Rick Barnes discussion [merged]

[Switch 625]

You’re mad. I get it. Doesn’t mean firing him is the right move. He’s easily one of the best coaches in UT history.

Overrated. He’s coached at an above-average level for a long time. He’s nothing special.

 

[VolArmy74]

I'd take Porter from Loyola at this point. They look competitive, competent and well coached all the time. Pipe dream. We won't be looking for a coach until 2025 at the earliest, probably longer. Hopefully football has recovered by then.

 

[feathersax]

After this game, they can fire his arrogant a**

Classy retort...oh, it's you.

Barnes laughing all the way to the bank this year. Giving us comments like “oh this team finally gets it” just to shut up the critics for another game or two.
He is trash. His offense is trash. This team is trash.

Im sorry but what accolades does he have...a shared regular season title in a season where he choked away the chance at the outright title, tournament title and trip to the elite 8?

 

[GoBigOrangeUT]

This entire year has been an abject failure by Barnes to instill an actually competent offense. You’ve managed to fill out a team with a bunch of basketball players who can’t shoot and it hasn’t improved at all. That’s on Barnes.

Man, now you're not classy because you call an arrogant ass and arrogant ass?

And he continues to let them jack up shots.

They have completely neglected their mid range game today.

Why didn’t JJJ come out?

He's 4th or 5th at UT in the modern era, which I consider post integration, but if you look at his total career he's the 2nd most accomplished coach we've had.

Follow another team...

 

[1985Vols]

These refs?

 

[VolArmy74]

He’s not caring how pathetic of a fan you are and can’t wait to play for a HOF coach with a team in need of a true point guard

Barnes will have to have some major late career magic after this to make the Hall of Fame. Games like today are too prominent in a career that celebrates post season success above all.

It’s not the team he has a problem with, it’s the man in charge.

Pumpers are always so sensitive even though everything stated is factual.

 

[VolFreakJosh]

It’s not the team he has a problem with, it’s the man in charge.

Then complain to Danny Whit e

 

[1985Vols]

I swear Bailey is either hot or cold. He’s never anywhere in the middle

 

[chad954ut]

More than Texas

How old are you ?

 

[Switch 625]

How is everyone on the team ice cold?

 

[Volitaire]

Pumpers are always so sensitive even though everything stated is factual.

Factual? The only thing you stated was the team was trash based on preseason opinions...

 

[feathersax]

Man, now you're not classy because you call an arrogant ass and arrogant ass?

say whut?

 

[chad954ut]

This team wants to run, let them coach !!!

 

[VolArmy74]

He is a career Under achieving coach. Look at some of the players he had at Texas and they made 1 Final 4. He’s so overrated

People don't seem to realize how few college coaches make the Hall of Fame. Barnes would be in the hall of being pretty good most years for a long time.

 

[Volitaire]

It’s not the team he has a problem with, it’s the man in charge.

The man in charge has overachieved based on past Tennessee history, it’s not like he took over Kentucky. I guess those facts are lost in discussion though

He’s had an average career, nothing more
