In 2011 – after eight years on staff at his alma mater, Missouri – Tony Vitello headed to TCU as an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator. He spent three seasons in Fort Worth under Jim Schlossnagle before leaving to Arkansas and, eventually, becoming the head coach at Tennessee.
Now in his sixth year with the Vols, Vitello did something no coach has done on Rocky Top since 1951 by taking the program to the College World Series final. Texas A&M awaits starting Saturday night in the third year of Schlossnagle’s tenure, and it means Vitello will go up against his former boss on the big stage.
