Vanderbilt commits to head coach Derek Mason for 2020

Vanderbilt is heading for its sixth consecutive losing season under Derek Mason, but the head coach is not in danger of losing his job despite the disappointing results.

On Tuesday, Vanderbilt athletic director Malcolm Turner issued a statement confirming that Mason will remain the head coach of the Commodores going forward.

Mason has been the head coach at Vanderbilt since James Franklin left for Penn State following the 2013 season. His overall record is 26-38, and the Commodores are 2-8 this year. If they finish with two wins, that would be Mason’s worst season with the program. The decision to keep him may not be a popular one, but Vanderbilt obviously believes in the direction the program is headed.

We had heard rumblings of a former NFL coach potentially drawing interest as a replacement for Mason, but that is not going to happen this year.
