The relationship between long-suffering Commodore fans and respected head coach Bobby Johnson came to an end on the afternoon of July 14, 2010. Johnson advised Vanderbilt officials he will retire effective at the end of this month.

It has been five full seasons since Urban Meyer took over for the fired Ron Zook as the head coach of the Florida Gators in 2005 and it's safe to say that he's done pretty well. Meyer has two national championships, two SEC titles, a Heisman Trophy winner, 57 victories, and a 14-1 record against the "Big Three" (Tennessee, Georgia, and Florida State) during his time in Gainesville. He's also endured numerous player arrests, accusations of cheating, ...
