Rick Barnes discussion [merged]

No, it means we need to hire a coach that proves he can be successful in March. There are dozens of coaches out there that could have better success than Barnes come tournament time

Who? Offer a solution.

That means we’d be taking a risk on whoever we hire.

There’s only so many “proven” coaches out there.

Most likely White will hire an young up & comer.

Cool story?

Cool as well as reality. TN has a Hall of Fame coach but also a wretched recent history.

Yeah ... a very recent history... I completely agree! We should demand more

Prove me wrong....

No need. No interest. Your previous posts expose your hate & ignorance. Wallow in it.

Barnes is on course for delivering a high level program to build on. The longer he is here the better it will be.

Exactly. I’m in.

Tennessee isn't an elite men's basketball program and it most likely never will be. We probably need to be happy with making the NCAA Tournament every season with a run to the Sweet 16 every now and then.

A guy with a .576 win percentage at a SoCon school? That’s your great replacement for Barnes? Really? I’m glad you’re not the AD.

You are hilarious. Talk about average coaches.

Two of the best up and coming coaches out there

And sleep well tonight. Remember to check under the bed.

 

[VolFreakJosh]

Exactly. I’m in.

Up & comer isn’t exactly hiring an upgrade.

That’s kind of my point.

 

[SGMVols]

I would never give another dime to the basketball program again if they ran Barnes to hire one of those guys.

Then why did you suggest two coaches who have only one tournament APPEARANCE in 13 combined years of head coaching between them?

I’m glad you at least answered it.

Miller has only made one NCAAT in 10 years. Is that someone you would rather have than Barnes?

 

[1985Vols]

Miller is 99-40 in the last 4. 1/2 years with two conference championships and an NCAA tourney

Barnes is washed up, too set in his ways and doesn’t accept responsibility for the way his team plays

You do realize that non Power 5 schools only get in the tourney if they win their conference tourney?

 

[VolGee4]

So, we hire someone who maybe takes more responsibility for missing the NCAAT 8 out of 9 years?

How do you know he would miss the tourney at UT When more than one team from the conference gets in?

That is not true; this ain't football!

 

[MadisonvilleVol]

That’s what sh!tty coaching gets you

Tell me again Barnes vs Calipari’s record...
