Greg McElroy wasn’t impressed.

The SEC Network analyst called out Tennessee head baseball coach Tony Vitello’s “embarrassing” antics as the Vols celebrated their national championship Monday after a 6-5 win over Texas A&M in Omaha in the College World Series.

“I just wish he didn’t have the antics that he does,” McElroy said Tuesday during “McElroy and Cubelic In The Morning” on WJOX 94.5-FM in Birmingham. “He’s like a WWE character. It’s embarrassing, seriously. To be an adult, I’d be appalled. I really would.

“I know he wins, and he’s great and the kids love him and all that stuff. That’s awesome, but if that was a leader of my organization, I would have to have a little talking to him. I just would. It’s unbelievable.”

McElroy, a former Alabama quarterback, said the coach’s actions make the Vols a tough team to root for.

“His antics after the game last night were embarrassing,” McElroy continued. “Seriously. … Have some class. You just won a national championship. Have some class. WWE, with all respect, not class. Just not.

Tennessee had made runs at the title before. The Vols reached the CWS in 2021 and went 0-2. The next year they were the No. 1 national seed and lost at home in a three-game super regional. They were back in Omaha last year and won a game. And they slugged their way back again this year, making it to the finals for the first time since the 1951 team lost to Oklahoma in the championship game.

Minutes after the final pitch, the 45-year-old Vitello shared an embrace with his father, Greg, a longtime state champion high school baseball and soccer coach in St. Louis.

“I felt like I was the dad and he was the kid because he wouldn’t stop crying,” Vitello said, per The Associated Press. “I had to rub some dirt on him.”

The Vols are the eighth SECC school to win a national title in baseball. Those eight have combined for 16 titles. The SEC has won five in a row, all by different schools, and 10 of the last 15.
