First-year head coach Clark Lea is the latest man to try and defy Vanderbilt gravity. In modern College Football betting times, only James Franklin escaped Vanderbilt with his coaching career enhanced. Franklin put together two dream seasons during his time at Vandy. And then he was smart enough to bail for the Penn State job. As a Vanderbilt alum, Lea understands the program better than an outsider. Problematic is that Lea inherited a mere shell of a program. He will need years to dig out, and even then, it may not be enough.
