Tony Vitello to SF Giants (Confirmed)

[Volstylexx]

I get this is a tough decision, but if you still aren’t sure moving jobs is right for you, maybe it’s a sign to just stay put.

3 days to think about. If your heart is that torn, that’s your answer!

It's not TV spreading all the rumors. Welcome to the Internet Age.

He's in complete control of it. "I'm staying in Tennessee." "I'm going to San Francisco."

Either sentence ends it entirely.

If he truly hasn’t made up his mind yet, hopefully the turn out from our fans and the extra love helps show him how much this place wants him to stay.

He just told the team he doesn’t know what he’s going to do…..Eric Cain.

But I thought VolNation88 said he has already signed his deal with the Giants??

 

[chuckiepoo]

Short term

Agreed. Not conducive to building a stable following, in most cases. Of course, no one has ever accused our fanbase of being stable…

He signed the ball he threw into the stands right? Someone said it said “much love, go Vols!”

It’s a life altering decision. It’s a good thing for us that he’s so torn

He would be leaving a team and city that he loves to coach at the highest level of his profession. But, he would also almost certainly be taking an effective pay cut, due to California taxes and COL. Plus, there's a very realistic chance that he isn't successful in SF and is out of a job in 2-3 years.

I would actually be MORE surprised if a man like Tony made a quick decision. It's a ton to consider.

I’d sure like to know where they are spreading these lies.

Facebook is my guess - cant wait for it to go the way of MySpace

Has he been banned yet?

 

[knoxvol52]

Maybe that pisses off the Giants and they just move on. Lol

To be honest Buster Posey isn't in a hurry. Hell Free Agency doesn't start til after the World Series.. plenty of time...saying that I believe we get a answer before Friday

As a grown man, I honestly can't imagine this level of nonsense around my professional life. Either you're staying or you're going. Pick one and get it done. Like ****in middle school out here with all the secretive nonsense about what he's going to do/when he's going to announce it/etc.

The level of ego and self serving tendencies in people in positions of power and coaching in sports is insane to me.

No doubt. I love having TV as our coach and really hope he stays, but I sometimes wonder if it's worth all the drama. Are we really wanting to keep going through this every time another job opens up? It's bad enough with other college jobs, now it's MLB too.

He’s obviously waffling and today’s fans showing up and chanting his name at a practice is exactly the kind of stuff that likely tugs at his heart strings. As trivial as this sounds, it’s exactly the kind of stuff that makes him love TN….

I agree. I don't think the decision was every going to come while games were going on. The window seems to be from today to Friday.

Maybe it’s just my personality and fear of change in general but if I was this torn over a career move, I’d just stay put lol

He is just being patient with himself. Advice i believe he encourages every recruit to heed.

This is true!

I get it on a smaller scale, and the way I’ve put it to them is “as much as I love yall, I’d leave for a life changing raise.”

Tony won’t be getting that. It’s purely the prestige of MLB. For me, I wouldn’t do it, but I can’t imagine how hard a decision it is from an unbiased perspective.

I don’t know how you do things like this, but I love you for it.

Yeah when in doubt like that usually the smart thing to do is to stay where you are.

I did this one time in my life. Agonized about making a big decision on a job change and eventually decided to take the new job. It ended up being a bad decision.

From that point, I never started looking into any big job moves unless I was already convinced it was time to go.

For the love of Pete, can we change the title on this thread? Every time it's bumped my BP spikes 30 points and my heart goes nuts.
