And Tony V is officially gone.

[NighthawkVol]

I get it’s a super cursory look but this is pretty damning IMO

You can’t be this stupid. You just can’t be.

 

[MontyPython]

Unfortunately, it appears the magic of 'Heup" is fading fast.

Fickle fans.

When we win the NCAA in football in the next 3 years, you'll be like "he da man!"

 

[DC_Vol]

Danny White is the best thing to happen to UT athletics in decades. What a fickle fanbase we have.

 

[lukeneyland]

You can’t be this stupid. You just can’t be.

You think spending that much on damn girls sports is acceptable?

 

[Rocky Top T]

They’re delusional. Tony isn’t coming back to the college game. If things don’t work out in San Francisco he will get a position coach job with another MLB team and try his luck again.

If he doesn't do good in MLB, he will be back in college in 3-4 years, book it.

No, Donde Plowman and Randy Boyd are the best thing to happen at Tennessee

I don't see him wanting to leave something knowing he failed. That's not in Tony Vitello's DNA

How do you think Van Lith is going to do at Tennessee?

 

[vol66]

Is CTV taking Frank too?

If ADDW kills the baseball program through sheer hubris and chants of "Fire Danny" start raining down at Neyland and TBA, then they will be the ones having to make the call

 

[volmanjr]

I didn’t say baseball is going down the tube. And even if it does I’m still watching. My issue with Danny is that I’ve long resented how he’s diverted funds away from football to subsidize the women and now he’s done it to baseball. (Been doing it) It’s inexcusable that he didn’t keep Jacobe Thomas this past season. I’d much rather pay him than the useless girls team

if you had a daughter playing for UT would you have the same opinion? Lady Vols are pretty important to a lot of people

 

[tbwhhs]

Hailey Van Lith never went to UT. She played for Louisville, LSU, and played her final year at TCU. That alone would make me question the accuracy of the whole thing.

 

[onevol74]

Screw Danny White. That bastard just killed our Baseball program for women’s basketball. Unbelievable

Drama Queens are alive and well on Volnation!!!

 

[UTK]

As if that was a hard thing for us to do. Any competent AD would have done that. The fact that his buyout is only 3 million is also a joke

If you want us to go back to sucking in most major sports, by all means hate on Danny White. Go ahead lmao

 

[lukeneyland]

How do you think Van Lith is going to do at Tennessee?

I know the broad doesn’t play here. The relevant part was at the bottom

 

[UTK]

i talked to a buddy who lives in arkansas, and the people around there believe that if tony goes to the giants, he will be arkansas's coach in three years or less

Arkansas fans are the most delusional on the planet. So no surprise

 

[UT_VOLS13]

According to Bob Neigtengal reports he is taken a pay cut to come manage the Giants

 

[lukeneyland]

If you want us to go back to sucking in most major sports, by all means hate on Danny White. Go ahead lmao

White has nothing to do with the success of 2/3 major sports. Again I’ll give him credit for Heupel

 

[UTK]

Just plain ignorant. And you’re ignorant for claiming 3 major sports. Women’s basketball has always been and will always be a bigger deal than college baseball. Sorry bud

 

[Boston Vol]

Make the call? No athletic director at Tennessee will ever lose their job over the success of the baseball program.

 

[EZE]

Okay when Texas A&M came calling with a huge contract, who was it that made Tony V the highest paid coach in the country? ITS AN MLB FRANCHISE. It’s not like he’s going to Arkansas or some ****. Lmfao

Some people cannot fathom that coaching in The Show is an entirely different level (really, planet) than coaching in college at Tennessee.

This is akin to a high school football coaching moving straight up to the SEC.

 

[landscapingvol]

Rough week to be a Vols fan for sure.

Life is full of choices and sometimes you make stupid ones, this is a stupid one. His motivation style will not translate to the major leagues which is a completely different animal much like the NFL. I wish him the best but this was dumb

 

[landscapingvol]

i talked to a buddy who lives in arkansas, and the people around there believe that if tony goes to the giants, he will be arkansas's coach in three years or less

They are probably correct, most MLB managers rarely last more than 3-4 years, even good ones

 

[Rocky Top T]

Just plain ignorant. And you’re ignorant for claiming 3 major sports. Women’s basketball has always been and will always be a bigger deal than college baseball. Sorry bud

Not since Tony V arrived.

 

[Coyote]

As a Vol, I’m disappointed. As a lifelong Dodger fan, I’m not that upset. Not sure his style will work in the show if the Giants don’t go with a big youth movement/total rebuild but who knows
