Johnny Majors hired Cutcliffe. Barnes hired all of his assistants.

I don't think he mentioned anything about hiring Cutcliffe. Just that the teams success decreased after he left.

We are a top 25 team. Will be a top 5-6 seed in the tournament. This is extremely embarrassing of you to say.

No we won’t, your statement is just as ridiculous

That makes two of us

Former players coming for Rick Barnes

Deleted, who and whats it say.

Robert Hubbs saying essentially that Rick Barnes runs his guys full sprint for 2-hours in practice the day before a game, so how can you "expect them to have fresh legs" on gameday.

Can you screenshot it or quote what is being said.

$5 mill a year for this and y’all are still defending this clown.

 

[Nointerduction]

Barnes needs to go!!! He is not worth the money we are paying him. This is embarrassing!!

 

[wmcovol]

Why is it whenever a team or player has a fluke performance it’s against Tennessee but Tennessee never has a player or team that plays lights out? It seems like it happens 2-3 year in basketball and football. All you Barnes sheep, remember he’s getting paid 6m now thanks to Brutus!

Fulmer, in all due respect, wanted to let Barnes go to UCLA. It was Randy Boyd who worked the deal to keep Barnes.

We really need a “ Fire Barnes” movement. If nothing else it would kill his ego, which is huge BTW. To be fired at two different schools and still be a HOF coach would be unheard of

People are defending him because they think he will be replaced with a Dooley type hire

Wow. I’m surprised it took this long to get one of these.

 

[tnvols72]

I will admit that I think its time for Barnes to think about retiring. His 70s offense is not getting it done.

 

[VOLumeS]

Rant on. Feel better?

Not a rant just facts.

We have White now. I'm hoping that would alleviate some fears.

Barnes is currently a dooley type coach right now in terms of results.

 

[orange_glory]

I thought the thread title said he's getting old. Of course it works both ways.

Fulmer just wanted to keep the basketball program in its place.

If we make the tournament, it will be one and done. This team is so hard to watch. Barnes may have reached his limit here.

No credit or blame to the head coaches for their hires?

 

[MAD]

When Bruce Pearl sees the Kentucky score.

 

[brockytop]

Best thing about this team is there is absolutely no reason…
to get hopes up when the calendar turns to March, especially considering the HC.

Another one & doner wasted.

You mean it will be his usual first or second round exit? No, surely you jest

 

[Caz]

One of the worst defensive performances I have ever seen

Running their buts out of Rupp with fast break points. This one is way over the top horrific, but I’m feeling the same whipping at AU.
