Tony Vitello to SF Giants (Confirmed)

[taylorvol]

He only has 5??? I thought for sure he had double that many

He needs lots of options to get out of Memphis.

Another UT grad that has done quite well for himself. By most accounts, he’s a pretty solid guy.

Not by my account. Good at what he does, though. No disrespect there.

Also, AP just said he's leaning towards Tony V staying

I’m serious…has anyone heard the rumor that one of CTV’s nieces was denied admission to UT? I have zero idea if it’s true but that would just be icing on the cake if true.

Likely just the final stages of negotiation…revised proposals with counters going on both with the Giants and UT. Jimmy Sexton is likely playing both like a drum. BTW, his clients rave about him. Saban trusts him like a brother. Jimmy is the king of college football. It’s very unusual to rep a baseball coach. Of course we know CTV isn’t a typical baseball coach.

Saban and Sexton would look good holding hands falling off the Gay St bridge wearing 400lb concrete shoes. The world couldn't be so lucky!

I need him to give me advice on how to get the heck on up out of Memphis

Had to start over. Invested all of his money with Jim Donnan

Great. That almost certainly means he’s gone.

Yippeeee!

I did it. It's not hard. Just move

Great. That almost certainly means he’s gone.

Laughed pretty hard at this

Austin!!!! Atta boy, Coin Flip!!!!

I think it's genuinely a hard decision for Tony; the man is absolutely wired differently than any person I've ever seen, heard, or met

Yep he said that but the entire landscape of college sports changed when House Settlement was implemented on 7/1/25. With Rev sharing of $20.5M, coaches are scrambling for their respective allocations. Reportedly, LV Basketball received $3M and baseball received much less. CTV knows he needs funds to retain and attract portal talent to UT, or Omaha visits will be harder than ever. The most experienced teams typically make it to Omaha and having $ for key transfers will be more important than ever.

The total $ (nil and rev share) ought to be what matters most. I wonder if those are also way out of wack in Tony’s mind? So hard to fathom that they’re too far apart on this to not keep Tony’s future and the future of this program intertwined. It’s so bright even as it is now.

And I can’t imagine it being better in the pros. Maybe he believes poseys promises and that his self interest will keep him true to those? I doubt it though. At the end of the day, the money ain’t limitless, as much as we all not in the know expect it to be.

Seems legit

Ben McKee said the issue with the Giants that seems to be holding things up is the buyout but they haven't made their final offer so we will all have to wait and see.

If there’s any hold up at all about money on that end, is he really leaving for a better situation? Smh.

Do you know what I believe? I believe it's orchestrated drama. San Francisco knew what Tony's buyout was when they offered him and probably whether or not he'd like to pay it himself.

Bay Area Bob vs Coin Flip Price

The insider battle we didn’t know we wanted.
