When he first got here I liked him. I was so happy when he won the SEC reg season title. But our fans who think he walks on water is what's makes me hate him. Barnes is fine when he has several days to prepare, but when it comes to in game coaching and quick turn arounds he lacks horribly. Honestly if you look at his history at TN he's really only had one year he exceeded expectations. The others he's barely met them or underwhelmed. Half our fanbase pretends he beats prime Rupp at UK when in reality he faces a good cheater and a sub par schematics guy. Half our fan base wants to put him in the same league as Roy W, Coach K, Self etc...... Barnes isn't close to those guys he's at least 2 rungs below.Right up there with backup cameras, running water and sliced bread as far as strange things to have extreme beef with.
Wow, you can hate him if you wanna, but that's really a childish reason to hate him. Half the fans love him, so I'm going to hate him. Sounds like, if you were my son, you are getting an ass whooping, for being petty. But, you be youWhen he first got here I liked him. I was so happy when he won the SEC reg season title.
