Don’t think that’s fair to McDonnell to compare them. McDonnell has proven himself, vitello has a very good team that will very likely be in Omaha, but a lot of coaches have had vitello’s resume right now and gone on to do nothing.
Not that I don’t believe in vitello, or that I wouldn’t want him as our head coach.

The company line here is that he doesn’t have the resume or results and is therefore a risk. Like he would make us worse.
Him just simply saying no or Tennessee paying him isn’t a “risk” to your program, that’s just a reason you may not get him.

I’ve had more than one person tell me, including someone that works at Tennessee, that’s he waiting for the Arkansas job to open up when Van Horn retires.

2 regionals in 4, 1 host. Isn’t exactly the hardest resume to find.

They were made quite recently when it was fairly obvious the LSU job was going to be open after the season. And TBH I don’t even think he is on Woodward’s short list right now.

I might be reaching here, but I think it’s possible that Vitello rubs some the wrong way. Of course there was the publicized blow up with Van Horn, and during our series with Tenn, CPM made a comment about their dugout not being very classy. Not saying I agree with it because I like Vitello’s fire, but I can see some coaches and AD’s not taking kindly to a young shite talker who has yet to win anything of significance.

Did I touch a nerve or something? Dude just started coaching. Hasn’t done anything yet. Not his fault, you are defending the guy like I said something bad about him.

I'm just saying if people are dead set on him as being the one and only choice they're likely to be disappointed.

The number of people who dismiss him because of ____ seems to far outnumber the people who think he is the only choice.

McDonell was basically Vitello back in 2006. Left OM as an assistant, took the HC job at Louisville, and went on to win division title after division title at a Basketball school.....Texas came calling and UL paid up.....MSST came calling and he sent them an assistant.
The more I read on this guy, the more I’m convinced he’s actually the perfect hire. He needs a bigger platform such as LSU to truly be Elite.

ETA: You need to get those resumes/names in right now because after Tennessee wins tomorrow it’s going to be even more difficult for you to find matches.

McDonnell would command more than vitello. I don’t think money is an issue if o Sullivan is the first name you hear

Univ of Papa Johns isn't going to roll over and let McConnell leave without throwing more money at him. Could explain the 2.4 mil offer by Woodward if true.

Lol I don’t owe you anything. Flashes in the pan happen. I’m just saying 2 regionals in 4 years doesn’t prove he is the same as coaches with many CWS on their resume.
