I know everyone likes to hate on Vitello, but I think he’s ahead of a lot of the coaches named above in the same time frame. He was in Omaha in his 3rd as a HC(didn’t count Covid year) with a team that won 7 SEC games year before he took over.

Buddy, all of the head coaches above won national titles. Only thing Vitello has under his belt is most wins in a regular season and an SEC Tournament Championship. Still hasn't made it to the National Title, let alone won it. So no, he's not better than the rest. I don't care about timeframe, because he had the (no doubt) best team in 2022, and yet couldn't even make it to Omaha. That was a catastrophic failure that was entirely deserved due to his arrogance and allowing his players to act the way they did. I sincerely hope he never wins a National Championship with Tennessee, but instead continues to choke when it matters most.
