Vanderbilt coach Derek Mason will return for a seventh season in 2020, athletic director Malcolm Turner announced Tuesday.
The Commodores are just 2-8 this fall, leading to speculation about a possible coaching change. But Turner said Mason has his "full support" as the school tries to enhance facilities and other support areas for the program.
"I want to make it very clear that Derek Mason will be our head football coach moving forward," Turner wrote on Twitter. "Coach Mason has my full support and I am committed to working with him to ensure our football program has the necessary resources and support to succeed.
