Alright, Doc, I know this is unconventional, but we have to think big here. I mean really big! Outside the box big.

Don’t shoot this down immediately give it some thought.

I know it is the offseason, but……

Can you please call in Carla?

VN needs her now more than ever!

🤣 I’ll round up the whole family if it means keeping Tony. Carla, Marla, Sara. Hell, grandma might go too. We can offer an entire selection like the Bunny Ranch. He can pick from the menu.

Tony always said either your a Vol or your not. I guess he's not

Would be applicable if he left for another college program. Plus, there’s a small chance he stays. Danny White needs to catch a flight ASAP from Tuscaloosa and ensure CTV feels the love and gets an NIL budget similar to top 5 programs. (Never thought I’d ever utter those words!).

IMO Danny White dropped the ball big time. Diverted NIL money from BaseVols to Lady Vol Basketball. Danny White is protecting his hire for LV Basketball to the detriment of BaseVols. He also mismanaged LNS renovation from a one year project to a 3-year project. We need Larry Pratt to donate another $5M ear marked for baseball.

Well historically the lady vols program has been much bigger than the baseball team. I for one don't have a problem diverting some NIL money to the lady vols.

Man, break-ups suck. When both people treat each other well and have a mutual agreement (of future plans) then out of nowhere, one of the parties decides to move on.... Man, TN baseball has been so fun to watch under HCV. I wish him the best of luck in his NBL career. Tony, TY for being a part of Vol Nation and repping TN.

Basilio saying on his live show right now that Tony V and White have some issues and that some of Tennessee’s baseball NIL money was diverted to women’s basketball.

This is not a TV vs DW issue. Every college team that pays their players will have this issue at one time or another. Only so much money to go around.

It surprises me that SF would hire someone with zero MLB experience.....not even in the minors.

And this is a real $hitty day to let this leak.

Would be a very weird hire.

Plus why take a job in the same division as the Dodgers for the next 5-7 years? Seems insane.

They also don’t have much of a roster. Chapman is their best player and he got 4.1 WAR this season. They have tried past 3 years to spend huge and no big free agent wanted to sign with them. Manager is a simple thing in MLB, there most important person for MLB is the GM and he isn’t going to be that! Brian Snitker is an idiot that literally could have been replaced by a thumb cutout on the bench and they still won a World Title with him as manager. San Fran isn’t that anymore, they are second fiddle and will continue to be to the Dodgers. Heck their payroll is less than both Padres AND D-Backs. Seattle makes no difference in their payroll to what those that he will face in the NL west each year. Tony also likes to be the face and be front and center, I love his ego, but it just doesn’t work in MLB! Also that roster overplayed their stats this year, Matt Chapman is their best player and their starting pitching sucks with Logan Webb as their Ace and a usually hurt Robbie Ray as 2nd oh and of course the 42 year old Verlander. They aren’t built for the playoffs.

Not right now, but Posey just took over this year. He might have a big picture plan that works.

I see that as a win-win. We were never winning a title before Tony showed up and now we get to claim him in a part of history. People need to realize being a college coach in any sport during this time is extremely stressful and I really don’t know how they put up with it, other than the money.

MLB will be quadruple the stress with less managerial or organizational impact. Less impact on developing young men…. I wish CTV the best if he takes the job and totally see how it would be difficult to turn down. I just want to ensure Randy Boyd does everything he can to keep him.

NY Times. Another reason to hate them.

Should they cross the finish line, Vitello’s hiring for a major-league managerial position would be an extraordinary and nearly unprecedented leap for someone with no professional coaching experience.

My point is raise more money for LV Basketball but not at the expense of the BaseVols‘ budget. You simply don’t tick off your best coach on campus and arguably the best in NcAA

I’m sorry you believe that lol. He never has to step foot on a recruiting visit ever again. He never has to convince a kid to come play college instead of entering the draft. Could you imagine having the most laborious and tedious part of your job taken away, but you still get to do the other things you enjoy and still get paid the same, if not more? Sign me up 🤣

Reality for White is he can make a profit (not a lot thou) on women’s basketball. I love college baseball, both my sons played it but very unlikely Tennessee will ever show a profit on baseball.
