Good morning.
The big news from Tuesday, obviously, was David Williams’ retirement announcement. If you’re looking for my opinion, my opinion is that overall, Williams was good for Vanderbilt, with a specific blind spot in recent years regarding the football stadium — which, let’s be fair, he may just have preferred that his successor implement his own vision for that.
So now, the search for a new AD begins. Adam Sparks has a rundown of what the new AD will have to deal with (read: the stadium), while over at the Tulsa World, Tulsa athletic director Derrick Gragg — who played football at Vanderbilt in the 1990s — is our first publicly mentioned candidate.
