Derek Mason at SEC Media Days

The SEC made us wait until the fourth and final day of SEC Media Days. Derek Mason, however, was not interested in their delay tactics. The Vanderbilt head coach was hard at work yesterday. He descended on radio row and was making his message heard. According to the SEC Network, with input from radio row veterans, no coach had done that since Tommy Tuberville at Auburn. No year was given, but it was at least 11 years ago. The confidence and comfort level to put yourself in front of extra media, recognizing that they might be less energetic in bringing a coach on while wrapping up their final day in Hoover, tells me Derek Mason is highly confident in both his team, his message, and his ability to represent both.
