Kimbrow, who was suspended on Sept. 22, has been dismissed from the team. Head, who started three games this season, has decided to no longer play football at Vanderbilt because of a "difference in philosophy" with the current coaching staff, according to Coach Mason.

Quote"Paris came here under one coach and one philosophy (James Franklin) and inherited another philosophy, so that paradigm shift was a little tough on him," Mason said. "He has chosen just to pursue his degree. There were no conduct issues or anything else with Paris. It was his decision, but we just came to a mutual understanding when we talked about it after the Georgia game (on Oct. 4)."

Head, a native of Lawrenceville, Ga., played 16 games (three starts) over two seasons, posting 28 tackles, three interceptions and one fumble recovery. Mason said Head is still enrolled at Vanderbilt, and he does not know of any plans for Head to play elsewhere.

"I think he has just chosen to get his degree, and that's all," Mason said of the sophomore.

Kimbrow, a junior from Memphis, was suspended for conduct detrimental to the team, and he has not played since. At the time, Mason said, "No one player is bigger than the team. We're not going to comment on anything else. It's always about team."

On Wednesday, Mason said, "He has not been with us for a month (for practices or team activities), but he has come to say hello and ask for some advice on some things."
