Tony Vitello to SF Giants (Confirmed)

[Vols919]

The social media beatdown Danny White is about to receive should be epic. If half of what is being reported is true, send him to California with TV and take Banks with you.

If people do act like this, we'll earn another decade of darkness.

DW fumbled hard.

I hope the new coach is Elander, but Danny can hire most of the top ten coaches in the NCAA. Most would love to make close to what Tony was making. I bet there a many hoping for a Tennessee call after the news today.

Sounds like Hindy is the only one who can transfer without sitting out

 

[BP4Prez]

LOL what? He isn't losing his damn job over this.

I agree. He’s not and he shouldn’t. I don’t think any AD was going to stop Tony from take a top MLB gig. But DW better hope football doesn’t tank the last half of the season after the dirty laundry got aired out.

Danny better get it right. TV bought the entire athletic department some grace. His winning at general like ability takes some pressure off of some of the other coaches. You lose a few more football games after this and it’s going to get sour real fast I’m afraid.

Correct. I don’t care if it isn’t a “revenue generating sport”. They’re the only program that’s won a natty in nearly 20 years and the only one that was seriously poised to win another.

Agreed!! With the price increases, the gate debacle, the product the football team is putting on the field and losing TV I think the pressure is going to ramp up on DW in a hurry.

 

[rocketskates]

CTV was the highest paid coach and was getting major renovations costing mucho millions - and this was DW's fault?? Laughable.

I lean toward the San Francisco efing Giants.

It was an opportunity to coach at the highest level. His love for Tennessee and his players made it a difficult decision. 99% of college coaches wouldn’t even have given it a second thought.

Empty words.

Reads like Elander it is. Let’s roll.

He is a very good coach and he will be missed. However, any intelligent person would not expect for Universities to be able to compete with Major League Baseball teams for a baseball coach. They have billions of dollars available for players and managers. Fact is, if one wants to blame someone, they must blame a person who worked himself into a position where he is the best in his collegiate arena and will be the first in modern history to earn a MLB managers title. How can anyone put blame on anyone who has achieved this position in his career? I certainly can not blame DW nor can I blame TV. I wish him great success in MLB and am confident DW will find the best person available to replace him.

 

[drylo]

You misunderstand Danny’s job. His job is making money and fundraising through athletics. Sports that don’t make money, that we spend a lot of money on, are a problem.

But unless he’s going to cut baseball (he’s not), he’s going to spend more on it than it brings in every year regardless. And if you’re going to play, you might as well win. The goodwill created by winning at baseball (vs. losing) is obviously good for him and the university. He has no incentive to tank the program. Especially now that the AD is sinking a bunch of money into a stadium, etc.

He took a pay cut lol

Basilio saying insiders at AD are saying Danny White is thinking about moving completely away from Tony tree and clean house within baseball. He’s about to become enemy #1

Basillyo reports the rumors he reads here. He has no sources. Hes the definition of fake news.

I said this earlier in this thread - players will be able to hit the portal with Tony V's departure!!! Guys will be jumping in the portal post-haste!

give us the cliff notes for those who have a job

@taylorvol


Hopefully Elander gets promoted but by chance he doesn't. Do you think Todd Helton could be a logical option?

They can portal, but will have to sit out a year

I believe they can't play this upcoming year though if they do that

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Here’s another source talking about the “fluid situation” and why Elander may not get the job. Embarassing by Danny White if it’s anyone else.

 

[Govol111]

Grad transfers can play immediately, right?
