"Vanderbilt will retain football coach Derek Mason next season, athletics director Malcolm Turner announced Tuesday.
"Look, this has been a disappointing year, without question. But we are going to focus on root causes," Turner told The Tennessean. "We have had 50 years of routine kick-the-can coaching changes without accompanying the fundamental underlying change.
"And out of respect for those who truly support Vanderbilt football and with the focus on building a successful and sustainable football program, this is a cycle that we really need to break."
Mason has a 26-46 record, including 10-37 SEC mark, in six seasons with the Commodores. Despite taking Vanderbilt to bowl games in two of the past three seasons, he has never posted a winning record. This year's team has greatly underachieved with a 2-8 record and 1-6 SEC mark."
