Rick Barnes discussion (merged)

[GAVol]

Yeah, let’s just silence speech we disagree with!

lol… this ain’t exactly political dissent.

 

[Volsfaninva917]

No. All that needs to happen is to read your posts to see the trolling and simpleton comments.

Yes, trolling is what I do after all this time. Grow up Peter pan, someone doesn't agree with you, it's OK

 

[BallinVol]

Never said fire him by the way but I feel he needs to make a decision. A 75 year old isn't going to find much success

A 75 year old that has had the success he has had or potentially can have in the next 5 years, isn't concerned with an opinion of such. At that point if he wants to retire then so be it. If the man wants to continue to coach, then let it go. He has been our most successful coach in the history of the program, so there's no need to rush him out of town...

 

[VolsSportsFan]

When we start getting bounced constantly in the Elite 8, I’ll call Rick Barnes an Elite 8 coach

When you stop sounding like a moron, I'll stop calling you a moron.

Again, not saying anyone needs to "rush him out" however, he needs to make a decision

Um, he's not agreeing with you....and you're getting your panties in a wad.....so......

You said "It's time".....now you're dancing it back.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Rick Barnes has been to a Final Four with Texas in 20003. They lost to Syracuse. He was also in the Elite 8 with Texas in other years. What a moron.

Wow, he's coaching until 20003? Is he a vampire?

 

[Volsfaninva917]

Not really, has no bearing on my life

 

[Volsfaninva917]

Yeah, it's time to make a decision

Your whining about it says otherwise buttercup.

 

[Volsfaninva917]

Your whining about it says otherwise buttercup.

Not whining at all, simply stating my opinion and that has everyone in a uproar

 

[ZZ13]

But where are the NCAA championships or even final four appearances ? Before you answer Bama is in the final 4 and Barnes is not. Does that make the Bama coach hall of fame too ?

No, it just makes him lucky he drew Clemson instead of Purdue in the regional finals. It’s all just luck of the draw at this stage

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Yeah, it's time to make a decision

What decision? He's made no comment about retiring, therefore things should be treated as normal. Do you normally think coaches have to "make a decision" every offseason?

He needs to make a decision best for him, his family and the program. Coaches at his age should make decisions every offseason

 

[BowlBrother85]

LOL. It was spoken of in the past tense. An extra zero was typed. Fixed .... for anyone who couldn't have figure that out on their own (though, I don't know how).

You calling it an "uproar" shows your hand and shows in fact you're the butthurt one.

 

[BernardKingGOAT]

He's not 75. I hope that's about the time he hands it over better than anyone in my lifetime.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Again...what decision? If he hasn't said anything about retirement, the decision has already been made.

 

[Volsfaninva917]

You calling it an "uproar" shows your hand and shows in fact you're the butthurt one.

Again, not butthurt at all. Simply made one comment but yet you keep going back to it, wonder why.

 

[VaBornVol]

If you’re into statistics run the numbers on this ratio you got going

Help me out here before I run the numbers so I can support whatever rebuttal you’re try to make…

Since he was a head coach beginning in 1987, he’s made made the Final 4 once, and the Eight 8 three times. Most of his tournament runs have not advanced past the Sweet 16.

For the record, I’m not calling for Barnes firing, just wondering why this seems to be a surprise for many

 

[Volsfaninva917]

He's not 75. I hope that's about the time he hands it over better than anyone in my lifetime.

The comment was made after it was said Kim Englist in 5 years, in fact, Barnes will be 75 in a years. Sorry, can't control time or facts

 

[VolTull]

Again, not butthurt at all. Simply made one comment but yet you keep going back to it, wonder why.

He's butthurt? Dunno. Just a guess. I blame it on the refs.

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

Saying that Barnes needs to go isn’t being disagreeable. It’s just being stupid. The doubling down is trolling.

Where did I say he needed to go? I simply said he needs to make a decision. What's best for him, his family and the program. He'll be 70 this July. What's best long term?
