Recruiting Forum Football Talk IX

[Fun coupon VOL]

Tony Vitello contract with Giants is 3 years at $3.5 million a year...

That honestly makes me think there were serious issues between TV and DW.

I would bet more comes out 6 to 12 months down the road.

Even if there was a rift- which I believe is being greatly over emphasized by borderline media leaches to drive clicks - it would not be a situation where TV was scrambling to get out right now. The entire premise is silly.

Chris Burke: well-known borderline media leech. Total click-bait guy.

OR, and just a thought, he couldn’t turn down the offer of being the first college coach to go pro like this. We all have a dream job that, if offered tomorrow, it’d be hard to say no to.

Lol No....3.5 is close to Top 10 paid manager in the mlb

I see Elander as a Golesh story. He was going to be the hot new thing…somewhere. And the same people bellyaching about this would be pining the loss of our secret weapon.

Hope he ends up getting the job.

Plus… it’s the major leagues

Best evidence of TV’s success is us talking baseball while our AP #17 Vols are in the hunt for a playoff spot and about to face hated rival Kentucky

How did you meet?

 

[PlanetVolunteer]

How did you meet?

After they helped build Stonehenge apparently...

 

[dmwvol12]

Lol, I'm not wound up at all. You are welcome to believe that it was all hunky dory and Tony couldn't pass up the opportunity of his childhood dreams but the evidence says otherwise.

No idea if they liked each other or not but the facts are DW made Tony the highest paid coach in college baseball and led the charge to build a new park for Tony. He also left him alone to do his job which is all you can ask of your boss. We also have the number one class coming in so the narrative that the AD didn't support Tony seems like some serious horse$h!t. I'll just go with hunky dory and not make up a bunch of nonsense about why the coach at Tennessee left to be the manager at the San Francisco Giants.

Also a significant pay cut.

Speaking personally, even though football success is what drives the ship, I feel like Tony was kind of the spiritual leader of this post-covid sports renaissance we’ve been enjoying the last few years.

We lost more than a baseball coach today. And I get the feeling that a lot of people agree with me.

Did you know Fred Kreuger was a kid who bullied Wes Craven for years? (Wes Craven was a kid at the time too)

One of the most charismatic coaches of all time period.

Don't look now, but MTSU has a lead!

Even if there was a rift- which I believe is being greatly over emphasized by borderline media leaches to drive clicks - it would not be a situation where TV was scrambling to get out right now. The entire premise is silly.

Let's go over the evidence that says otherwise.

1. Chris Lowe, hardly a media hack looking for clicks reported today on a Nashville radio station that Tony and DW hadn't spoken in months and he assigned an associate AD to negotiate with TV not even meeting with him personally.

2. Chris Burk and Kendal Rogers, again hardly people looking for clicks, discussed on their show that TV didn't leave to satisfy some desire to coach in the MLB. Both agreed that there is more to this.

3. TV almost took the A&M job last year.

4. When revenue sharing was announced, they took money away from baseball to give to women's basketball.

5. He went for basically less money when considering cost of living and taxes.

6. He abandoned the #1 recruiting class all for that.

Now you can chose to believe that this was all a big nothing burger and unicorn poop and rainbows but I can't make that leap.

Has delaware always worn Michigan uniforms?

Wait, did I miss something?

He just stumped his toe on the bed frame.

You are certainly welcome to believe that.

And the Giants. Not the White Sox or Marlins
