I’m confident it had more to do with the 50-odd to nothing blowout than the chick place kicker.
LOL your post made me giggle.
From the article:
Vanderbilt ultimately lost to Missouri 41-0, dropping the program’s record to 0-8.Mason was fired shortly thereafter.
Mason amassed a 27-55 record in six seasons at Vanderbilt. He will go down as the sixth-winningest coach in program history and only the second to make it to two bowl games.
Maybe the sixth-winningest coach in number of wins, but he's number 20 out of 28 coaches in winning percentage.
