John Rich pays to get Vandy coach's mug on building mural | tennessean.com | The Tennessean
Other than those minor details, Caldwell said he was honored to have his face added to the mural, which includes men's basketball coach Kevin Stallings, women's basketball coach Melanie Balcomb and the Vanderbilt logo.
It should be noted that this is country music artist John Rich (of Big & Rich) and not Vanderbilt booster and former player John Rich (as in the John Rich Practice Field). We at AOG think it's high time that Coach Tim Corbin has his visage added to the mural. Make it happen Chancellor Zeppos and Vice-Chancellor Williams!
