With Vanderbilt suddenly in the market for a new basketball coach after Bryce Drew was fired on Friday, who’s next in line to be the head coach?
Well, before we answer that question, the first question we have to answer is what qualities we’re looking for in a new head coach. There is a segment of the fan base that is adamant that Vanderbilt must hire a head coach who’s a proven winner in a power conference. (Or “Power 5,” which is a football term; we’ll count the Big East here.) Others are less turned off by the Drew tenure to the point that they’d completely rule out anyone who doesn’t meet that criterion.
