Vanderbilt coach Derek Mason wants to schedule Stanford.
"We’re in the process right now of scheduling that game," Mason told WJOX. "We understand that the two schools have similar brands, but you know what? They don’t fear anybody and we don’t either." The Commodores hired Mason away from the Cardinal in January, where he was serving as co-defensive coordinator. "We’ll get a chance to get after Stanford and they’ll get a chance to get after us at some point in time, hopefully in the near future," Mason said. "We are still the best conference in the whole United States. If they want to come and get us, come and get us." Vanderbilt and Stanford have never played. May 22 - 10:24 PM

A Vanderbilt official confirmed that the school will name Stanford co-defensive coordinator Derek Mason as head coach.

John Ingram, a Vandy booster and search committee member, told The Tennessean that the Commodores have found their man: "Yes sir! ... I am very excited," he said. Vanderbilt is expected to announce the news any minute now, and they'll likely hold a press conference on Saturday. James Franklin, now Penn State's coach, has been picking off 2014 Vanderbilt recruits, so Mason's first order of business will be to fend off Vandy's old boss for the remaining commits.

Stanford co-defensive coordinator Derek Mason will be named Vanderbilt's next head coach, according to 247 Sports.

Shannon Terry adds no timetable on the announcement has been set. Mason has been at Stanford since 2010 after previously coaching defensive backs with the Vikings from 2007-2009. CBS Sports' Jeremy Fowler reports Mason has a second interview with Vanderbilt officials on Friday.
