This no way around it, the Vanderbilt Commodores were terrible on offense in 2014. They finished #119 in scoring offense, #116 in rushing offense, #107 in passing offense and #125 in total offense. 

Give credit to Derek Mason for pulling the plug immediately on this side of the ball and firing long-time friend Karl Dorrel after only one season on the job. It's rare a coach only gets one season but the results did not warrant another shot.

Mason now turns over the offense to a coordinator with 20 years of experience in Andy Ludwig.
