Derek Mason: 3

Success is measured at Vanderbilt by making bowl games, and for the first time in Mason’s three years in Nashville, they did that in 2016.

While 6-7 is nothing to celebrate, increasing your win total in each of your first three years is. And to add the cherry on top, they beat their in-state rival Tennessee for the first time since 2013.
