""It's two full weeks, at this point, of all-out coverage," Wilson told SFGATE. "This is when you're waking up at 3 a.m. and tapping your phone to make sure you didn't miss something. It's the mayhem season. It's been a crazy two weeks.""
""seemed very real at that point.""
""a whirlwind.""
Mike Wilson, a Knoxville News Sentinel reporter, followed Tony Vitello's run from Tennessee to the San Francisco Giants' managerial hire. Vitello achieved sustained college success, including three College World Series trips and the 2024 national championship, before becoming the first college head coach hired as an MLB manager without prior professional experience. Early attention arose when Andrew Baggarly labeled Vitello an "out-of-the-box" candidate. Wilson monitored sources and events for roughly a month, then intensified coverage when signals strengthened, prewriting multiple story angles and staying up late as the hiring appeared increasingly likely.
