Tony Vitello to SF Giants (Merged )

[Legion of Doom]

If true: this is absolutely devastating, and I am very sad, but I ask this board to try not show any bitterness. He’s making a very understandable decision, and I really can’t fault any coach for wanting to get out of college athletics in this day and age.

Thanks for everything, Tony. Good luck in the bigs. We’ll miss you, big man.

Yeah nothing but best wishes and thank yous. Was Elander big in recruiting?

 

[VolNate]

Congrats, CTV. Gonna miss you but thank you for making me interested in baseball again.

 

[Legion of Doom]

Goodbye to that recruiting class.

Maybe not. Elander could have been big in recruiting.

Not buying it.

Noooooo

 

[Titans4Vols]

Guess we now find out if Elander is worth all the hype he's received in recent years.

 

[LegionnaireOfTheMiserable]

What am I missing why was Oct 18 a dark day for our sports?

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

i wish this was april fools day

 

[CAVPUT]

This can't be real. Just can't.

Wow didn’t know that.

 

[Legion of Doom]

I hate it but wish him the best. Now get Elander locked in with multi year deal and pull vac in the players.

 

[Ovol]

Think he wont take Elander with him?

 

[TAF]

You can't BLAME him...it's the Pinnacle of Coaching baseball...

I think head man at UT pays more and is a better gig

[VolsSportsFan]

I get the emotional attachment to TV, but from a purely unbiased professional standpoint this is a no brainer.

 

[DazzleVol]

Does the three bars of tape stay?

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Can't blame him for leaving but what a terrible day to release this news. Wow couldn't have waited another day??

No, our suffering must always be significant

 

[Vol737]

No bitterness at all towards TV. He did a fantastic job with this program. The man is still young enough and has goals. I hope he wins multiple World Series.

 

[Orange931]

My goodness. If the football team loses tonight, this will go down as one of the worst days in Vol history. Hell, Top 3 all time.

he’s gone, it just leaked before he wanted it to

 

[THEONLYTENISEE]

Yeah, promoting Elander seems like the obvious call (unless he goes to SF too)

He’s got too many young kids. He would never see them with than kind of traveling.

 

[moon823]

Well ****…wish it was at least the Braves
