Recruiting Forum Football Talk IV

How is that post ridiculous?

Any post that tries to say the UT basketball program has been anything more than mediocre for the majority of the last forty years is absolutely ridiculous.

This is pathetically misstated to fit your agenda against Barnes. He left Clemson after year 4 to go to Texas which was viewed as a step up. Clemson was never going to be more than a second tier ACC team. At Tejas, his year 4 record was 22-12; he only had EIGHT (8) seasons with better records over the following 13 seasons. Two of which he took tejas to EE. Too bad the facts don't fit your agenda but that doesn't stop your rants.

Personally I think he doesn't like the current landscape of CBB and wouldn't be surprised to see him retire. If son, I have confidence in White to make a good hire based on his track records and respect he has in the coaching community. Think it will be an "up n comer"

I hope he retires after this season

Rick Barnes will be 68 start of next season. That’s up there.

Imagine our record if Super Coach were here


Lol

Good ol Super Coach..he is a helluva great coach..never makes a mistake in subs and strategy, and his very presence prevents other greatly talented teams from shooting worth a

It's time.

If I ever had to pick a random good, but not great team to make a run it would be based on this:

1) Great PG
2) Shoot a lot of 3s (up the variance)
3) Great D

Not saying it is at all likely, but that's the kind of team that CAN go on a run. Let it fly, play D...top notch PG.

Yeah..that's what I meant, this team is one of those kind of teams...they get hot for a few days in March and it changes everything.

The Portal is like Free Agency in the NFL.
How many NFL teams sign "big time" free agents and then don't do squat? Yes, Tampa Bay did last year, but that is an anomaly.
You build through the draft....and recruiting. JMO

Then they leave....we have to be successful playing the portal game to compete. It is what it is.

Man...small vent.

Best friend is in ICU with covid pneumonia, looking pretty bad right now. The kiddo tested positive today with covid. 2022 ain't starting off no better!

I think it's time to put Barnes out to pasture and see who DW would hire.

I hate this dumb



Oh wait, I forgot...

FAHR BAHRNES!!! HAHR SUPER COACH!! AND DO IT NOW!

It's been better than mediocre the last 20 years which is what I was saying

Wake Forest hasn’t won 20 games or more since 2009. Well on their way to it with Forbes in just the 2nd season as HC View attachment 428511

So f'n what..

6 tourney wins since 2008. SIX! SEIS! .500 winning percentage in the SEC without Grant Williams. Recruiting has tanked. 5 Million a year. 68 years old.

Keep singing his praises though.

Looks like I’ve Upset a Barnes guy, it’s alright Steve will keep winning while we flounder with 5 stars getting hammered by Bammer, LSU and Auburn. Barnes is a solid person but the paycheck and results look a bit daunting

Fahr Bahrnes! Hire Super Coach...or another schmuck making less money than Bahrnes so we don't have that to bitch and whine about anymore.

Fulmer won a NC and isnt getting as much equity as Barnes did off 2 years. Our fan base is something else man.

Fulmer is still one of my favorite VFLs

I have crewed a sailing ship, three mast monohull. Had a blast. Unless we are boarding and pillaging vessels on the high seas, I was leaning towards a relaxed vacation, not a working vacation…

Yea, I understand. I‘ve done countless charter trips and for-hire yacht deliveries and hold a USCG 100 Ton Master/STCW. Sometimes the relaxation is worth a lot more than the adventure, especially when you’re celebrating special occasions with family and friends.

Judging by the Twitter comments from UNC fans this is a big time hire. Crediting him for their recent success on the recruiting trail.

Oh definitely is a bigtime hire no doubt

 

[VolNash17]

This is probably most excitement I’ve had for football program in awhile. Great opportunity here

I’m not joining in on the “fahr Barnes” wagon, but I’m not going to defend him either. Fair or unfair, his little dalliance with UCLA cost him a lot of goodwill he could use during these rough patches.

I bet UCLA is very thankful they didn't hire him

SIAP

Wonder if he will fill the role that many of us have wanted Austin Thomas to come back to UT and lead?

 

[drvenner]

For 5 million dollars we could get any up and comer

Up and comer? Do you mean someone like Donnie Tyndall?

Recruiting has tanked?

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

As long as there continues to be non-recruiting discussion in here I will pray for a loss each and every time we touch the ball.

GTFOH..there is the f'n door..
