Vitello loves it in Knoxville and has a lot of power and leverage right now. School already announced to make him one of the highest paid coaches in the country, on top of renovating and expanding LNS while building a brand new stadium down town that the Vols will play SEC games in.

Then why hasn’t he signed the deal?

Vitello will literally do whatever he can to disrupt the flow of the game if his team is losing. He argues every call, he will complain about the opposing pitchers uniform or glove strings, etc
He’s a really good coach, but his antics get extremely aggravating. Having said that, that’s his goal. To get in the opponent’s head and disrupt their momentum.
We don’t like it because we have to deal with it. It’s especially frustrating when our coach is sitting in the dugout staring off into space.
It’s funny to me so many of the posters on the board don’t like a coach bc they think he’s a douche. I didn’t realize having “a nice guy” as the coach was that important. I’ll take the coaches who win championships and don’t give a shite if they are assholes or not, but maybe I’m just not appreciative of the kinder gentler mentality of the new generation.

So when a coach turns you down it’s all of sudden LSU don’t want. Lol. Sully turned it down, Casey interviewed and looks like that won’t happen either and Schloss not available also. I would say your your working on your 4th choice now.
Dude, you're a UT fan, pretending to be in touch with what's going on with the LSU coaching search. O'Sullivan was rejected by the LSU board. He had nothing to reject, and half the fanbase (myself included) never wanted him and were vocal about it from the get go. I already mentioned Schlossnagle, who was never reported as the top choice. And Casey is retired, and the reports that he was a top candidate were erroneous.
LSU will be pursuing McDonnell from Louisville, Corbin from Vandy, your coach, Godwin at ECU, and many others, because LSU is a destination job that a lot of people will be interested in. Because we're a baseball school. We can also afford an actual baseball field. Pretty cool, right?

Because the season isn’t over. When the season is over it will get done.

Moment was too BIG for him. You could see it in his mannerisms. He was losing his mind on a check swing no strike call. Really?!
There is a fine line btwn fighting for your team and being a D!!K head. Saw way too much of that on the AAU circuit traveling around the Carolinas with my son. IF we had hung 3 or 4 more runs on him, he probably would have stroked out on the field.

He is 180 degrees different than pawl. You know how pawl doesn’t care about his team and just stands there with that stupid look on his face? Vitello is fired up and yells at the umps over every call. He cries a lot. And I mean a lot. I can see this getting old just like pawls. I think LSU needs something in between.

Then you’re an idiot. And so are those who didn’t want him. But hey now you’ll get someone who has nowhere near as good of a resume and you can “imagine what he’d do with LSU’s resources.”

Interesting point. I can see what you mean. I guess along the same lines about a coach getting himself tossed to fire up a team. Can’t recall which former LSU player said that they had a coach - wouldn’t name who it was but consensus is that it was bertman- would intentionally go stir up some shite to get tossed to get his team motivated.
And I’ll be honest- if someone like him is our coach - I’ll defend him non stop- even the old - he’s an a-hole, but f you he’s our a-hole! ( unless the guy is a real scumbag- harming kids and shite).

You were probably one of those people who wanted Jimbo Fisher after he ran that program into the ground, because of his "resume".
O'Sullivan has been tracking nearly identically with Mainieri's trajectory over the past 4 years. He didn't need more resources, because he was out-recruiting LSU, most years. His program is becoming stale. Track records go out the window when the writing is on the wall.
By the way, people who resort to ad hominem retorts, are those who lack critical thinking. Funny that you would call someone else an idiot.

He's a bitch, but to say I, or the vast majority wouldn't love him if he was at LSU is just plain dumb. His tantrums and antics helps his team 1) The players see that he will fight tooth and nail for them even when deep down they know they are not right 2) The umps know this a-hole is going to challenge every damn detail, so maybe a subconsciously a close call might sway just a tad more 3) All that passion carries over to the players and fans and there is an excitement.
Don't think we get him, I wouldn't be upset if we do.
Whomever has him thinks this: He's an a-hole, but he's OUR a-hole. LSU fans would think the same thing.

Skip would absolutely play head games. He was huge on the psychological part of the game. I’m surprised with so many scouts and baseball experts posting here, that nobody has picked up on this with Vitello yet.

Yeah. That's it in a nutshell. I don't think there is any debating that he does not project a likable personality. But, you just learn to deal with it and hope the good outweighs the bad.

Yes your point is valid. Fisher is doing terribly at atm
Insightful as I would have expected from someone like you.

Vitello would absolutely take the LSU job but we don’t want him for some reason. It’s bianco now

I'm sorry. Could you point me to the evidence that he has taken them to greater heights than his predecessor over there?
Once again, critical thought is lacking. How surprising coming from someone who helicopters into a thread to call people idiots.

I must’ve missed where sumlin won anything close to the orange bowl or finished just outside the playoffs
Am I mistaken? Did he accomplish those feats?
Anyway back to the topic…the fact that you derailed it shows you can’t really debate the point at hand btw
You sound like you fear expectations that come with success

See this is what UT fans used to do when we had a bad year in football, we talked about the history. Now LSU baseball can’t come to reality that they are having a bad year
we know it's a bad year. we all wanted Paul fired for it before he announced his retirement.
but a bad year in baseball for us is still getting to Supers.
If that's what our "bad year" looks like, I'll take it over literally the entire history of your program.
