Derek Mason fired as Vanderbilt football coach
Vanderbilt has fired Derek Mason after seven losing seasons as football coach, the university announced Sunday.
Mason had a 27-55 record, including a 0-8 mark this season against only SEC opponents. The Commodores have lost 12 straight SEC games, their longest conference losing streak since dropped 23 straight from 2000 to 2003 under Woody Widenhofer and Bobby Johnson.
Offensive coordinator Todd Fitch will serve as interim head coach until a replacement for Mason is named, according to a Vanderbilt news release. The search for a new head coach will begin immediately.
