Rick Barnes has emerged as a serious candidate the for UCLA job, reportedly has interviewed

[vanillagorilla]

To football centric makes no sense. He coached at TEXAS for years. I'm pretty sure they were a football school during those years

 

[DownTheField]

But he was wrong to say it. Stupid, in fact.

Reminds me of the gaffe at Kentucky with Bryant and Rupp...

 

[VolGee4]

Goodman is about as solid as it gets.

Yes he is

 

[BruinVol]

I wonder if Barnes tried to get more money for assistants and was denied? Didnt they all recieve a bump in pay recently? Really confused about Barnes to UCLA unless something bad happened behind the scenes

I posted a few pages back that i think he may have ask for Lanier to be named HCIW

 

[cwbytruckers]

Get ready for an 8-25 season

 

[au4life23]

Basilo is saying he couldnt get what exactly he wants from fulmer.

Bruce is good enough to get us to 16 wins

This is the only reason i see Barnes leaving then. He really cares about his guys.

Hamilton is 70 years old. Believe it or not

That is surprising, but I was simply referencing their coaching ability.

 

[au4life23]

Baslio has heard he was unhappy with Fulmer since Mid-Season.

Only thing I could figure is he sees us breaking the bank for football assistants and he’s had some pushback on who (and the amount he wants to spend) he wants to hire to replace Lanier (and Oliver).

 

[ShoNuff]

If Barnes wants it than GTFO. I could care less

 

[JMSqb11]

He’s showing more emotion with this potential job change than he did on the sidelines lmao......

[Honky]

What does this mean, specifically?

'WHAAAAA

 

[YankeeVol]

Where would UT go from here?

Bring back Bruce.

 

[VOLED]

Barnes has been at a football centric school before. I would be shocked if Texas was not every bit a football school as we are. Why get upset now? This would be 100% on Fulmer, if so.

UCLA is getting roasted for their coaching search and they are desperate to save face. I'm hearing 5 million reasons why Barnes may be gone....

 

[EZE]

I mean how different is Texas and Tennessee with sports culture? Texas and Tennessee have always been football first schools. I don't buy that in the least bit that he's unhappy with Fulmers care of football unless he wanted UT to open its pockets to pay assistants more

Something is wrong with our culture as a University. We typically hire coaches that suck and have to be fired.

But, for those that aren’t fired, they can’t seem to get out fast enough. I don’t know if it the administration, the boosters, or both, but it is a problem.

Hell, even Dooley and Butch were trying to get out early.

Honestly, I may admit my self into a mental hospital.

I thought the same thing. I wonder if Barnes wanted to keep Lanier and Fulmer vetoed it

I’m beginning to lose faith in Fulmer myself between this and the apparent dumpster fire that is the Lady Vols search.

Basilio doesnt know jack ****

 

[au4life23]

Basilo has heard that Steve Alford was on campus this year multiple times.

 

[bobbyutvol]

I don't think he will go to California. 4 million at Tennessee is a lot more than 8 million in California. I would be shocked if he left.

 

[Roustabout]

Basilo is reporting that he agrees with the LA times report. Is very unhappy with Fulmer and his approach towards basketball. Too football centric.

Best new locker room in the country?
2nd highest paid coach in the SEC?

If Barnes wants to leave, then F’em.
