Coming after Vitello

[Ernest T. Vol]

Pay the man!

 

[volman128]

Wes can eat one. Everyone knows we’re going to have to up the ante to keep him here as long as we all want him to remain here but Wes writes it like he has one foot out the door already.

If Wes knew half as much as he thinks he does, he'd be a genius.

maybe Y9 can chime in or TXBO

I’m not much of an insider and I’m not a Scotch drinker.

I did have a nice conversation in Lafayette with Ragin’ Cajun football coach, Billy Napier today. I guess that might count for insider status at some point.

So did you convince him to come to Knoxville?

 

[txbo]

Probably

Probably on conference calls with the AD and coaches agents. They'll bring us to speed soon enough.

I have no contacts in the current administration. Last AD I spoke to was Doug Dickey.

So did you convince him to come to Knoxville?

Lol. No. I failed. He is a great guy though. I can see why he’s so successful. He’ll do much more in his career.

No doubt about it.

 

[txbo]

No doubt about it.

There are a lot of people in LA that still haven’t recovered from last year’s hurricane season. We were discussing what we could do to help. Great guy.

That’s nice, what did you all come up with?

 

[golfer89]

LSU next coach - Sully !!

 

[BruinVol]

LSU next coach - Sully !!

I don’t get this one. I don’t get why he’d say no to Texas but yes to LSU. I think he stays in florida

No solution yet but he’s never turned down a request to help the community yet.

There are thousand of modest houses that are still covered with blue tarps in Lake Charles. I’m told they can’t afford the deductible to fix them. I’ll probably ask him to do a few free spots so I can raise some awareness and money.

Sounds like a start, lots of stellar musicians down that way, would be glad to help out in any way I can.

Thanks a million. I’ll keep that in mind.

You a musician?

 

[CINCYVOL]

Vitello told Basilio that his assistants have turned down interviews and overtures from other schools. New facilities, and money for him and staff will go a long way. I honestly think he likes it at UT and likes the fans.

I wouldn’t take it that far.

BOURBON!!

 

[BreatheUT]

Which AD hired Vitello?

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Which AD hired Vitello?

John Currie

 

[Volfan1000]

John Currie

Getting Vitello for the baseball program was the best hire John Currie made as athletic director.

He also had Mike Leach on the hook.

 

[jasonvols2.2]

I will say this, the program is as popular as it has ever been.

Every 'Go Vols! I give in SC includes a baseball conversation. Every game is available on TV. Shoot, in 95, they were not even on FM radio.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Pay. The. Man.

 

[Volstylexx]

Tony on the phone for 10 mins. Everyone in the crowd rumbling : “ITS LSU”
