Good morning.
Optional Musical Accompaniment
I haven’t said much about Saturday night’s 33-7 loss at Ole Miss. I’m sure there will be a bunch of mailbag questions to answer on the “coaching” subject, and yet there’s this nagging tweet (lol, no I’m not calling it a “post” Elon) from Saturday night:
I would sort of summarize Vandy football's talent issue this way: Imagine you had a draft of high school players and everyone in the SEC had 25 rounds... and Vandy doesn't pick until Round 12, and then picks twice per round.

Chris isn’t normally one to make excuses for bad coaching, and it seems like the NIL issue is a bigger problem than even we thought. Blaming the coaches for everything that goes wrong is understandable, and yes, the coordinators kind of suck... but I just have this sense that there’s way more to it than a coaching change would ever solve. VandySports has been notably less angry (at least, the people running the site and appearing on the podcast) than they were during most of the Derek Mason era and that feels telling to me.
In other happenings last night:
Tyler from Spartanburg wanted to know why Dabo Swinney is being paid $11M.

Dabo went off!
“I worked my ass off…
You're part of the problem. If you wanna apply for the job, go for it…
You ain’t gonna talk to me like I’m 12 years old."
