Derek Mason Grants an Emotionally Unhinged Post-Game Interview after Vandy's Upset Win

College football inspires much fire and passion from everyone involved.

This past weekend, the Commodores were somehow able to beat a ranked SEC opponent, which is about as rare as it sounds.

Embattled head coach Derek Mason was all lathered up immediately following the win, for a number of reasons:

While he didn't actually strike ESPN sideline reporter Dawn Davenport, she did seem genuinely alarmed.

We should point out that Missouri is far from a great team, as the intrepid on-field correspondent labeled them, but this does count as a prestige win for a program such as Vanderbilt.

 

There's been much speculation about Mason's job security, which prompted this professional wrestling promo, but his contention that there's a line of folks wanting to be head football coach at Vanderbilt sounds like madness.

While they appear to be a scrappy bunch, there's literally no possibility of the Commodores competing on a regular basis in the SEC.

 

The Internet thinks Mason is just adorable:

 

That's precisely what you saw.

 

Indeed, most dudes couldn't handle the relentless misery.

Sadly, all this did was delay the inevitable.

But what a ride.
