In four-plus years at Vanderbilt, Derek Mason is 20-33. That’s not great, but it’s honestly better than most of his predecessors’ save for his most immediate predecessor.
In SEC games, Derek Mason is now 6-27. That’s not good. Against all Power 5 teams (yes, I’m including Notre Dame in that), he’s 7-30. Throw in a couple of games against the AAC (POWER 6!!!) and Mason is 7-32.
But let’s narrow that even further. Mason has faced eight Power 5 teams that finished the season with five wins or fewer, and he’s 4-4 in those games. Against Power 5/AAC teams that finished the season with six or more wins, Mason is 3-28.
