Before this weekend I saw a lot of positive comments. It looked like the majority of the rant would love the hire.

During the weekend after he threw many bitch fits, the comments seemed to be pretty negative and the majority looked like we didn't want Vitello.

After the series, it seems to be 50/50. Half the rant seems to respect that he is a very good coach and the other half seems to think he's a disrespectful cocky arse hat.

Personally, I would love the hire. He checks a lot of boxes for what I think LSU needs at this point. A young high energy coach that finds ways to motivate young adults. Yes, he does have some characteristics that make him seem unprofessional. However, I think the brand at LSU will help mold him into a more professional type manager.

Whiny bitch. Not mature enough for a job like LSU. His methods may work at upstart Tennessee, but his antics will get old quickly. Let’s see how handles continued success. It is real easy to coach with a underdog or never been there mentality. It is easier to coach as the hunter and not the hunted.

Also, Bill Franques was openly complaining about this guy during the radio broadcast...at one point during his antics stating “this guy is unbelievable”. Bill has a tremendous amount of respect in that department and to have that opinion speaks volumes about Vitello getting the job.

Do you think all the other volumes that have been posted about him are dishonest?

Alabama football will never hire Lane Kiffin to be head coach just like LSU baseball will never hire Tony Vitello to be head coach.

I think if you've read the comments people, myself included, have made about him, you already have your answer.

It's divided. I personally had him as my number one choice before, but find myself not really liking the guy. However, liking the next coach is not something I consider a prerequisite for being a good candidate. I would hope that if he comes here (which seems unlikely, at the moment), he'll grow up and act more like an adult rather than a pretentious gym trainer type.

I’ve never seen a coach whine and complain throughout a game as Vitello did and it was the same with his players. Any time they took a strike without swinging they would drop their heads or shake their heads.

Personally, I’d rather not have a huge titty baby as a head coach and watch our players behave like the Vols players did this past weekend.

If you coach your team well enough, there is no need to whine and cry about every call. You just go out and dominate and let your game speak for itself on the field.

You will not achieve that with Vitello.

If he has LSU gear on y’all would love him. And what’s up with all the disrespect and professional bullshite. You’re a bitch if you think tony is disrespectful. Dude has passion and enthusiasm. Something we lack. Dude just blanked us 5-0 this year I’m sure he doesn’t care what fans think! This is the same fan base that tigerbait anyone and start singing sttdb ????????. Man up bitches tony is the man. I hope he’s our coach and bring that fire and ready to die for our boys attitude

I think he's a good fit for the university of Tennessee. He may not translate well to Louisiana State U, but thankfully I don't have to make that decision.

I mean In fairness Nick Saban is a whinny bitch. Guess if Vitello can get us to the World Series and a title, we could live with as any school does with a whinny bitch of a coach.

Good coach but a douche bag. Good fit for an underdog mentality program like UT because they buy into it and feed off of it. Would not be a good fit at LSU.

His punkish ways aside, what accomplishments over how long a period of time best makes him a great candidate for what is still one of the best jobs in the country?

He has been a coach for 4 years and hasn’t won anything. Did anyone even know his name before this year or maybe last year?

If you want to crown him, crown him. I expect more out of this hire.

They're both right. I guess the question is that would we want him to be our disrespectful cocky arse hat.

The rant hates him after beating us so that means we should hire him
