The one thing that Tennessee has had to crow about in recent years just went pro…
Why does he look like he has a gun being held to his head? The whole thing was orchestrated by Jimmy Sexton, and Vitelli becomes the first college coach to head to the majors without stints at the minor leagues. There’s a catch though.
Meanwhile, there’s coaching issues in Hogtown beyond football right now…
Should be an interesting spring on the diamond, no?
Smart play by Vitelo. Go catch a few years in the Bigs, get fired (because they all do), and then return to take over at Arkansas when his mentor retires.
Supposedly a big part of this is that he and Danny White don’t get along and some NIL budget is being shifted away from baseball to the women’s basketball program.
Vitello is an asshole.
Next level assholiness doesn’t meet this assholes standard for how assholes conduct themselves, while speaking through your asshole, in an attempt to convince the world they are truly a stand alone, award winning asshole…
Sublime……..
He’ll be perfect the the Braves Hating Battery Chuckers by the Bay
What does a MLB manager really do these days? It’s my understanding that all the batters and pitchers play or are trained to play based on analytics. I realize you have to manage the clubhouse but does a guy with no MLB experience have any cache with the players?
Good question. As far as I can tell, making sure the GM’s wishes are being fulfilled (which is often making everyone use the “right” analytics) and that clubhouse vibes are good.
Based on Brian Snitker, sit around and watch the bullpen tank the efforts of starting pitchers…
In that photo from the Giants, their new manager reminds me of the character actor Tracey Walter. Might as well post this … https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vRJ5cCP0ZPE
I follow zero baseball of any kind, but the Sullivan case is intriguing. Sounds like he’s either got a drinking problem that’s gotten out of hand or his wife found out he was banging someone from his workplace, either a staff member or a student.
“Personal matters” is rarely if ever not some self-inflicted issue. Once in a while it’s a true out of your control health problem but in this arena is it almost always as you described.

Just a reminder of what’s going on down there with their baseball coach.
Sure makes my problems seem pretty insignificant.
