Lea Learns from Brewers to Build Vandy

Vanderbilt football coach Clark Lea is secretly obsessed with the Milwaukee Brewers—visiting their front office, geeking out with GM Matt Arnold and manager Pat Murphy to steal their small-market winning playbook.

Lea, a former baseball guy, is also obsessed with analytics and wants to push college football toward smarter, data-driven innovation. Despite doubters, he’s convinced Vanderbilt’s unique path—shaped by roster changes and new compensation rules—could make them a national title threat.
