  1. “By now, you all know I officially accepted a position to babysit Drew Gilbert.”

  3. I think he’s right about the fading of the barrier between college and MLB. Skenes went from best pitcher in college baseball to best pitcher in pro baseball in less than 2 years. To have locked down such a fantastic leader who was a generational winner at the highest level of college baseball could be the best thing this for this org.

  4. Seems like a decent dude but I question his judgment on the appeal of Theo Von. Unless that part was said sarcastically.

  6. Welcome to 3rd & King Tony V. We welcome the Enthusiasm and Energy you
    will Bring with you. Hopefully it will translate into the Team’s DNA, and The Ballpark will be Rocking in October 2026⚾️⚾️⚾️⚾️⚾️👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

  8. He sounds folksy, humble, sad to be leaving, a guy who’s going to miss his friends and feels guilty about building the Vols program only to leave when they’ve got that new stadium. I’d say he knows in his heart what he’s doing is bringing college baseball to the big show, and he couldn’t say no to it because he can demonstrate for MLB fans just how high of a level college ball is at these days. He’s like their ambassador. And he’ll babysit Gilbert for us. 

  9. Drop the y’all. This is so poorly written was it meant to be published online? And his goal is to come back to Tennessee?

  15. Just shows you how classy Vitello is. He didn’t need to meet with the media at all, no one would have said anything if he didnt. But he genuinely respects those guys enough he wanted to give them, and the fanbase, one last heartfelt goodbye.

    Said part of what took a few days was him wanting to get the blessing from his coaches and players 🥲 and that they all supported him 100%

  16. He’ll have to manage the geopolitical SF atmosphere. Advice..just stay focused on the club.

  19. Seeing some of you start to turn on him before you even get to know him because he’s friends with Theo Von is sad. So you know what, go ahead, dislike him but when he turns our team around don’t start liking him then.

  20. I’m already seeing the sentiment but people are going to have to be okay with him being conservative. He’s a pretty private person, I don’t think you’ll ever hear about it. But hear him speak often enough and the people he name drops, along with spending most of his life in the south, he’s undoubtedly conservative. None of what he said was sarcasm. I think if you can root for Nick Bosa, Vitello will be fine.
