So, just a wellness check-in here in the dugout. Want to make sure everyone is still with us post-Vitello. I hate that he left, but you can't blame a man for trying his hand in the ultimate position of his profession. The Vols will be ok. Carry on, and, oh yeah, @MAD (Detroit blows.)

Lots of heads are going to roll. They are questioning why the NBA allowed players to continue playing after sports books alerted the league of potential illegal betting activities the day of those specific bets. And on top of that they have the Clippers salary cap circumvention investigation ongoing. Good thing they signed huge tv contracts because a lot of that money is going to be spent in courtrooms.

The older I get, the less excited I get when it comes to sports.
I think that’s why this week has been so rough on me.
Tennessee baseball is the last sport that I truly got excited for and now I’m dealing with all of this unknown.

I keep going back and forth with mixed emotions.
I’m extremely happy for Coach V and I’m extremely happy for the opportunity I hope Elander gets.
I worry about Frank, Kirby, Ross, Q and the players.
I’m sad because we have seen a 5 year run that rivals any in college baseball history and I don’t want to lose that.
Tennessee baseball will be different but I can’t wait to get back to LNS and watch our baseVols!

I’m perfectly fine with it. Anyone that has an issue with it is too emotionally invested. Vitello owed us nothing from the beginning and he brought us a national championship. We owe him nothing but gratitude for choosing our dumpster fire of a program and making it into the best in the country. Nobody saw that kind of success coming. Your job as a coach is to leave your program better than you found it and he is leaving it as best you can. We are setup for success if we hire the right coach. And you know what, even if we don’t hire the right coach, there is always a chance Tony doesn’t like MLB after 3 years and comes right back. Never say never.
