Anyone who thinks Barnes needs to be fired, has this board to flame away but most rational fans won't pay too much attention to them. Barnes is going to retire from UT some day and I'm good with that. He has built a very good program. I hope that he self-reflects and figures out how to break this run of disappointments in the NCAA tournament, and frankly I think he deserves the chance to do it. Regardless of those disappointments, getting UT to the tournament annually and actually being relevant in college basketball consistently.......you can't take that away from him.

How about, he needs to be retired. Barnes needs to quit beating his players into the ground and spend more time on his offense.

No ide if you're serious but if the NCAA wasn't a bunch of idiots and that guy could come back and coach a major program again, he'd do some great things. He can coach. He has himself to blame, but at the same time, the other guys who have gotten away with similar stuff or gotten slaps on the wrist have me think he's paid too heavy a price.

This may be the worst post in the history of this website. I think we’ve found it, boys.

"Tennessee needs to fire Barnes so they can get over the hump."

IS MORE STUPID THAN

"Kentucky needs to fire Stoops so they can get over the hump."

And that last statement is the height of stupidity.

Doing the same thing over and over expecting a different result is also the definition of insanity. I’m not saying we should can Barnes but he definitely needs to make some coaching style adjustments. No matter how good your D is (or you think they are) you aren’t going to win if you can’t score.

I don’t want that greasy creep anywhere near our program. Anyone who wants to time travel back to that nightmare can go alone.

Whoa, I didn’t say near our program. Find where I said that. I said if he got another shot he’d do well. He can coach. Lots of greasy guys coaching at the moment.I also said the NCAA are. A bunch of idiots, which they are. Hilarious that a fanbase whom largely worships that snake at Auburn draws a line when it comes to sleaziness. Pitino is sleazy, Self is, Oats is. Calhoun and Jim B were. They are everywhere.

Thank you. Where am I wrong? Can he not coach? Did he not kill it at Morehead and S Mississippi ? Would he not have won here had he not been an idiot? Is the NCAA not pick and choose with who and how they punish these guys? Where is the lie? If the lie is that he was punished too severely, then I have no issue with that.

I don’t want Bruce back. If you knew the details of Tyndall’s violations, you wouldn’t think he was punished too severely. The guy got the worst show cause in history.

Very possible and that’s fair , but he can still coach. If that’s the part of my post that’s getting the strong reaction, then that’s fine, but I pushback if it’s the coaching part. I can’t stand the NCAA. I thought Dave Bliss got the worst one? I think there are a ton of college coaches the NCAA has let slide over the years. For me, it’s more about the I density of the NCAA and how they can be selective in their outrage and enforcement.

Bliss and Tyndall each got ten year show cause penalties. Tyndall’s has a clause that says if he a university does hire him, shows cause, he immediately begins a suspension. They threw him under the jail. Is the NCAA level handed? No. Did they get it right on Tyndall? I think so.

If anything the refs need to be fired. How many times did they fall for FAU’s fake fouls?

Don’t blame the refs. TN lost the game. We Can’t shoot and were very tight the last 10min. Bama fans already blaming refs for the loss vs Arizona State. It’s very difficult to make it to the final four as there is so much talent among the 64 teams. Also the pressure is immense as each possession is critical in March.

Barnes doesn’t deserve to be fired, but he was out coached last night and looked lost on the bench.

But give Barnes credit that he coached one hell of a game vs Duke.

I think it's an OSHA/NAFTA government requirement that any time a coaching rumor takes place regarding Tenn sports, the name of Kiffin and Gruden have to be brought up regardless of the sport involved.

Tennessee exceeded expectations to make it the Sweet 16. But I don’t agree, both halves started out something like 7-1 in fouls favoring FDU. That definitely impacted the Vols style of play.

I get that refs can be a big difference in games but you can't go into a game thinking "I hope the refs let us play or we're getting embarrassed again by this average team/lower seed."

Officiating is part of every sport: football, hockey, basketball, and baseball (strike zone). Teams must adapt and play the game.

That is why golf, bowling, and billiards are great.

Track and Field is pretty good as well. Swimming, but not diving, also.

I watched curling during Olympics. I Still don’t understand the sport but didn’t care to google. One person using 🧹 ……..

Thanks for the laugh. I admit that I care too much about TN sports. I’m better that I used to be. I want to attend one TN (football or basketball ) championship. I have friends who’ve seen numerous Bama title games and a few who’ve been to all three UGA title games.

Im 51 now and not sure I will get the opportunity. Hope so.

It was not any where near 7-1 to start the game. We didn’t play FDU either. We didn’t make shots. If we even shoot 35% we win.

Tennessee basketball fans as a whole have become greedy instead of grateful. No Barnes hasn't gotten us over the hump but he has the program at the best position its ever been. No other coach in its history has had this much sustainable success.

Ray Mears. Although college basketball and the NCAA has changed dramatically.
Ernie, Bernard, and Mike Jackson would flourish in tournament play today.

It took me years to attain worst post, and I’ve had some bangers in the past. Im sure it won’t surprise you all to know I am capable of dumber posts. Apparently I didn’t know all of Tyndall’s discretions. I admit that, and I accept your award. With embarrassment, awkward pride, and much humility, I accept it and will live with the consequences of my actions with this stupid post of mine.
