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.”



Looks like we have a new coach

Reading it made me more confident than watching it. I’m back to either way.

what did he actually say in the presser to sidestep?


More like, what did he not say, or what did he omit (intentionally)? He could have said something along the lines of a simple “yes, I will be back,” but he didn’t.

Vitello says he hasn't had any communication with LSU


Actually, if you listen to his response, he said that he “has not had zero”, in reference to communication with LSU. Which of course means that he has had some communication. I’m sure he screwed up what he was trying to say, but funny nevertheless.

It looks like he's reading something when answering that question.

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.


Like Saban did at the Capital One Bowl......

Why are people reading into this? It’s a non story. Coaches don’t and won’t talk about anything else especially at his press conference.

If he indeed intended to return, “Yes, I will be back at the University of Tennessee” is a very simple answer that would make his players and staff feel better about next season, but it was something he omitted. Why?
