The Tennessee Volunteers have one of the best college baseball coaches in the country in Tony Vitello. He has done well since taking over the Tennessee Volunteers program in 2018, as he currently has a 292-111 record (.725 winning percentage). However, people are wondering how his contract looks for the results of the team.
According to WBIR, Tony Vitello is earning a minimum of $1,612,000 this season and an extra $28,000 if the Vols can defeat the Texas A&M Aggies in the 2024 College World Series. The contract has a few different kickers, but it is simple to understand once it is broken down.
Vitello’s contract has a $350,000 base pay that he receives each season of his current contract. When the team officially punched their ticket to the College World Series, he was guaranteed a 32% bonus, adding $112,000 to his salary. If the team wins the College World Series, that 32% will jump to 40%.
