This Finebaum Caller Wants Vanderbilt to Hire Snoop Dogg as Its New Football Coach and It's The Best Idea Of All Time

With Vanderbilt having relieved Derrick Mason of his head coaching duties after seven seasons, there are plenty of names being floated for one of the two current head coaching vacancies in the SEC. But on yesterday's edition of the Paul Finebaum Show, I heard a new one that would certainly make headlines: Snoop Dogg.

Nobody can ever accuse Phil in Nashville of being uncreative. He just came up with the marketing idea of the century.

In all likelihood, Vanderbilt is going to continue to be the one of the worst Power Five football programs in the country, regardless of who it hires. It has academic requirements that it isn't particularly willing to budge on and the athletic department doesn't get nearly the funding the Commodores' SEC rivals do. So why not just do a full-on "fuck it" move and just go hire Snoop Dogg and see what happens?

I guarantee you whoever Vandy ends up hiring is going to get up to the podium at his introductory press conference and talk about "changing the culture" and how important that is to turning around a football program. Well, do you really want to change the uppity, holier-than-thou, losing culture at Vanderbilt? Hire Coach Snoop. He'll have that culture doing a 180 in no time.

Vandy would go from perennial SEC doormat to the most fascinating program in the country. Merch would fly off the shelves. I'd imagine recruiting would see quite a bump. I'm actually talking myself into this as I go along. Have Snoop Dogg be the "head coach" and do the weekly press conferences and be on the sidelines and then have the real football staff do all the coaching. I truly believe this could work better than hiring Will Healy or Jamey Chadwell and doing the same song and dance Vandy always does with its football program.

And if nothing else, it would be fun. Nothing about Vanderbilt football is remotely fun. Give the whistle to Coach Snoop and instantly become the most talked-about program in college football. It would also give us the most incredible second season of "Coach Snoop" anyone could ever ask for.
