Vanderbilt Universitys football program, once overshadowed by its academics and baseball success, has seen a remarkable turnaround under fourth-year head coach Clark Lea. Currently ranked fourteen, the Commodores have their highest ranking since 2010, with eight wins and two losses. This success, after decades of struggle, has drawn attention from larger programs, but Vanderbilt must act swiftly to retain Lea, who earns less than top-tier SEC and Big Ten coaches. The university is investing heavily in its athletic future through the Vandy United initiative, including stadium upgrades. Leas achievements are even more impressive as he wins without consistently signing elite recruits, focusing on player development. The Commodores close their season against Kentucky and number twenty Tennessee, aiming for their first ten-win season.
