"Anderson had been working as the Volunteers' pitching coach since 2017, and was acting as the interim head coach after Tony Vitello left the team to become the Giants' new manager last month. Now, the 66-year-old Anderson will join Vitello in San Francisco, looking to continue the success the duo shared in Tennessee. This will be Anderson's first coaching job in the majors, but he isn't exactly a stranger to the Show, as his son Brett Anderson pitched 13 MLB seasons from 2008-21."
"Reports emerged earlier this week that Justin Meccage will be the Giants' new pitching coach, so Anderson could be taking on an assistant pitching coach job or perhaps could be moving into the bullpen coach vacancy. There has been plenty of turnover on the coaching staff with Vitello coming in, and the new hires have included Meccage, hitting coach Hunter Mense, Jayce Tingler in an unspecified role, and now Anderson."
Frank Anderson is leaving the University of Tennessee coaching staff to join the San Francisco Giants' coaching staff in an unspecified role. Anderson served as Tennessee's pitching coach since 2017 and became interim head coach after Tony Vitello departed to manage the Giants. The 66-year-old will reunite with Vitello and this marks his first Major League coaching position. Anderson's son Brett pitched 13 MLB seasons from 2008-21. Reports indicate Justin Meccage will be the Giants' pitching coach, leaving room for Anderson to serve as assistant pitching coach or bullpen coach. Anderson has over four decades of college coaching experience and nine seasons as Oklahoma State's head coach from 2003-2012.
