Vitello Will Not Leave Tennessee. . .

[Christian Lowe]

But what’s make him connected to these “sources” he claims about Vitello leaving?

No clue. Just willing to bet he knows more than you

 

[Catbone]

You might actually be more of a Nega-Vol than Bruin, and that is saying something. Congratulations.

Ahem

Doesn't know more than me, I'll bet on it. I'll bet you're wrong about almost everything you post. I'll meet you in person as well and have a beer.

Did Vitello sign the contract extension offered by AD White?

After season.

No, a graduate and a realist.

Reality is not ALWAYS pessimistic, so you are no realist. And anyone can say they are a graduate. How can a graduate of a school ALWAYS say negative things about it? What is your agenda?

Uh thanks I guess

LSU would not let a deal NOT go through over 120K. (edited with caps)

Then you add federal income tax and see just how much more the LSU deal would need to be.

Federal income tax is going to be the same in TN as it is in LA, isn't it?

LA has a state income tax

Yes. Point is there’s a lot taken out before you get the final tally. We’re not even mentioning what his agent takes. In the end, a few 100 k is moot.

He acknowledged that. He thinks they’ll just slap another 125 k on top. I don’t think that makes a difference.

looks to be a lot more than that

If LSU slaps 125,000 on to the paycheck, Tennessee will just slap another 125,000 as well. If the salary really all TV cares about (which I doubt it is), Tennessee isn't going to let him walk over 125,000.

He covers baseball for volquest and is Swain’s co-host. He does good work but I doubt he has sources. I’m not saying TV is staying because I have no idea, but I think McKee has BVS with this right now.

He said this yesterday when he phoned in for a last minute interview with Knox sports and they asked him repeatedly If he had connections regarding this. He repeatedly said NO that it was just a feeling. Everyone got all worked up over the crap being posted at Tiger droppings and it’s nothing more than click bait. LSU is going to get the last laugh. They’ll get the coach they were targeting the whole time (not Vitello) and will then berate TN fans on twitter for the next year on how they started rumors to distract the team because they hate us so much.

This feels a whole lot like a typical Tennessee coaching search, where we are convinced it's THIS GUY that has his name all over the media as the favorite to land the job, only for the AD to go in a completely different direction that no one expected. Smoke & mirrors.

So they want us to believe our coach has been holding out since mid-season “in good faith” to LSU’s AD. Yah, ok. Some people are so damn gullible.

 

[VOL_Lyfe]

You'll never be happy, either.

Untrue - you can only be pleasantly surprised

Vitello apparently wants to negotiate in good faith with the LSU AD but not our own AD.....

Higher.

It will be around $3m. 2.6+

You’re out of your ****ing mind if you think Tennessee will pay a baseball coach that much. We don’t even pay football coaches that much lmfao

Trying to catch up while at work so I haven’t read every post. Are you saying we offered him that much and are confirming that LSU made him offer during the CWS also?
