It very well may be Vitello.
But there's a lot of great coaches whose seasons just ended in the past 1-2 weeks. The coach from Campbell has done an amazing job, as has the VCU coach. Jarrett at ND has the moxey and swagger that LSU fans would be endeared to, and his style of coaching lends itself to their program. The La Tech coach has done a good job building in the shadows of LSU. And don't count out the coach that was just fired from A & M - he's better than that program suggested.
The NC State coach isn't too shabby. Dallas Baptist coach has done very well. And the coach at Central Michigan has built a solid program there.
I do think it is possibly Vitello. He knows he's in the front seat for some great opportunities - one of which is staying at Tenn, making them pay boocoo money and building it all from the ground up with his own name on top instead of just "being part of the storyline".
