Coaches Conference (via X)<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Clark Lea is the head coach of the football program at Vanderbilt College, and he has been with the team since the 2021 season. His team seems to be very disciplined, but it looks as though he found out that even the professionals aren\u2019t sometimes.<\/p>\n

Lea helped lead the Vanderbilt Commodores to a solid 2024 college football season record. They upset Alabama this season and earned a bowl game, playing in and winning the\u00a0Birmingham Bowl.<\/p>\n

Of course, any team that heads to a bowl game has to have some high standards both on and off the field, and Lea revealed his standards at a recent coaching conference. He revealed some interesting things.<\/p>\n

While Lea refused to name the franchise, a specific\u00a0NFL<\/a>\u00a0team was allowed to use the Commodores\u2019 locker room while on a road trip, unfortunately, the Commodores returned home to find their locker room in disarray.<\/p>\n

Lea criticized the unnamed NFL franchise, claiming it didn\u2019t show the same values as the Commodores. He called the act \u201cexternal vandalism\u201d and said you can\u2019t expect everyone to hold the same values outside as in.<\/p>\n

    \u201cInternal vandalism to external vandalism,\u201d wrote Doug Samuels. He added, \u201cThey allowed an NFL team to use their facility while they were away. An injured player stayed behind and send this picture to Lea. This is an example of external vandalism.\u201d<\/p>\n
