Derek Mason, Vanderbilt
I really want Mason to succeed at Vandy. He plainly loves the place; he does things the right way; his players adore him and play hard. And yet...yet, going into his sixth season, things just have not clicked in Nashville. The offenses in particular have been woeful. Only a three-game winning streak against Tennessee and a few barely-bowl-eligible seasons are keeping this seat less scorching than it should be.
