Rick Barnes discussion [merged]

[VolMarine1371]

Close to zero chance this team can catch up, they dont have the shooters or scheme to do it

We play good defense. Just need springer and Johnson to get it going.

 

[JBVolunteer]

Jerry Green was fired after an opening NCAA tournament loss blow out like this one. Why is Barnes not accountable?

Because we wouldn’t pay a buyout for a basketball coach under normal circumstances. It’s not even on the table!

 

[CaliVol2009]

Arkansas was down by 14 at one point and came back and won in 2nd half. It’s not over yet. Let’s stay positive!!

I’m hopeful but it’s highly unlikely. We look like absolute trash thus far.

 

[1985Vols]

As I mentioned, the 5 seed curse. It was the last thing Barnes and team needed

No, this team is just a Jekyll and Hyde team. They didn’t look motivated from the opening tip. It’s time to get a younger coach in here that can motivat these young guys because it’s obvious Barnes isn’t the answer. The pre season pick to win the SEC is getting run off the floor in the NCAAT by the team picked to finish last in the PAC 12. Enough said

Defense just gave up 33 points to The Beavers...cant stop them

 

[1985Vols]

Who’s your replacement?

Anybody is better than what we have right now. Barnes is AWFUL

Lmao, so you don’t have a clue then?

Gotcha.

 

[turdherder11]

Not looking like a March team this half.

 

[1985Vols]

Lmao, so you don’t have a clue then?

Gotcha.

Go after Nate Oates and offer him $5M. We have a good connection

He just signed an extension at Bama and has expressed no interest in leaving.

 

[lostsheep]

In all fairness, we have two lottery picks and are getting our asses kicked. I like Barnes, but how does one explain this away??

 

[1985Vols]

For $3.2M a year. I think we can get him and pay his buy out

Lol, it all goes back to coaching. When are people going to wake up!!!

Nate Oats isn’t leaving Tuscaloosa for Knoxville.

Sure we are. Have you not seen Barnes record in March for the last 35 years? This is what you get

Just another in a long line of tournament flameouts for Rick Barnes.

 

[1985Vols]

Nate Oats isn’t leaving Tuscaloosa for Knoxville.

Why, You Do know who gave him his first job?

Coaches are judged by the post season. If this score holds up he deserves plenty of criticism. Blew a big lead in the SEC semi finals and playing even worse than that second half today.

It takes a good 10 years to build a complete roster in college basketball.

 

[Catbone]

They’re not firing him. Deal with it.

Get used to being embarrassed in february and March then

 

[1985Vols]

It takes a good 10 years to build a complete roster in college basketball. Especially if ya've only got 40 years sperience and 6 ye

Lol. Barnes record is pathetic in March. Not Hall of Fame worthy

 

[SGMVols]

Get used to being embarrassed in february and March then

If you got your way, we wouldn’t be in March at all.

 

[1985Vols]

19 points. Worst offensive performance in NCAAT history for the Vols. Great job guys.

 

[SGMVols]

He’s going to be in the hall of fame. Period

Not sure you’re being serious. 10 years to put together 7 to 8 guys that can play?? Maybe for a football team, but no way it should take that long in basketball.
