Pavia wants to dominate in Pop Warner.

I’d say we’ll see this more with the money in CFB, especially from guys that have little chance of making it pro. Milk that cow

He is gunning for Tennessee. Wait and see!

How did that work out for him last year when they were riding high off that Bama win?

 

[Gladiator1]

Hope he gets it, I'll appeal and get a year or two with Tony. In my 50's but I'm a hellve of a bullpen catcher.

Not sure that ever happens.
If Lea can keep Vandy in or around the Top 20 every year, play at a decent bowl game, and keep them middle of the pack in the SEC so the administration keeps raking in money he likely doesn't leave.

A big part of it with Clark Lea is Vandy has always been home...born in Nashville, grew up a Vandy fan, attended Vandy games as a kid with his family, started college out of state then transferred to Belmont and got into Vandy his final two years.
There are accounts that HE called Vandy when Derek Mason was let go to let them know he was interested...he could have stayed at Notre Dame and would have been considered as their next HC when Kelley left.
He was part of that 'every Saturday' program on Netflix and you can just tell he sweats Vandy out of every pore of his being.

All that said, we've seen other coaches in similar situations (successful at their alma maters, etc.) grab at the dangling carrot and leave.
Most famous pops in my mind is Spurrier at Florida...if there was ever a "HC for Life" it was him at FLA, but the Redskins dangled 5 mill a year in front of him (richest NFL contract for a coach at that time).

that'll just make it even better when it happens

we lose that game if bama pounds vandy as expected. They tipped their hand too early!

Why wouldn’t he? Vanderbilt is basically his pro team given what he is being paid and he isn’t going to make it as a NFL QB.

if he wins this, would this mean Aguilar could potentially have another year as well?

UPDATE - he confirmed this is his last year

He didn’t confirm anything. Just said it was and he’s be gone after this year. He probably thinks he’s going to go pro

I guess the Arena League is technically pro.

Hard to leave with In-N-Out coming to town.

Hahaha. Agreed!!!

Yep, man could you have imagined Tebow's $$$ back in the day? Plus, now where these guys can stay in college a play for however many yrs it seems. Gah, that would've been so terrible

Clark Lea brought in a number of coaches from Jerry Kill’s staff at New Mexico State. Jerry Kill is listed as a consultant to Vanderbilt. OC Tim Beck brought Pavia to Vandy. These “Killers” are key to continuing development of Vandy’s football program. Lose the “Jerry effect,” and Vandy falls back into looserville.

Pavia has confirmed it’s not true.

I hope the last thing he sees in his college career is the blue sky. Followed by a young man in an orange jersey stepping over him after he got trucked on his last play in Neyland.

Bama is 7-5 in their last 12 games.
Bama may not be a very good team right now

it still alerted everyone vandy could be a threat

 

[volfan2024]

I’m thinking political. I’m thinking Vols should have used his attorney for basketballs Zeigler.

 

[UnkStar1975]

Vandy's schedule is so tough I don't see them winning more than 8 games! That will still be quite an accomplishment for Lea / Vandy! He is proving to be a great coach! I wish Heupel had hired him as the DC instead of Banks!!! If so, UT may have won the NC last year. They would have definitely beat UGA this year!

We really did beat UGA,some people can not allow that to happen but it really happen with ease,if you catch my draft.

Might be a good idea for Diego, he seems unemployable in the real world.

I agree. I gave credit to Clark Lea but there is a "perfect marriage" of circumstances which are contributing to their results.
