History
2013 Season
The 2013 season was the first in which the Vanderbilt Commodores played. The Commodores finished the regular season with a 0-12 record, and were the only team to have done so.
2013 Offseason
After the 2013 season, described by Vanderbilt Athletic Director Geoffrey Robberbaron as, "An utter embarrassment! I couldn't show my head at the country club for weeks. And don't even mention the constant taunts at our secret illuminati luncheons", Vanderbilt hired serwendel, a former Vanderbilt recruiting coordinator, to the post of head coach. Said Robberbaron of serwendel, "He's a top notch chap, always good about avoiding those losses."
2014 Season
In the 2014 season, the Vanderbilt Commodores finished with a 3-9 record. While such a record is normally viewed as an embarrassment by other teams, the Vanderbilt fanbase have viewed it as a huge improvement. The Commodores' season was marked by wins over North Carolina and Florida.
2015 Season
The Commodores' 2015 resulted in a 8-4 record, followed up by a defeat in the first bowl game in school history, the Weis Market bowl. Vanderbilt's 2015 season was notable for the amount of newcomers played, with a school record of 8 true and redshirt freshmen starting at their respective positions.
2016 Season
The 2016 season began with Vanderbilt fans having the high expectations of qualifying for a bowl game. These expectations were ultimately dashed as the Commodores lost their first five games of the season. The team began to turn their season around with a surprising upset of the Florida Gators in Gainesville. Ultimately, Vanderbilt finished the season at 5-7, leaving fans with a good impression of the final stretch of the season.
2017 Season
The 2017 season is about to begin, with the new look Vanderbilt Commodores hyped up to begin the season in Cincinnati.
