The Vanderbilt Commodores are on the hunt for a new coach, but it seems that search is drawing to a close.
It was reported earlier on Monday morning that Notre Dame DC Clark Lea was the top candidate, and it seems he’ll be the next leader of the Commodores.
On Monday night, Yahoo’s Pete Thamel tweeted out that the Commodores had finalized a deal with Lea:
