Vols baseball: Everything you need to know about Coastal Carolina coach Kevin Schnall

Tennessee baseball's coaching search is in full swing after Tony Vitello announced he will be leaving Rocky Top for the San Francisco Giants.

He's the first coach in modern baseball to go straight from college to the Major Leagues because of what he built at Tennessee. Now, Athletic Director Danny White and the Tennessee administration are tasked with finding his replacement.

The first interview Tennessee conducted was with Coastal Carolina coach Kevin Schnall, who led the Chanticleers to the College World Series this past season.

Tony Vitello has built a strong foundation for Tennessee's baseball program to move forward and remain a national title contender, and Schnall is the type of coach who could pick up right where Vitello left off on day one.
