Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

If they pay him $8M a year hell will freeze over.

He ain’t worth 8 million. They can have him for that.

 

[RikidyBones]

And you think FL is better?

100% better. No snow. Less road rage (in Jacksonville not Miami or Orlando), The Beach, flip flops year round, green plants year around, no commute, NO STATE TAXES, less wear and tear on your vehicles unless you live a few blocks or less off the beach, unfiltered Florida man stories, hurricanes rarely hit Jax so that's not really a con, get to skip the ****** seasons like winter or the end of fall or the beginning of spring, casual business attire, etc.

 

[titansvolsfaninga]

Gonna go with Atlanta on this one, $8mm is ridiculous for Barnes on top of the buyout. 5+ is still a heavy price tag for him IMO. Good luck in Cali...

They are paying him more than Chip Kelly?

 

[Garren04]

Get Bruce on the phone

 

[mrorange211]

It is a basketball school soooo

Oh, you like hot weather and humidity. You can have that ****.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Lol! I don’t even care!! Bring me Bruce of the Texas Tech coach and let’s go! Maybe we’ll hang a banner or two!

 

[ionaVOL]

Why is this happening?

IMO, blue-blood school desperate to appease the fan base throwing money around. We don't need to be paying a bball coach $6mm.

 

[RikidyBones]

*language warning*
Heading into this coaching search like

I lived too much of my life as Leroy Jenkins. Now I have chilled lol

 

[SouthKnoxVOL]

Phil only cared about football...expect a lot of this...also expect a garbage hire for the lady Vols. He doesn't care about any other sport.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

You got you best coaching search outfit on, Bass?

I'm still playing catch up. Trying to reconcile "the Texas situation could be a sticking point" AND "but we gonna swoop in and hire Bruce", points. can't be both.

 

[RikidyBones]

Oh, you like hot weather and humidity. You can have that ****.

No I just despise the cold lol

 

[tnhunter 10]

It would be different if he was a regular to the elite 8 or even went to the final 4. But, 6 mil or 8 mil is not worth a sweet 16 bid. I like Barnes, but one championship banner does not cost 6 or 8 million a year.

 

[mrmax86]

The offer isn’t 8M a year...
They have the Barnes buy out money locked up and willing to get close to 6 a year on top of that.
He hasn’t accepted as of right now but all indicators and discussions I have had this morning now point to it taking a miracle to keep him at this point.

Oh s***

 

[ionaVOL]

They are paying him more than Chip Kelly?

How long you think Chip is gonna be there...I would bet he doesn't make it another 2 years

 

[jakez4ut]

so this is the UT athletics program in a nutshell. start feeling pretty good about ourselves, just riding along, and...........

 

[VolGee4]

Oh, you like hot weather and humidity. You can have that ****.

I would guess humidity is worse in Atlanta than Jacksonville.

 

[VolInDayton]

Love Rick Barnes but no way hes worth 8 mill a year. That's more than pretty much everyone besides Cal.

 

[VolGee4]

Lol! I don’t even care!! Bring me Bruce of the Texas Tech coach and let’s go! Maybe we’ll hang a banner or two!

Just isn’t happening.

 

[Big Gucci Sosa]

Nobody cares about the LV.

 

[titansvolsfaninga]

no...

 

[jakez4ut]

Lol! I don’t even care!! Bring me Bruce of the Texas Tech coach and let’s go! Maybe we’ll hang a banner or two!

that's not how it'll work Bass. we won't "go get" either one.

 

[chargervol]

That's true, being perfectly honest.
I love Barnes but pay shouldn't be based on how much we usually suck. Giving TN our best run, isn't like doing the same at Carolina or somewhere.
Most or ALL the other 5+ million dollar coaches have actual hardware justifying their pay.

We shouldn't pay FF money for "A lot better than TN usually is".
