Posted: 21 Oct 2025 17:05 pm
The 'watch' continues in Knoxville as no announcement on U.T. baseball head coach Tony Vitello staying with the Vols or leaving Rocky Top .
As like Saturday, Sunday and Monday , the Vols baseball team practiced today again at Lindsey Nelson stadium with Coach Vitello running the practices.
After that Sat. practice , Vitello gathered the players telling them 'nothing has been decided ' and the team would be the first to know of his decision.
A couple former Vols players were interviewed today and both were very complimentary of Vitello . One said , it's every player's dream of one day becoming a major leaguer and he felt that Vitello may feel the same way about a chance to manage in the majors. He added that either way he wlll be happy for Vitello whether he stays at Tenn. or gets the MLB gig.
Some announcers on Knoxville radio FM 99.1 The Animal speculated that now that the ALCS has been completed that a decision (one way or the other ) may come in this period between now and Friday's start of the WS.
