Pimpton has a good pay day and gone. Not his fault, the system is broken

Looks like good fit! Even if he provides experience and depth it is great to have him on board.

Welcome to all these young men who have committed to this great University. They have been blessed with this opportunity and we are blessed to have them. 6-6 and a bowl in 2023! Good work coaching staff!

Will, congratualtions and thanks for living your committment.

Shouldn't we instate a draft? If we are paying people should at least level the playing field.

No rules means those who have no personal morals win.

Only raises one question for me......Why are colleges like Vanderbilt spending hundreds of millions of dollars on these programs when the game is now officially over? For decades we knew how harmful the free agent system is for college sports. Now we celebrate it. No fans at most schools. Losing mon...

Coming off this season, the recruiting day feels more interesting! Our needs are fairly obvious, but any good football athlete will be a great addition.

Good to hear we may have an option. League is tough to keep guys healthy in, so back-up players matter.

With the reduced academic demands on college athletes at Vanderbilt today, it is not reasonable to blame failure on exam week. When is the last time Duke blamed a loss to a mid-major on a Friday night prior to exams. That is not blaming CJS, but asking more of our players who are extremely well supp...

To go from 0 wins to 2 to 5 says alot for the current group of staff and players. It has never crossed my mind that Vandy would immediately start landing players who have top 25 SEC offers. Let's rally around the progress.

Retention is a big piece of us continuing to improve. Really important to retain such a quality punter.

Wright makes sense. He did a great service to the program and will be a great star at a lower level. I wish him all the best. We could not have won 5 games without him this season and doesn't seem to have a job at Vandy in 2023

Why would he take a step down to a UK team we beat? Lack of commitment to those who took care of you in time of need

Ray, We thank you for your great effort and the joy of watching you play this year. However, it would be a lie for me to say how I understand people given so much can then walk away when that provider needs them. College is a short time, but life is a treasure of memories. Being a rent a player is n...

Portal is so bad for the athlete. Allows coaches to dump players after making the commitment. Most people see it as the players advantage, but in reality that is rarely true. Prime is simply letting the cat out of the bag as to the way coaches use the portal

Yes, those 3 years give him a lot of options. We are assuming our 2 quarterbacks stay. This is a crazy new world.

Great news! I would say until we get to our scholarship limit, we would welcome most everyone back from a depth standpoint. Leadership is a great commodity!

Having recruited athletes the last 40 years, I can tell you authenticity trumps hoopla. Franklin was so good because he had both. As far is the star systems they are purely businesses. Ever;yone knows who the true players are, the key especially at a Vandy is can you evaluate the next rung down to f...
