Does anyone actually have the "sidestep" response?

Of course you sidestep this question… unless Ten had already provided him with an extension, there is never a reason to not sidestep this question in his current position.

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.”

Supposedly they have. He just hasn't signed it.

Which means they made him an offer and he hasn’t accepted not that interesting. He knows he can get more from another school or UT if he waits.

Those people just wanted to pin the Tenn fans behavior on him. I've had no issues with his "attitude", and it would be a breathe of fresh air to have that at LSU.

You don’t know his reasons neither do I, but we will both know soon

I believe him when he says he hasn’t entertained the idea of other jobs but his agent is working every angle possible to milk the most money out of the deal.

You have to wonder if LSU has targeted TV, how long they will wait for an answer.
