Good luck to CTV going up against my Dodgers.

 

[VolGirl81]

If this is true, we have to beat Bama tonite or could be a very bad day or the worst ever in Vol land

 

[Gilbert]

I will root for the Giants to lose every game.

I think you gotta pull for him and hope he’s uber successful. If not, he’s at Arkansas or somewhere like that in a few years.

TV is a great coach he’s built the Vols baseball program that being said I’m not sure I have much confidence they hire a good coach

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Mike Wilson reporting that Tony was literally scrimmaging with the team as the news broke. Bet the players took that well.

 

[BARknox bouncer]

Lmao back to the basement

 

[Tnphil]

Just surprised they'd take a coach with no MLB experience.

Good Luck

I have complete faith in AD Danny White hiring a great replacement...

I can’t. I’m too broken. I’ve never loved a Tennessee coach in any sport as much as I loved Tony. I will never recover from this.

If this was leaked early, whoever did that is a POS. Hope it blows up on them. Would assume Tony would have liked to talk to his team first. Would hope also the choice wasn’t Tony’s to let it out of the bag on TSIO

 

[VolGirl81]

Thats not a denial

 

[VolFan_stuck_in_the_901]

I have complete faith in AD Danny White hiring a great replacement...

If Tony leaves, Elander will be the replacement

Tennessee coach Tony Vitello says 'nothing is done' with San Francisco Giants manager job​

Mike Wilson
Knoxville News Sentinel

Tony Vitello is a candidate for the San Francisco Giants manager position, but the Tennessee baseball coach does not have a deal in place with the Giants.

"Nothing is done," the Vols coach told Knox News on Oct. 18.

Vitello said he does not have an offer from the Giants at this time.

The Vols held a fall scrimmage on Oct. 18 at Lindsey Nelson Stadium. Vitello addressed his team in right field following the scrimmage and openly discussed the reports that he is set to be the Giants' next manager.

Vitello led the Vols to their first national title, winning the 2024 College World Series in one of UT's three trips to Omaha in his historic tenure. He also coached Tennessee to two SEC regular-season titles and two SEC Tournament titles, sweeping the crowns in both 2022 and 2024.

He would be replacing Bob Melvin as the Giants' manager. Melvin was fired on Sept. 29 after two seasons. He went 161-163 with an 81-81 mark in the 2024 season.

Vitello is 341–131 in eight seasons at Tennessee.

This is going to suck!

Devastating loss for the program. Can only hope Danny White has been contingency planning with all the success Tony has had

 

[Vols919]

I'm going to walk into traffic.

I can’t. I’m too broken. I’ve never loved a Tennessee coach in any sport as much as I loved Tony. I will never recover from this.

Good. You don't deserve to recover from this. You're posting like a frantic emotional teenage girl. Embarrassing yourself

Elander will take over if Tony V leaves; the only questions is how much of a drop off we have

 

[Christian Lowe]

I’m tired of being on the losing side of “first to ever”
