24-25 now in NCAA tourney after this loss as HC

 

[Volitaire]

This is really Fulmer’s fault. He should have let Barnes take the UCLA job.

Yeah because outside of pearl Tennessee has been known to hire good basketball coaches, another terrible opinion

 

[Volitaire]

A bad showing? This is the third consecutive NCAA Tournament that Tennessee has underperformed its seed. It would be one thing if this was a one off, but this is literally the story of his career.

Literally the story of Tennessee’s history in the big dance...

 

[hUTch2002]

Should’ve been an and 1. Terrible call!

 

[hUTch2002]

Time to move on from barnes.

No way. That’s absurd.

Let’s not forget the blown 15 point lead to get sent home in the SEC tournament.

 

[vols 30]

Stop wasting time on players like Gaines, Pember, and EJ

 

[Volnbeers]

No way. That’s absurd.

It’s really not. What’s absurd is that we’re paying $5m for a coach that will never sniff the sweet 16.

Yes, let’s make all decisions on a game and a half. Makes sense.

 

[orange_glory]

5 mill for this? I could have got these results for $100,000.

 

[Volitaire]

You guys act as if Tennessee has won big in basketball. With Rick Barnes at least we have a chance to make it to the tournament almost every year...give it a break your arguments have no merit

I agree he’s over paid but firing him is lunacy.

Is not getting better. This years team has completely underachieved. Picked unanimously to win the SEC and finished fourth. Played against the team picked to finish last in the PAC 12 and got blown out . Considering Barnes track record in March, none of us are surprised. I hope Danny White has a long conversation with CRB after the season and let’s him know he is not riding out his retirement here. Paying him $5M a year for what we witnessed this year is highway robbery. Meanwhile, in Tuscaloosa, their AD just signed the SEC championship coach to an extension and raise, for only $3.2M. Are we getting our money’s worth? I think not.

It’s more than that and you know it.

 

[hUTch2002]

Tinkle’s Beavers. LOL!!!!!!

 

[Sam I Am]

Hey Rick, will you play us again after this loss by taking a look at another school and scamming us into more salary? Asking for a friend.....

 

[1985Vols]

Ok so it would be ridiculous to fire him now.

Because???

 

[hUTch2002]

It’s more than that and you know it.

Then why bring up that half of basketball?

 

[orange_glory]

Danny may want to start making a list.

Recruit better shooters. Hopefully the players coming in next year can do that. Our perimeter shooting is horrible.

 

[Zues1]

Is the UCF coach available?

 

[Volitaire]

Bailey, vescovi’s and pons poor shooting killed this game

Just look at his record in March. Look at the talent he has wasted at Texas and Tenn. He is basically robbing us

 

[Switch 625]

Down by 12 with 3 minutes left and we just dribble around the perimeter
