Vanderbilt football changes offensive coordinators

Vanderbilt has changed offensive coordinators, handing the play-calling duties to running back coach Des Kitchings.

Kitchings, 32, entering his third year on the staff, takes over for Jimmy Kiser, who remains on as the QB coach."I sat down and evaluated where we are, what we want to accompilish and where we’re headed," Coach Robbie Caldwell said today at his weekly press conference.
"I've made the decision to make Des Kitchings our offensive coordinator so Jimmy Kiser can concentrate on helping our quarterbacks be the best they can be.
"Kitchings is a great coach, a student of the game. He has paid his dues here. Never seen a young man take to it as quickly, moving into a new setting as he has. He’s excited. Our staff is excited. I think our players will be refreshed and ready to go."
Vanderbilt (2-5, 1-3) travels to Arkansas (5-2, 2-2) this weekend. The Commodores rank last in the SEC in scoring offense (18.9) and total offense (305.9).
