Love it

Not really sure about this hire. I know Barnes is a good coach but is this hire really looking to the future?

This hire is about righting this ship now and stabilizing the program now. Hart couldn't afford another "upside" coach. Had to go proven

Except Coach K, Izzo, Calipari, etc.

One of these isn't like the other 2 LOL.

What go Barnes fired is one of the reasons CPF got the boot. He had a hard time replacing some of his assistants. I'm buying in on this hire simply because of the stability he brings to our BB program. Just hope he hires a good, hard working recruiter.

Yes.
A proven coach (over 600 wins)
Stability (17 yrs. at one school)
Recruiting nationally (not all his players are from Texas)

GBO

I think this hire is to get us to the future... intact and with our pants on.

👍💥
Very good hire for us and the sec as a whole!

 

[AusTXVol]

Yes.

 

[Keyser Soze]

Your poll is.... well less than impressive!!!!!!

 

[orangegrass]

104.5 seems to be trying their hardest to crap on the hire.

Where is that station located? 'Nough said.:tease2: Hey Vandy get used to losing in the fall and winter.

 

[YankeeVol]

I'm neither stoked or upset. He's a name, that's what the AD wanted.

 

[MR_VOL]

Hell no. No way I'm hiring a coach that just got fired!

 

[calban]

Most intelligent hire for the current situation.
May be the best hire, besides getting lucky on Pearl since I've been following TN basketball.

 

[esarmstrong]

Not really. I hope we aren't about to hire a coach who is great with the "Jimmies and the Joes" but is questionable with the x's & o's. We'll probably win the press conference, but beyond that, I see nothing but uncertainty.

I also fear the game has passed him by. Would have preferred some young up and comer...

Pay attention. This is a damn good post. Well done Yankee

I'm stoked.

Twss.

Side note: She didn't say it me. It was someone else.

 

[allvol9]

Yes....a very solid hire. Just what we need. Will add credibility and stability.....which is what we need.

 

[snapcracklepop]

This hire is Awesome!!!!! The game has NOT passed Rick Barnes by. I'm so glad we have a PROVEN winner on our side! I'm sick and tired of up and comers!
