As VandySports.com broke earlier tonight and The Tennessean's Jeff Lockridge has confirmed, Vanderbilt appears to have offered Gus Malzahn the keys to the Commodore kingdom, along with around $3 million per year, if the reports are accurate.

$3 Million per year + job security + major commitment from Administration that has never appeared, outwardly at least, to be serious about its football program + getting to call Nashville, TN your home = too much to pass up? We'll soon see if this is the winning formula.

Stay tuned for more, as this ride's just heating up.
