Vanderbilt coach Derek Mason isn't shying away from responsibility for Vanderbilt's awful 2014 season.
"We weren't a very competitive football team in 2014, and that's on me. I take full responsibility for that," he said at the SEC Media Days in Florida today.
"We struggled to find identity," he said. "What we've tried to do in the last eight months is try to right the wrong."
When asked about pressure, he said: "It's college football. I've been coaching 22 years. So my understanding is that every year I coach on a one-year mentality. That's a mindset. That's what you do. You understand

The turnaround of the Florida Gators isn't going to happen overnight, new coach Jim McElwain has said.
McElwain, who came from Colorado State after head coach Will Muschamp was ousted from Gainseville after an awful 2014 (led by an horrific offense), said at the SEC Media Days: "I think part of the experience of being in this conference is realizing it doesn't happen just overnight," he said.
He was full of praise of standout corner Vernon Hargreaves, who could well be a Top 5 pick in the 2016 NFL Draft: "I love the way this guy comes to work every day. The way he practices, the way he thrives

On Tuesday we told you what we're expecting from SEC West coaches on the schedule. It should be a lot of talk about the schedule, quarterbacking and good running backs. Of course, we'd love them to talk about LSU and Alabama's penchant for getting people arrested, shitty defensive co-ordinators, and their hot wives/daughters/do-nothing husbands-in-law, but it's probably not going to happen.
Anyway, this time it's time for your SEC East coaches.
FLORIDA
What Jim McElwain will probably get asked: How he's settling into the job ("I love it down here. It's a change from the Rockies"), how

The SEC Media Days (July 13-16) don't generally have a whole lot, yet they are still entertaining. Maybe it's because Steve Spurrier is always guaranteed the good one-liner, maybe it's because Nick Saban's always whining about something that's wrong with college football, or maybe it's because we're all waiting for Les Miles to kiss one of his players on the mouth.
Here's what we think each school's going to get asked about.....and what they SHOULD get asked about....
ALABAMA
What they will ask Nick Saban: The evil schedule (The quotes that will get spouted will be: "We play in the

We love America. We love America so we'll be celebrating by joining our buddies drinking beer and hanging out and celebrating our wonderful country. We probably won't go in the water by the beach, because if that 30-person flotilla's anything to go by, it'll be a sewage dump come about 6pm.
Anyway, we love America, and we love the SEC. So here's Top 10 things we love about the SEC.
Happy Reading.
1) Our stadiums Cool names, cool looks, and hedges. What could we want more? We love our stadiums at night more than we love them during the day, because the atmosphere's something special.

LSU's dismissal of redshirt freshman defensive tackle Trey Lealaimatafao on Monday night showed that Les Miles actually has some stones.
After his arrest for hitting a woman after she attempted to stop him battering her boyfriend, Miles immediately suspended the player - who had caused him disciplinary issues last year as well - and then dismissed him on Monday night.
Of course, there are worries about LSU's depth, according to Bleacher Report. Lealaimatafao would have either seen time on the field or started for the Tigers, and now he's gone, there are holes.
But there we go. LSU will

Four-star defensive tackle Quinnen Williams has decided to go to Alabama instead of Auburn.
The 6-4, 265lb star from Wenonah School in Birmingham, AL had committed to Auburn before de-committing from The Plains on June 5th without reason and looking over his options.
AL.com noted that Williams was Auburn's third decommittment of the year.
ESPN Scout said about the player: "Williams is a defensive line prospect with very good overall size and outstanding playing strength with a frame that can continue to be developed and support more good mass with time in Alabama’s weight program. The

I miss my SEC Football. I miss my falls. I miss the summer. Everything's going far too slowly.
Hands up if you can't do another Saturday wedding. Or another Saturday visit to your parents or grandparents. Or another baseball game (and there's no college baseball anymore). Hands up if you're constantly checking the calendar and counting down to the first weekend of the college football season, and praying that God will bring it over at the speed of a Texas lightning storm.
Anyway, while you're waiting, here's 20 SEC-ish things to do during the dog days of summer....
1. Check up on recruiting
It's

The Vanderbilt rape case has been declared a mistrial.
The case was thrown out because the jury foreman did not admit that he was once the victim of a sexual assault.
Corey Batey and Brandon Vandenburg had both been accused of crimes of aggravated rape and sexual battery, and were found guilty five months ago on five counts of the former and two counts of the latter.
According to CBS, both players had been waiting sentencing before the revelations took place, which might mean that they avoid decades of jail-time.
The trial, CBS noted, "featured graphic video
