What was Lost
Posted by VFL67 on 4/2/26 at 10:05 am
With LSU and Tennessee playing this weekend in baseball, it will feels anticlimactic without Vitello in the dugout. While Tennessee and LSU aren't historic rivals in anything due to the distance between the schools, the Vitello Johnson rivalry was so much fun these last few years.
In their overlap here were the accolades:
Tony Vitello:
-2 SEC Regular Season title
-2 SEC tourney Titles
-2 Omaha
- 1 Natty
Jay Johnson:
-2 Omahas
-2 Natties
Vitello held the head-to-head 7 wins to 6 losses
We got to see games in Knoxville, Baton Rouge, Hoover, and Omaha. Classic Friday night games of Skenes vs Dollander and Anderson vs Doyle. Whatever side you were on, there was never any doubt that these two coaches were the best two in the country, and just switching from year to year between 1 and 2.
My two favorite games were the Hoover championship game and the Doyle vs Anderson rain delay game. I'll miss watching these two coaches go head to head. Alright now Im sure the LSU fans will come tell me how wrong i am

Will Wade and Kiffin have a lot in common. Ton of bluster but no actual accomplishments when they were the coach. Makes sense
Will Wade has never even coached a Sweet 16 game
Lane Kiffin has never coached a playoff game
:rotflmao:
Will Wade has been to the Sweet 16 once in his career. Beard has been 3 times at two different schools, most recently last year. Continue to suck off a dude that has little to no career accomplishments compared to the rest of the coaches in the league. :nana:

Are you retarded he did that 1 year ago. Much more recent success than all the LSU inbreds talking about Wades success from 7 years ago. GFY

Its kinda like how bama plays Dixieland Delight at their games despite it expressly being about Tennessee. Little sister energy

The only person who you could put ahead of Oats is Barnes
Its not Saban fault. The groomed successor never works
Bear Bryant to Ray Perkins: fail
Pat Summit to Holly Warlick: fail
Skip to Smoke: fail
The best handoff was Rupp to Hall and UK fans were still mad

Chris Beard took Ole Miss to their second sweet 16 in school history in two years. He is at the worst basketball school in the conference. When he leaves and gets another big time job, he will go back to winning at the high clip he was before Ole Miss

100%. Barnes only signed one five star player at Tennessee before NIL and that guy was a borderline dude. I wish he had started paying players in 2016 cause then we wouldve started winning sooner. Barnes had teo good teams before NIL at Tennessee and both those teams were just 2 and 3 stars that were lightning in a bottle

Weren’t a lot of fans quite pleased with him when he brought in Heupel? What’s the deal?
Heupel started hot and now things are getting interesting. Caldwell was a terrible hire for Lady Vols. Vitello left because he wanted the challenge of MLB but I dont think Danny tried at all to keep him. The Elander hire is not going well.
Danny White only cares about making money for the athletic department and couldn't care about winning. He wants to be innovative and make Tennessee a pro sports environment. Its so dumb. He prices out normal fans and has turned every sporting event into a light show. Im very down on him. He is like the Jerry Jones of the SEC without the titles
Danny White sucks

Wade’s biggest upside was that he would cheat to get players. Now everyone has money to get players and more allocated to basketball than LSU. The SEC is better now than when he got fired the first time. The real question is when yall are below average in year 2 will the fans be calling for his head.

Its the same coaches winning now that its been for the last 30 years. If Summit was still coaching she wouldve continued to dominate Dawn just like she was when she was sick and retired
