A win over UF wouldn’t be an upset at this point. Vandy would be favored. What has this world come to?
Good coaching and players that have bought in. 51 players from the portal really can change a team in a blink of an eye. It doesn't always work, like FSU, but when it does you can have an instant CFP contender, like Miami.
Coach Lea Year 1: 2-10 Year 2: 5-7 Year 3: 2-10 Staff changes. New SC coach, New Scheme (Tim Beck), Jerry Kill as a consultant, Year 4: 4-1 Season isn’t over but I’d consider those first few years for Lea as rough.
Clark Lea was a very good DC at ND. One of the biggest changes he made this season is he took back over calling the defense during the games. Coaching, quality coaching, especially on Saturdays, makes a big difference. I hope Vanderbilt will take care of him and he can stay there.
My ex-girlfriend (still one of my best friends) is a Vandy graduate, and she's very happy about their football team this season.
