Rick Barnes discussion [merged]

[Volnbeers]

Time to move on from barnes.

 

[1985Vols]

The man in charge has overachieved based on past Tennessee history, it’s not like he took over Kentucky. I guess those facts are lost in discussion though

How so? He’s not even matched what Pearl did

 

[mr.checkerboards]

To anyone who think next year will be better. Subtrack Keon and Jaden. Add KC. Next years team doesnt make the tourney.

 

[Volitaire]

He’s had an average career, nothing more

You’re opinion is below average so there’s that

 

[cpavol]

Barnes has done a terrible job with this year’s team.

 

[1985Vols]

You’re opinion is below average so there’s that

Wow, that was profound

 

[Volitaire]

You’re right he doesn’t have show cause on his record

We got the sloppy seconds from Texas. We are stuck with him though.

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

I dont care if they fire Barnes or extend him, Ut sports is pathetic, we hope the baseball team can finish .500 in sec play and that the Lady Vols can make Sweet 16. Football isnt relevant and basketball is spirally downhill

 

[1985Vols]

Lol Pons. Man he has digressed so much offensively

 

[Vols1891]

This is really Fulmer’s fault. He should have let Barnes take the UCLA job.

 

[DarkAvenger]

Barnes has done a terrible job with this year’s team.

At this point they’ve practiced and played consistently enough that someone can’t use COVID as an excuse. He’s been awful in game this year.

Yeah, let the idiot who hired Pruitt make the big decisions.

 

[Switch 625]

So damn sloppy!

 

[Volitaire]

Terrible job? Not making the ncaa tournament would be terrible, but let’s not have terrible opinions over a bad showing

Tennessee either gets retreads or up and comers usually.

Ask ally our entire sports program is pretty pathetic considering the salaries, buyouts , facilities and support we have. Hopefully the new AD will change this

 

[hUTch2002]

He’s the 4th best coach in UT history

Ok so it would be ridiculous to fire him now.

 

[Volitaire]

Sadly we are stuck with you on this board

 

[hUTch2002]

Overrated. He’s coached at an above-average level for a long time. He’s nothing special.

My point still stands.

 

[hUTch2002]

Im sorry but what accolades does he have...a shared regular season title in a season where he choked away the chance at the outright title, tournament title and trip to the elite 8?

Doesn’t change the point.

 

[cpavol]

Terrible job? Not making the ncaa tournament would be terrible, but let’s not have terrible opinions over a bad showing

Two lottery picks. Terrible job.

 

[feathersax]

Wow, that was profound

More so than your miserable diatribes.

 

[Boston Vol]

Terrible job? Not making the ncaa tournament would be terrible, but let’s not have terrible opinions over a bad showing

A bad showing? This is the third consecutive NCAA Tournament that Tennessee has underperformed its seed. It would be one thing if this was a one off, but this is literally the story of his career.

 

[Cdywolfe]

I don’t know where we go from here but I’m ready to admit that as long as Barnes is at the helm, that wherever we go won’t be far on the post season.
