Tony Vitello has had some great soundbites over the years as the head coach of Tennessee baseball. He’s been on Rocky Top for seven seasons and just brought the Vols their first national championship in program history while winning four SEC titles along the way.
He’s collected a career 295–112 (.725) record as Tennessee’s head coach on his way to winning his first national title. Vitello’s insanely quick rise to the top has attracted interest from other programs, who want to hire him as their next head coach.
