Tony Vitello to SF Giants (Confirmed)

[Berry4Heisman14]

You can kiss Elander goodbye as well. Danny is going to clean house of all the Vitello disciples now that he got his way

If Danny really is this level of anti Vitello then he can kick rocks

 

[Ttucke11]

Yeah, I can’t imagine CTV doing something that’s never been done and accepting one of the top jobs in MLB.

What's this have to do with anything I said?

 

[Titans4Vols]

Glad he finally figured out how to make a decision, goodness gracious.

Was a fun run.

 

[volz2wallz]

And the one's it hurts the most....not white, not the administration,..THE FAN'S!!

 

[Bigorangefaninga]

Nobody can blame the man. Its the majors

Majors suck, the best players on the best teams win, plain and simple! You could literally have a computer make decision in game in the majors and win, coaching there matters very little. So he left actual coaching to be someone to sit on a bench and hope his players play good enough to win and not get fired! Also just signed himself up for 162 games a year not even counting spring training. It’s a stupid decision and his ego is getting the best of him. In the end he will fail and San Fran will look like idiots for the hiring. He came here as never being a head coach, we gave him the resources along with his recruiting to make it to the top levels. If our next hire is a good recruiting they will keep rolling while Tony suffers and fails in San Fran. This baseball team LOST 2.3 million last year and are on par to do the same this year! Not many programs in the country that will pony the money up he was getting here so when he goes back to college, he better hope Arkansas or LSU are open because anywhere else most likely won’t provide same resources to lose that much money.

Good luck to him! It’s not sour grapes either, because I don’t really care much about boring baseball, but this decision is dumb on so many levels!

Looks like I won’t need to keep my ESPN+ subscription anymore

 

[TN Jed]

Damn it.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Lol come on

I’m not backing Danny in this. I’m just not. It’s clear he views Tony is a nuisance and is happy to have him gone.

F*#K

Good luck Coach. Will be rooting for you, except when you play the Cardinals.

There’s a chance Pete is wrong, trying to be first.

There’s a chance Pete is wrong, trying to be first.

No there isn’t.

 

[wtmvol]

When he gets fired by SF in a few years, he's going to be right back in the SEC. Can't wait for that...

 

[DeepSpringsVol]

This STINGS but I am eternally grateful for the Championship.

 

[arkyvol]

Is Todd Raleigh available?

 

[Rockytoptn83]

Really disappointed in him dragging this out and not being upfront after what this fanbase has done for him. We are yet again left in the lurch and a national laughing stock. Can't really thank him or wish him well for that.

 

[NorCalVol67]

There’s a chance Pete is wrong, trying to be first.

It’s on the SF Chronicle.

 

[tnhunter 10]

Damn!

This sucks but please don’t go full Kiffin meltdown on this one. A lot of eyes on the program right now. Promote Elander and let’s roll.

TV has equal power in this decision, I'm not going to absolve his leaving in October just because he didn't get sprinkles on his mega-sundae.

Anybody going to war with the AD over this is going to hurt us in all sports, not just baseball. White would be an AD upgrade for 95% of other schools, and their fanbases will (rightfully) call us idiots for rioting again.

 

[LieutenantNeyland]

No there isn’t.

It felt good though, but deep down as soon as the rumor came out I knew he was gone. That’s how it goes for Tenn. BVS engage!

 

[K-town Vol Fan]

So your theory is DW doesn't like TV because he had too much success thus having to upgrade facilities, etc?

 

[Voltrapnbama]

Who is the first choice as replacement?

 

[Volfan2012]

Some really lucky college team will get a really good coach in about three years. That is about the time limit for Tony and the Giants to part ways. The only way it will be different if the Giants start shelling out more than 47 percent of their profits for players. The Dodgers shell out 73 percent and several other teams are over 60. Good luck to him and let's not lose hope until we get the full picture of the future situation.

 

[Berry4Heisman14]

We will see how Danny White feels when there’s 15 people at baseball games like the old days

he left in October because that's when MLB positions become available.

C’est la vie! Now, where’s the bourbon?
