Vitello Will Not Leave Tennessee. . .

Something wrong with some of y'all over here.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Yeah, we aren’t paying him that much.

I'll apologize if I'm wrong. Will you?

 

[Christian Lowe]

I'll apologize if I'm wrong. Will you?

if he gets 2.7 million a year here, i will buy you tickets to the next super regional we host

 

[landscapingvol]

So are you.

There was no football playoff or uniform model prior to the BCS, I am merely listing facts that Alabama is this undisputed king of football and the only baseball program in the same stratosphere as Bama football is Texas or USC and that is a stretch. They each won multiple titles in multiple decades but again that doesn’t fit your agenda

 

[GhostVol]

My friend has no finger in this pie. I can only tell you our administration donor and AD alignment are the best they’ve been in decades. Anyone who thinks we’ll let go of TV easily has lost it. The guy is really excited about building a legacy that includes putting his stamp on culture, brand and facility development. It would take a lot to get him to leave. At LSU, he can walk in Bertman’s shadow, but never top it. At UT, he can be our Bertman. As for traditition, LSU had an undeniably stellar run under one of the best coaches ever, but it’s hard to call that a “tradition”, at least not in the way we might discuss Kentucky or UCLA basketball or Notre Dame or Alabama football. Typically college baseball success runs in streaks. Momentum for a school can be built in under five years, as TV has proven. Ultimately if he’s offered, he’ll make the decision based on a long list of unknowns and knowns. That said, the guy loves our university, our town, his players, and his support network. He won’t dismiss that easily.

If I could like this a 100x I would....

Some folks aren't governed solely by money. It's great and all that, and it's better to have it than not but, once you've reached a certain level (what that level is is different for each person) you start thinking about things like "legacy".

TV can do that here. Can't at LSU.

This is about as dumb a take as the “Grumors”. “Why doesn’t the AD or Gruden address the rumors”? Maybe because all of this is nothing more than pure conjecture and message board rumors and an AD worth his job doesn’t address baseless rumors

Maybe so, but the Gruden saga was more than just message boards. With any self-awareness, Currie could have had Gruden's agent float that he had no interest. Instead he used it as a smokescreen to hire Greg Schiano.

You probably aint got a real job and if you do, I don't want it. Thank you though. Why don't you just come hang out with me in Knoxville?

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Boys. It is done!

I wish I didn’t have a real job.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

I wish I didn’t have a real job.

I don't and I'm glad I don't. I did work hard to sit on my ass though. Why don't you just come have dinner with me and my old lady one night, if you're free? You'll see why I know what I know.

Use some of your voodoo magic to get blade to stop throwing balls

Well, wish I had voodoo, damn guarantee id use it right now. All I know is to scream "GO VOLS" and hope the big man hears.

 

[NighthawkVol]

Boys. It is done!

Does this mean we’ll get an announcement soon that TV has been retained to make us feel better about this loss?

Yes. Offer has been made. LSU apparently countered. UT offered to make him 1st or 2nd highest paid coach in baseball. Tony asked for extra for his assistants and UT also offered to that request as well. The ball is on Tony's court. And I do have some inside info.

So is LSU countering again? Lol.

 

[Rushin Orange Collusion]

1. He cant repair 20 years of neglecting baseball in 6 months. LSU is ready made for success.

2. Money and facilities talk. If he was so loyal he wouldn't have left TCU for a lateral job at Arkansas.

3. Knoxville is a better town than Baton Rouge.. But our baseball complex isn't

4. again, money talks.

I respectfully disagree except I agree with your “socialism sucks” moniker. The tide for Tennessee is turning.

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

Both have pending offers

 

[pcollins141]

Both have pending offers

Are they practically the same offer?

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

Are they practically the same offer?

Very close. Only difference is UT raising money for facility and LSU is already there

 

[pcollins141]

At this point all you can say is it’s in his hands and we will see his loyalty. He has stated he is loyal so let’s see. Either way heck of a season. When will the decision be made?

I don't expect it got any further than this week.
