It was one heck of a ride, Coach.   Congratulations to Tony Vitello, making history as the first collegiate head coach to move directly to MLB manager.

The wait is over. Tony Vitello is San Francisco bound. I discuss the move, the first candidates being mentioned, and what this means for San Francisco and Tennessee moving forward. Thank you, Tony Vitello! youtu.be/5OmUIB2Ntkc

If there is anything said about Tony Vitello outside of “Thank you!” From Vol Nation it is wrong. Tony Vitello worked Miracles and transformed this program in a timeline nobody could have dreamed of. REAL ONES KNOW.

It's Nov. 1, 2014. The San Fransisco Giants have won three of the last five World Series. Imagine telling yourself that in 11 years they would be hiring Tennessee baseball's head coach as their next manager. What a world.

OFFICIAL: It’s Tony Vitello time ✍️

Tony Vitello received a considerable raise in taking the San Francisco Giants job. He was making $3 million annually at Tennessee.

Former Vol Maui Ahuna talks about how excited he was to hear the Tony Vitello news. The #SFGiants’ No. 12 prospect gives some insight as to what players can expect from their new skipper.

Wait! What the heck?!

It’s quite an easy decision to make. Josh Elander should be the next coach at Tennessee Baseball . He’s not only a stand up man but a huge part of the programs development and success!

The Ace 🤝 The Skipper

Voice of the Baseball Vols John Wilkerson (John Wilkerson) shares his thoughts on Tony Vitello making the historic jump to the big leagues: "From the moment he was introduced as Tennessee's head coach he had a vision for this program, and he hit every mark." #Vols

The choice is easy, DW. Make it happen.

Coming 🔜 to Oracle Park

Here’s what’s being forgotten about this whole coaching change. No matter who the new coach is, the new guy is going to inherit a team full of bad dudes who are very capable of winning it all again. Tennessee baseball is going to be fine.

The search to find Tony Vitello's replacement is in full swing. One candidate has been confirmed for an interview and a list has been put out of other sitting coaches that Tennessee might potentially interview. I discuss the latest in this video. youtu.be/nP_rJlBF9AA

The choice was easy and the decision was smart. Josh Elander is the 26th head coach of the Tennessee Vols baseball program. I discuss the hire, what this tells us about the rumors, and what I feel things will look like in this video. youtu.be/jBasMxgqc74

Josh Elander sent a video to former Tennessee players when he was hired as the Vols coach. Elander told the players that this doesn't happen without them, that they built the program and that he loves them. That is who Tennessee hired as its next coach.

The hunt continues...

No one should have ever doubted this guy.
