Once upon a time Gerry Dinardo brought the option to Vandy... and never had a winning season in a much weaker SEC.
Well, to be fair:
1) He did beat Georgia a couple times. I was 7 years old but I was there to see the 1994 game.
2) Everything about the game was different at that point. Now, maybe the weaker SEC put them more on par with Vandy, rather than Vandy also being worse, but they were creeping around bowl eligibility with him there.
Nevertheless, I'm not sure that Monken is a Dinardo, and I don't think that experiment would last more than 3-4 years.
