The Tennessee Volunteers are still awaiting the decision of their head baseball coach Tony Vitello. That decision being the most important decision that Tennessee athletics has seen in recent time.
The Tennessee Vols baseball team is led by Vitello, but maybe not for much longer. Vitello is one of the better college coaches and that has led to him being contacted by multiple different teams in the MLB. One of the teams that caught the attention of Vitello is the San Francisco Giants, who recently was in the middle of reports about Vitello leaving to the MLB.

He has been in attendance for the last three days, but at the same time, that doesn’t mean he is exactly confirmed to be staying.
