Coach Q to the Giants

[Gilbert]

Keegan Knoll from the Milwaukee Brewers is the new strength coach.

 

[Sam I Am]

Well.........crap. Q was vital. Hope Mr. Knoll will become vital too!

 

[txbo]

I had a feeling that would happen. Good luck Coach Q.

Elander works fast.

Worked for the Cubs, do not want.

.... kind of starting to hate the Giants a little bit (the organization, not Tony)

 

[chuckiepoo]

So there was at least a brief crossing of paths with Q:

“Vitello originally hired Eberhardt in October 2017 after spending eight years in professional baseball. Eberhardt was Tennessee Baseball's Director of Sports Performance from 2018-21 before he returned to fill the same position in July 2022 after one year as the head strength and conditioning coach for the Chicago Cubs.”

Dang. I had a lot of hope after nearly a month went by that we had weathered the storm and kept Q. That’s a huge loss. Tony needs to buzz off and leave us alone!! Ha. Hire someone else.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Oh no…..Kendall Rodgers saying Tony is trying to take Frank as well.

Tony, stop it man!!!

A lot of people close to the program have said that Frank has talked about retiring here and not wanting to go anywhere else.

Q doesn't shock me, Frank would.

 

[VolFan_stuck_in_the_901]

I halfway expected Q to follow Tony given how much they've worked together, but if Tony takes Frank, he's dead to me.

 

[ETNVolunteer1]

I had originally heard Q was staying put but this move doesn’t surprise me. Now, Frank, would shock me.

 

[TennesseeFan07]

Saw this one coming.

According to McKee on a mini pod he dropped:

Q has been looking to get into more of an “administrative” role for awhile now and the Giants are offering that. He thinks he’ll be in more of a front office role (like Head of Strength/Nutrition kind of thing), than everyday strength coach role.

He also thinks Sean McCann is going to join Tony

 

[Christian Lowe]

Damn so staff continuity may actually end up being basically no one lol

 

[VolFan_stuck_in_the_901]

Like I'm actually getting pre-pissed at the thought of Frank leaving

Linkie? I’m assuming Frank was not mentioned.

This one was expected. Everyone close to the program figured he would go with Tony.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Tony, man. Don’t make me dislike you. I thought we had a chance to basically roll forward with this thing in mostly the same shape, but if Sean McCann and Frank also go with Q, Tony basically took a wrecking ball to the program he built on the way out the door. That’s not cool.

If Josh, Tony, Frank and Danny are all tending to business, we should be fine. Frank’s career has an expiration date.

Frank isn't gonna babysit those million dollar San FranSicko head cases. He'll retire from Tennessee I.M.O.
