I hope we are starting to see that with us, especially the youth all over the field). Offense though, you need at least serviceable options at QB to replace previous guy. Clark Lea started 2-10, 5-7, and 2-10. Patience doesn’t always mean success, but if we have no patience we certainly will never get to the level that Vanderbilt has arrived at and potentially will remain at for the foreseeable future.

Agree. He was also terrific interacting with Orangeyes, spending hours with him when Dan was down in the dumps, talking about faith, family and never giving up hope.
If I had a son, and he played football, I would want him to play for Clark Lea. He is awesome.

He’s a perfect fit for Vandy. He can recruit great kids for a great school. Actually, Vandy is a perfect school for the ACC.

I think he has more sense than that.
He grew up in Nashville with many family members who are Vandy grads, as he is. I do not see him leaving for any other SEC school.

He probably doesn't like r@pe as did Franklin and Penn State for the past 4-5 decades. Just a guess

I’m also an alum. I also think he will stay. The entire athletic program is getting more support. The current chancellor Diermeier came from Stanford which strived for athletic excellence to combine with academic excellence. He basically flipped the entire roster in his first two years to get rid of players who weren’t buying in. $500M+ facilities upgrade. Lea is turning out to be a solid recruiter. It remains to be seen if he caught lightening in a bottle with Pavia.
Yep. And having it would make the Nashville TV market a home ACC market. But VCnady will not leave the SEC.
