Every year Vitello’s team has one of the best and deepest lineups in the country. Yes CJJ assembled a great team last year, but 2 of his 3 years at LSU offensive has been lacking. While at Arizona his offenses weren’t exactly nationally recognized.

Tennessee should have a dominant offense every year with that ballpark. Just looking at numbers is not fair. Of course they’d be better this year in any ballpark, but the point still stands.

Vitello has taken TN to the CWS twice
first time they went 0-2 they lost to Viginia and Texas
second time they went 1-2, they beat Stanford and lost 2 games to LSU

his record at TN in Omaha is 1 win 4 losses

in 6 years as the TN head coach he has 2 CWS appearances..give Jay 6 years at LSU and see where he is

Jay in his second year in 2023 at LSU led the team 6-2 (6 wins, 2 losses), and a NC at Omaha

give Jay a while to get his recruits to campus before you compare, but he already has 6X as many wins in Omaha at LSU ;)

Huh? His teams at Arizona led the Pac 12 in batting average 4 of the 5 full seasons he coached there.

His 2021 team was top 10 in the country in BA, runs scored, slugging and several other offensive categories.

In 2021, LSU’s team BA finished 8th in the SEC.

In Jay’s first year, 2022, LSU’s team BA finished tied for 2nd in the SEC.

What the actual frick are you talking about?

Maybe but JJ is better at winning national titles. Which do you prefer?

Saying which coach is “better” among elite coaches is getting so old. Jay has done much more in his career than Vitello. With that being said, Vitello is still an elite coach and anyone who says otherwise is just fooling themselves.

i love how people just want to completely dismiss 1 of his 2 years.

what was wrong with the offense his first year? offenses weren't exactly lighting it up during cpm later years were they?

kind of impressive they won so much then. btw i believe both times he advanced to the cws he had to go through sec teams.

again if you play at a park like tenn's you probably will lead in offensive stats. how has any of that worked out for vitello in omaha?

Regardless, there is no excuse for CJJ to not even make the SEC tournament lead along the NCAA tournament

This a worn out argument. Just stop.

Has Vitello won a NC? Come even close in Omaha?

Truth be told, take away what was already here and what we bought last year, Johnson’s talent evaluation in 3 years has proven to be garbage.
