2015 Vanderbilt Position Previews: Towel Manager

Overholt, brought over to the football staff after two impressive years as Head Towel Intern for Tim Corbin's baseball team, has perhaps the most important position on this year's staff. Last year, though highly qualified for the job, Ms. Overholt, a junior double majoring in Climatology and Material Science, was passed over for what can only be described as a myopic nepotism hire in Bruce Dorrell-Klein, nephew of then Offensive Coordinator Karl Dorrell.

In retrospect, this botched hire was endemic of the failure of the early part of the 2014 football season. Dorrell-Klein, after resigning a similar post at Bed Bath and Beyond under inauspicious circumstances (reportedly mislabeling the thread count of towels and sheets), was brought onto staff as a favor to his mother, Cynthia Dorrell-Klein, without having to undergo the oft rigorous application process for the job.
