Sources: Tennessee's Tony Vitello favorite to land Giants job
The Giants have zeroed in on University of Tennessee baseball coach Tony Vitello for their managerial opening, sources confirmed to ESPN.

I feel like he’s the Mombi in Return to Oz and switches faces at will
I really appreciate Will Clark for planting the seeds in the Giants organization to hire Vitello. Real solid work here. He’s a true dawg!
Damn you were early on this one. How is the Cheetah Lounge these days?
Would love more background on this one.
Just seems like an odd choice. Could work out of course, but there had to be far more qualified candidates.

rumblins were immediate on this one like when I have that gas station chili
Bad move. There is no bigger difference in the college and pro games than in baseball.
I do think there's some things you can learn in MLB that can help you in college, but not much the other way around.

He can take the SF job, double his pay for a 3-4 years, and then comeback to take over the Arkansas program after DVH retires. It's a great move on his part.
IF he takes the job, it wont be a pay cut. It would make zero sense to take a pay cut and move to a state with crazy high taxes in a city that's ridiculously expensive. That's just not going to happen unless he truly hates being in Knoxville.
I think if you had a guy winning multiple national titles somewhere like USM, yeah you could maybe make the argument that he might do well in MLB.
But Vitello is just a dude who did well at a Top 1% school in college baseball. Won big by having way more talent than just about everyone in the postseason, and had more talent than most in the regular season too. He won’t have those same advantages in MLB.
I mean Tennessee was an awful program pre-Vitello. Had not made the NCAAT in over a decade. He built them from scratch.
Pro ball certainly different though, I agree on that.
