Probably $3-4 million reasons, plus the alum status can get him 3-4 years easily.why would anyone take that job?
Both great points, but that is a graveyard job. No win situation there on the field
Which is why I agreed to both the gentlemen's point above me. But if you want to lead a successful program, Vandy ain't it. Far too many obstacles.There aren’t many HC jobs and there’s a ton of guaranteed money. And if he flames out he can go back to being a coordinator. He’d be a fool not to take it.
For Lea’s sake, I hope Vanderbilt committed to investing more in the program upon his hiring.Both great points, but that is a graveyard job. No win situation there on the field

Not too difficult to retire, with all that green in the bank.

You’re probably not wrong. I think we’ll find out soon enough; from what I’ve read, Vanderbilt is currently deciding between renovating their stadium or moving into a new off-campus stadium with the group pushing to get the MLS in Nashville.That's probably doubtful. David Williams, the former Vandy AD that kicked the bucket at The Pancake Pantry not that long ago, had a good working relationship with James Franklin. Franklin was able to grease up donors in a way that had not been done there before, and he got a new indoor practice facility built, and they went in for some recruits that they would never entertain in the past. That slight change in culture seems to have been short lived, at least for football.
I think that’s a good hire for them and a good landing spot for him. I see it as a win-win; VU can have confidence that he likely won’t leave quick due to Lea being an alum, which will likely buy him as much time as he needs to build that program up.
Good luck to him (he’ll need it!). Would love to see Vandy become competitive, and would love to get a home-and-home with them going.
why would anyone take that job?
Yeah. No way to use it as a springboard to a high profile blue blood program. Wait...
Was in the car business for 43 years. Found out first money, is generally the best money.....yeah but if you're a hot up and comer at ND, you'll have options. this is like one of the prettiest girls in school going to prom with an ugly meathead b/c he was the first to ask.
Might help recruiting to schedule an SEC schools, though Vanderbilt might not push the needle. Personally, I’d like it because it’d be a game I could travel to!Well if Pitt’s P5 scheduling history is any indicator that would bode well for them. From our standpoint I’m not sure what there is to gain from playing them though.
