Saw this on the college baseball subreddit. Don’t know how accurate this info is, not that it tells us much that we don’t know.. but thought it was interesting enough to share.
“My theory on Vitello is his personality will determine his path. I’m friends with Knoxville media guys from college so I’ve learned a little inside info. Tennessee is prepared to make him the highest paid coach in college baseball, and set to allocate an obscene amount of money to modernizing Lindsey Nelson stadium. So.. money won’t be an issue.
He can either choose to be essentially the pat summit of Tennessee baseball, which is admittedly a more difficult task. But he’d probably have the stadium named after him eventually. That’s not a stretch, our history is just that bad besides the Todd Helton years.
Or, he can go to LSU and step into a tailor made for success situation and have a great legacy, sure.. but he’ll never be THE guy at LSU. You’ll always be in Skip’s shadow. So it all comes down to what he wants out of his career.”
