Tony Vitello to SF Giants (Confirmed)

[vols 30]

In this forum, it is not.

Agree with that. I meant vol fans in general

Reporting is saying Tony was wanting to stay and all Danny had to do was reach out. That’s a fireable offense for DW

I’m furious at DW today but there’s no way this is true

Eric Cain is apparently the first person to report Frank will be named interim, not Basilio, for all those people that refuse to believe it.

Too much smoke for it not to be. When the truth comes out, people are going to be shocked.

In 1965 we had three coaches get killed when they got hit by a train. One of the coaches was Johnny Majors’ brother, Bill.

A coach leaving for the bigs doesn't rank. STFU

I heard the same thing. Russ was just talking about it on the radio. Him and Bob said DW was using office staff to communicate w Tony. That as far as they knew the only time DW talked w Tony was Saturday.

Coach Elander has overwhelming support from the present team and past players. He's the logical choice (and correct choice IMO) to hand the reins to. Unfortunately, I don't believe White will do so. I'm hearing Kentucky coach, Mangione.

 

[AthensVol2007]

Lol no...im just not wanting to fire one of the best ADs in the country over our baseball coach leaving to be the first college coach ever to coach MLB

What makes him the best? He has 2 hires to his name here, that’s what ultimately determines success. His hires at UCF, Heupel aside, have been failures. His last baseball hire was fired, by his successor. DW thinks he’s the smartest man in the room when the answer is right in front of him.

If you are going to posts this then show your work. What exactly did Danny do that ran Tony off? I think Tony made a great personal move and is making a career move.

He was not native to Tennessee or the program and I think he was looking for the next move whenever it presented itself. I congratulate him and am thankful for what he has done for the program. Other than that, our AD has a proven track record in successful hires.

Good luck Tony and you are always welcome in Big Orange Country!!

There were problems between the two. However, Tony was tired of the what NIL has become.

They believe that TV taking a MLB manager position is a downgrade from HC at Tennessee.

Is the press conference going to be streamed anywhere?

I'm capable of critical thinking and when prior players, parent's of former players, and multiple others who knew Tony ... say there was an issue, yes I believe it.

 

[vol4life8694]

Russell on the drive saying Danny White only spoke to Tony ONE time since the news broke on Saturday. SICKENING

True

Argue with ones that voted

Tony was already building his freaking program..... Are you blind?

Again, he was second highest paid coach in the sport (second only to a guy with two natties) and $105 million dollar stadium renovation. Also multiple top recruiting classes. Nearly every sport doing better than when he got here. Mega investments in all sports. Record revenue.

But please, use your feelings for the basis of your argument. A day before the original Giants news broke Danny could do no wrong.

"I've asked Josh Elander to be a candidate, but we will be conducting a national search"

Too much smoke? Lol, internet rumors and speculation by "insiders" isn't smoke. Most of the information on the internet related to coaching searches or speculation is almost all BS.

Great we will become a team of cheerleaders in the dugout.

Top 10 mlb team

 

[Ttucke11]

Now we have to listen to a bunch of California losers talk crap to us about losing our coach...Tony is in for a rude awakening. He won't feel an iota of the love he got here.

 

[Volstylexx]

"I had a great relationship with Tony.... but I don't work as closely with him as others"

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Wow. Danny just admitted he doesn’t work that closely with Tony compared to others in his department after Brent Hubbs asked about his relationship with Tony.
