Vanderbilt fans disgruntled after loss to Georgia Tech, call for Derek Mason to be fired
Derek Mason’s seat appears to be heating up.
After Georgia Tech dismantled Vanderbilt 38-7 on Saturday, many on Twitter demanded the Commodores coach to be fired. Vanderbilt (1-2) gave up 511 yards to the Yellow Jackets’ triple-option attack while gaining only 275 yards itself.
A win against Middle Tennessee State last weekend gave the Commodores some relief after their season-opening loss to South Carolina, but things look to be heading south in Nashville yet again. Mason is 8-19 with a 2-15 SEC record in three years since replacing highly successful coach James Franklin.
Here’s what fans had to say about the Vanderbilt coach:
If Derek Mason isn't fired THIS WEEK then David Williams needs to be fired THIS WEEK.

Is this it for Derek Mason? Vandy didn't show up in ATL today.

It's impossible for anyone at Vandy to defend Derek Mason after this performance today. https://t.co/MntvNWVK8K
