Rick Barnes discussion [merged]

[EZE]

You’re delusional. Pearl had us in the tourney every year he was here. Took us to an Elite 8. It’s not like our program has sucked. Barnes takes great teams and underachieves every year. He’s not worth what we pay him

Pearl had some early exits in there, too, and didn’t win any SEC tournaments, either.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Get rid of him. This isnt an anomaly. This isnt a fluke. Barnes isnt young. This is what happens to him every year. Barnes sucks

Doubt we can, probably has a nice sized buyout.

 

[Switch 625]

Such a dumb comment.

Prove me wrong. Who on this team got better during the course of this year?

 

[EZE]

We need to bring in a former player as head coach. I’d see if Chism or Bradshaw have any interest.

Wow. Just wow.

 

[VOLinAL]

Ya. Barnes has to go. I'm fine with Barnes in the reg season and his ability to get us to the postseason. He is abysmal in tournaments. If you want to win big, he is not the answer unfortunately. His offense is horrible. That 2019 team made him look good like Dobbs made Butch look.

Barnes sucks in tournaments, but lets be honest we cant do any better

Maybe if Pearl wasn’t such a dumb f*** over a silly Barbecue, he’d still be here but he had to lie to cover his a$$.

Pearl did some great things here but he’s got to be one of the worst cheaters in the NCAA.

 

[Switch 625]

Brick after brick after brick! Does this team ever practice?!

 

[FranklinVol16]

They don't call him regular season Rick for nothing.

Worst tournament game in the history of Tennessee basketball. Any one have another with hotter garbage than this loud fart in church?

We suck. Barnes needs to go!

 

[brockytop]

has a Rick Barnes coached team exceeded its seeding.

Today was a total embarrassment from start to finish. $5 million dollars a year

 

[BreatheUT]

Barnes isn't going anywhere. You are wasting your breath. Now let's discuss some real options.

To say he just stands there is dumb. He is trying. I don’t like this year’s results, either, but your statement is dumb.

And, yes, the player and team development was abysmal this season. It would be nice to know why because there can be a lot of reasons for that.

Check out my other posts. This has been Barnes worst coaching job since he got here.

We had several players get worse from last year to this year

 

[We suck]

Barnes worst coaching year at Tennessee. Glad it’s over. This team was very hard to watch.

Ready to send Barnes to UCLA now

We can get the same though for a lot less money than regular season Rick.

At least we won

Compared to what every major program in the NCAA was doing, not telling the NCAA to pound sand is the single biggest mistake in UT basketball program history. It probably cost us a national title.

I’ll pitch in for his buy out

Phil shouldve let him walk

Correct, Pearl underperformed his seed twice, but he also over performed his seed twice. Barnes has underperformed his seed all three times that he’s made the tournament in Knoxville.

Your defense of Barnes is pathetic. Pearl was thrown under the bus by a pathetic weak admin. Like dude really stop, your schtick is old.

 

[DocVol]

Barnes making Pruitt look like a competent head coach

 

[etsuvol13]

We suck. Barnes needs to go!

You suck, and you need to go. This is just so stupid. Like mouth breathing stupid.
