How many championships to get Tony Vitello statue?

[chuckiepoo]

I would be ok with one now and renaming the field after him as well when the renovations are completed. Not many, if any could take over an SEC team that finished 7th in the east, and missed Hoover the year prior in one of the worst stadiums in the country and turn it around in 3 years. And not only turn it around, but did it while have no head coaching experience at the college level at all. He is already the best coach in UT history after only finishing his 6th full season.

…I’d guess he weighs more than a duck…

He just won the very first national championship in program history and broke the #1 seed curse. The statue needs to go up ASAP.

Nah, boo. Tony is all about staying gritty and playing relaxed. I make zero demands for dat golden calf. Hopefully, at some point in the future, the world demands that it be so.

Start putting the statue up tomorrow.

Saban‘s statue looks creepy. Would the university want a Tony V statue if he wins more national championships? View attachment 655821View attachment 655822View attachment 655824View attachment 655825

I’d say one more Natty.. I just hope the statue has the fur coat and the daddy hat.

I'd give him a statue now. He's taken us to heights never dreamed of before in Tennessee baseball.

I agree hundred percent. He’s also turned down Texas and LSU. He’s a Tennessee hero.

Peyton didn’t even win a NC and it wasn’t that long after they left UT that they both got their streets.

Much of that is what he did for his 4+ years and his pro career. Tee was in 2021. so three years after. Just saying instant pudding isn't always better than on the farm stuff.

They gave Peyton a street just one year after his graduation.

If the powers that be want to give Vitello a street, so be it, streets can easily be renamed. A statue however requires a more long term legacy of accomplishment. TV isn't there yet.

2 with plenty of SEC championships and regular visits to Omaha.

Whenever Tony wants it. Myself I’d find it creepy to see a statue of myself going to work. I think right now he’d rather see LNS filled with raucous rabid Vols every game.

Statue of Tony kissing the bat?

I was thinking one of Corbin and Van Horn kissing Tony’s ass.

Has to be more than one title.

3 titles would be the minimum for a statue in my opinion.

4×18 stamped metal sigh...

 

[DaddyChad]

Remind me again when did Neyland and Summitt get theirs?


And why the heck you ever post pictures of a statue of Sabin on VN?

That bronzed midget is going to haunt my dreams.

 

[GleasonVol]

I am good with a bust now.

The bama coach statue has been a long tradition that every coach that won a natty gets one, I do think eventually we see a couple player statues, probably could add a Todd Helton one outside the RF gate next year, maybe in 10-15 years a Christian Moore statue somewhere, once he retires we may name the stadium or field after vitello and he will at least get a road in his name

This will help, if not hum a few bar of Rocky Top or Fight Vols, Fight always helps me

Not to mention the best looking.

I’ll defer to your expertise here.

Lol. I'm an old woman. UT had no Tony Vs in my younger years, not that he'd have given me a glance even if they had.

It’s perfectly fine to acknowledge that our coach is a handsome man CP, we all know it!

Ok, but admitting you have panties is the first step
