Vitello was asked directly if he planned to be the head coach at Tennessee next season, and he didn’t provide a direct answer to that question, choosing instead to say he’s owed it to his players and assistants and Tennessee’s administration and fans to keep every bit of his focus on his current team


quote:
“You know, I just made an idiot out of myself, at least for all the masculine folks watching, by getting teary-eyed about these kids, and that's where my focus has been,” Vitello said. “So like I said, the social life hasn't been existent for quite some time, well before our Opening Day game, and a part of that is I want to do as good of a job as I can for the school that gave me a chance, and I want to do as good of a job I can for a group that we thought could go pretty far. And then, you know, the way the season evolved, like I said, these emotions are certainly not fake. I don't know if it's embarrassing or not, but it's coming from a place where that's my No. 1 concern, is these guys. “Now I'll go back to the room, and anyone who knows me, it'll be bad, how much I critique myself, and it hurts. So I'm certainly not gonna waste energy before a game or any other game having regrets that, you know, my mind wasn't right, or we weren't prepared the right way to go into whatever game it might be.”

You don’t remember what happened with Miles to Michigan? It’s not much but at-least he didn’t shoot down the possibility like Miles had to.

Edit: It’s a sign he might come here, but nothing close to a certain sign. If he came out and said I’ll be the coach next season at Tennessee he would have shot it down. So it is news.

in coach speak, "I haven't had any communication," or "this is my dream job and would never consider anyplace else!" it usually means they're bolting
