Rick Barnes discussion [merged]

[VoLunTiTan7]

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

and still got paid $5 million...

 

[Hallie]

Maybe Barnes will go to UCLA .. his dream job .. or retire ..

 

[Switch 625]

Oregon State was picked last in the PAC 12 and won the conference tournament and bounced the team picked to win the SEC with 3 5-star players. Seems like that guy knows how to coach his players up.

One last F U from Fulmer

 

[Border Vol]

Coach Barnes please announce your retirement in the next few days

 

[mr.checkerboards]

He isnt even .500 in his career in the tournament. Barnes is not a good coach.

@1985Vols

Please just give it a rest man

 

[Defaultuser]

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

Texas fans appreciate the coach worship.

He earned my first "Ignore". I mean I'm as frustrated as anyone, but goodness gracious

 

[VolFreakJosh]

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.

Whatever dude. I’m tired of arguing with you and your anti Barnes group.

I don’t gaf on what Barnes does from here on out.

Danny White better not screw up his replacement, that’s all I’m going to say.

Rick Barnes is one of the most overpaid humans on the planet. Must be nice.

 

[Sudden Impact]

I really don't think that Barnes has ever embraced a 3 point offense....he is a 2 fer guy and will always be one...He has never adjusted his offense to support the 3 point shot and does not work it...The reason we had good 3 point shooters in the past was because of natural talent and not because of coaching...he is a bang it inside with the three as a secondary choice...dinosaur coaching....

Its not anti Barnes, all of his criticisms are on point. Barnes builds programs but has a ceiling and thats lower than winning anything important.

"not a good coach"

To make that kind of assessment you need to consider the many many coaches who fail. In reality, Barnes is a decent coach. He's not great, he's not bad. He's good enough. Seasons like this are why he was fired at Texas. But if this is as bad as it gets, then it doesn't make him a bad coach.

Or what?

The only thing worse than being bounced in the first round is being associated with some of you "fans." I love this team, but having to be lumped in with you blow hards that want to blow out every coach that doesn't win a natty sucks. News flash. Barnes is good for us. Tennessee is a dumpster fire in athletics because the fans are obnoxious and no one wants to come here because of that. You all should look at what you are doing to this university you allegedly love and just shove it.

 

[johnfnkelly]

Fire Rick Barnes

 

[Sudden Impact]

so when do we find out who is gone and who is coming back....

 

[Catbone]

Terrible job? Not making the ncaa tournament would be terrible, but let’s not have terrible opinions over a bad showing

Terrible take

Not asking for a National Title I just want a respectable run in the NCAA Tournament

Ahhh, it's the fans fault excuse. Bawahaha

 

[Border Vol]

They'll probably all be gone after this abortion of a game

You think this nonsense is true, the fans are keeping this from being a great program? What on earth do you have as evidence this is true? The administration, coaches and players are 100% the reason for whatever a direction the program goes.

“Grant Williams is to Rick Barnes what Josh Dobbs was to Butch Jones.”

 

[hUTch2002]

We actually agree on something Top 25 , probably. However, we can do better

But can we? That’s the question. To me, you can’t make a move unless you’re pretty darn sure you’re upgrading. I doubt the admin will pay more than what Barnes is making. So who can we get for his money or less that’s a definite upgrade?
