Texas

Rick Barnes apparently out at Texas. Sure could use him to stabilize Tennessee.

With all due respect, I'm not a Rick Barnes fan.

Hire Billy Gillespie...and don't expect him to glad hand the fan base...but just win...

Apparently no one has watched Texas since Durant was there.

Barnes is the ultimate underachiever. Caveat emptor.

They've finished top 3 in Big 12 recruiting 6 of last 7 years. Finished top 3 in Big 12 play 1 of those 7 years. ¯\_(&#12484_/¯

That is the definition of "can recruit, can't coach."

Texas has had six draft picks in the last four years but none of them went past the Round of 32.

BOSGAP could have recruited a top the class at Texas.

The guy is just under average all around IMO.

Look for the job filled by Smart

Barnes is the basketball version of Fulmer, but without the ring. Pass.

I've been saying that for days. Barnes is past his prime and a little washed him. He just doesn't appear to have the fire and passion needed to sustain a top program, much less rebuild a program.
