Heck, he was doing as well as Barnes does at Nevada.

Hey, take a guess who they lost to in that S16 game.

I'm still sad about this. Nevada and Kansas St. were definitely winnable games for us at full strength.

It is, but these kids of jobs are absolutely exhausting. They'd wear out most 40-year-olds, much less someone pushing 70.

True. All the traveling would wear me out.

Dang dude. What exactly are you expecting as an upgrade?

I’ve asked that of the trolls in other threads and all I got was crickets. No suggestions whatsoever.

Who said anything about an upgrade? Just someone who can actually get things done in the big dance.
Pitino ( I know it wont happen but hes a sure fire upgrade.)
Dan Hurley( I think he would jump, TN is a better job than Uconn)
Brian Dutcher (A clear talent pool upgrade for him.)
Scott Nagy ( Needs more talent)
Then there's the easy answer in Forbes. He needs to be in Knox before hes somewhere else beating our heads in.

Just someone who has recently shown they can go deep in the tournament. Those just grow on trees don't they?

If the football program keeps getting better no one will really care.

I dont think thats true at all.

Doesnt even have to be super recent, just ya know like the last 10 years, unlike someone.

Well the more I think about it, Arkansas is in back to back elite 8s...

Unbelievable that after our first SECT championship in decades, a great regular season, and some really exciting recruiting, some fans still want to run Barnes off.

I'm guessing they are too young to remember the black curtains.

Sarcastic responses like this are why many have deemed you a troll. You bring an awful lot of negative conjecture but very little substance.

You’re such a hater.

I've yet to see any of them list a couple of names they think we could get to replace Barnes. It's usually just "well, just someone who gets it done in the tournament" as if those grow on trees. Most of them are trolls imo.

I find it funny you think that was sarcasm.

It’s funny cause you spend 90% your time on here hating on a man who doesn’t even know you exist.

Okay then. How's Kevin Ollie sound? He fits your ten year criteria. Won the title in 2013. Take him over Barnes?

If hes eligible. Absolutely

Lol just dumb he is the reason UConn had to rebuild for about 3 years, and musslflop wouldn’t leave a good situation in Arkansas

 

[VolsAgainstTheWorld15]

If hes eligible. Absolutely

You are indeed a troll. Thanks for this exchange. You've confirmed my suspicion. Have a good evening.

That’s cute coming from someone who’d trade Barnes success at Tennessee for Frank Martin’s only Final Four.

Sorry forgot wanting a NC winning coach is a bad thing. Guess you wouldnt hire Saban either.
