Irrational Rick Barnes takes (merged)

[Volsfaninva917]

You seem to have hurt feelings.

Not at all! I'm good regardless

 

[Volsfaninva917]

Pushing a coach out, after completing the best season in Tennessee basketball history, would be epically stupid.

You're a fist fight in a phone booth guy, watch

 

[BernardKingGOAT]

If you say so

It's not just him that says so. The thousands that forgot more about the game than you know about it, have said so

 

[Zues1]

I'll say this, Rick wanted it as bad as anyone of us did. I'm not sure I've seen him as animated and working the officials in any game before.
It fell on deaf ears but he was in the game.

Dude is the most obvious troll on this site.

He’ll probably get banned soon.

Cool!

 

[Volfan1000]

Tennessee did not have an answer for Edey and our bigs only scored 4 points in this game.

 

[BallinVol]

I don't, it's strictly opinion, just like yours. Didn't realize it would hurt your feelings so bad

You seem like the type to consider John Calipari as Barnes successor...

Or maybe VN can start putting blue check marks next to the trolls’ names.

He is a Sweet 16 coach who is responsible for 50% of our school Elite 8 appearances.

If you’re gonna call him a Sweet 16 Coach, then call us for what we are, we’re an NIT college basketball program.

Ask Candice Parker, ask Bruce Pearl, ask anyone who knows basketball.. he’s a hall of fame coach. He is putting us in the fight consistently and giving us the best odds in program history to actually compete and win.

If you want to fire him I see you are being foolish at best. This was the best program we’ve likely ever fielded and we had a great year. Three wins away from a National Championship is always a good year in my book.

I agree with everything you said except the part where I want Barnes fired

 

[SGMVols]

He's earned the right to leave whenever he wants.

I honestly think he might after next year. I sense that he felt this was the best team he was going to have here at his age. He loves Z and Shack too much to leave them hanging going into their last year though.

Yikes, he'll be somewhere else by then

 

[iBleedOrangeWhite]

Can we delete this thread already?

Yeah, let’s just silence speech we disagree with!

You guys think anyone who has a different opinion is a troll, that's pretty simple minded

 

[PEPPERJAX]

He'll be 70 in July, it's time

It’s probably about time you start watching soccer and leave basketball to those that have a set. GOAL!!!!!!

 

[Volhoops]

Barnes is TN’s most successful NCAAT coach. Learn some history before posting idiotic comments.

But where are the NCAA championships or even final four appearances ? Before you answer Bama is in the final 4 and Barnes is not. Does that make the Bama coach hall of fame too ?

Not a fan of soccer, just can't get into it.

If it's better than UT, good for him. Barnes is in good shape and still seems to have the fire in him. He's coaching in that manner. He can stay longer and it's nothing but a great thing

Never said fire him by the way but I feel he needs to make a decision. A 75 year old isn't going to find much success

No. All that needs to happen is to read your posts to see the trolling and simpleton comments.

 

[BigOrangeMojo]

We played a team that was a matchup nightmare for us. If we got out West, we are likely in the Final 4....

Aidoo and Awaka didn't take that step up this year. Ultimately, that was the Achilles heel....

We beat his ass twice this year. We weren't playing Clemson, in case you didn't notice. Keep setting me up on the extra long tee
