Letting Go
Robbie Caldwell, the head coach for Vanderbilt has been asked to step down. It was a common feeling that it was in the best interest of the university and the football team that he be let go. Caldwell is thankful for the opportunity that was given to him, but he also understands that it was time for a change even though he was only there for a year. The program has not improved under his directing, but this has been a common problem with coaches in the past as well. He will coach his final game as head coach of the Commodores against Wake Forest. The Commodores team has lost 6 straight games and is ranked 115th of 120 teams in FBS. The team is also averaging a total of 285.1 offensive yards.

That's ashame but if the program is not getting better then you need a change. It's the only logical thing to do.
ReplyDeleteI believe that Vanderbilt made a good decision in letting go of Coach Caldwell. Vandy has not been a threat in the SEC in years and in order for their program to get top recruits they needed to do something to change their program. Although it is not always the coaches fault that the players are not performing well, in college the players can not be traded or let go, the only thing a university can do is get rid of the coach.
