And what tourney results has that gotten him? I couldnt care less if the guy and his players were asses, just win.

Disagree. Rick Barnes and his players has someone like me that doesn’t care about basketball interested. He won the SEC tournament over KY. That’s a championship I’ll take any year.

E8, FF, NC game? Im glad he has causals interested, im sure hes fine being one of the highest paid coaches in CBB and not being expected to bring the results of one.

Can we at least wait until the Sweet 16 before we start this crap?

How long until Checkers starts dissing Tony V for not winning the CWS?

Theres way too much randomness in baseball to expect championships.

If you can’t appreciate a SEC tournament win over KY, I suggest you start scouting a coach you can support that meets your standards. The rest of us will be here cheering for the Vols win or lose.

And there’s not in the NCAA tournament?? It’s commonly agreed that it is the toughest tournament to win in any sport because of its one and done setup.

…but still defending FL’s Mehlen

Let me put it this way so maybe youll understand. Take Rick Barnes, make his results a football coach... I think Mark Richt is a good example maybe a little too successful but close. Every Vol fan across America would be screaming for him to be fired. Thats the problem with so many causals being interested in basketball now, its like giving a kid a new toy, since its new its cool and you fail to see its shortcomings but eventually when you realize its once trick isnt that cool you throw that toy away but its too late to get a new one.

Theyre nowhere close to the same sure a bounce can go here and there, but overall basketball players have much more control of what happens in a game then baseball players do.

You just bashed Barnes (again) the other day. In THIS thread.

Yes, and there's nothing at all random about basketball.

Do you actually pay attention to the crap you spew?

CWS is funky, but March is still the toughest.

I love MR. Kirby is not a better coach. He just brought Saban’s plan of always having more talent. I am not a fan that pitches a fit because things don’t go my way then demand a new toy. Go Vols! Love our coaches. Would have quit watching if they would have hired Lane or Franklin so you’re barking up the wrong tree on that.

Too bad they didnt just so youd go away. We need more people that understand what theyre watching.

You think every Vol fan would be screaming to fire Rick Barnes if he got us into the CFP every year like he does with the NCAA tournament?

Yeah, I don't think that would happen.

Yeah, i made my crack and moved on. You started the conversation tonight. Then soda keeps replying.

Shooters can go on cold streaks just like batters.

Actually we need more people that do not have unrealistic expectations like the FL people who fired DM because of a bad season.

What thats not the comparison at all. Richt wasnt in the playoffs every year and wouldnt have been. Im talking about a coach who has high ranked teams consistently and continually underachieves. Barnes has been here 7 years.... I'll give him once in the tourney he met expectations although everyone was expecting an EE that year. And 3 times he was bounced well below them, and 3 times he didnt even make . And then of those 7 years hes met or exceeded expectations 3 times. Thats a 42% rate or an F. Not even going back to his days at Texas but hes a lifetime underachiever.

Given the fact you're an ass hole, have you ever considered you're more of an FF poster than an RF poster? Too bad you don't just go there. We don't need ass holes in the RF.

You can stop at any time. We’re blessed to have RB.

Wait, you were just cracking on me for saying UF shouldnt have fired Mullen, then came back and said the same thing I did.
Someone needs to get her story straight.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

In your opinion and thats fine, just dont tell me what my opinion should be.
