Athletic director Danny White said Tuesday he wanted to acknowledge he inherited an impressive roster of coaches when he was hired in January. “That’s a credit to those who came before me, White said. “Extending contracts for successful coaches is one indicator of a healthy athletics program, and we plan on continuing to be aggressive with extensions and rewarding success moving forward.” Vitello coached the Vols to 50 victories for the third time in program history. They won the Southeastern Conference Eastern Division title for the first time since 1997. Tennessee hosted an NCAA regional for the first time since 2005, then its first super regional. Vitello s new contract runs through the 2026 season.
