For every Coach K, Izzo, Boeheim, Donovan there are hundreds who are under-qualified, continue to lose, and are fired One example does not make your point. It's as absurd as saying "stars dont matter" in recruiting by citing JJ Watt as a 2-star Sometimes a gamble pays off, more often they...

And despite his "terrible" win/loss vs ranked...Barnes RPI by year is still routinely good 14-15: 42 13-14: 37 12-13: 102 11-12: 51 10-11: 11 09-10: 29 08-09: 41 07-08: 5 06-07: 25 etc. etc. And the most recent are his "down" years, still cracking top 50

Well as indicated by their undefeated record...no one can handle Calipari

I totally get it, they want to gamble and somehow the coach turn into the next Pearl/Izzo/whoever. But you don't gamble with the type of guys we'd have to gamble with, that's like playing blackjack where "hit me" means they drop two cards at once instead of one

And not only did he make the tourney this year, he was the conference coach of the year last year. The reason people were disappointed was because expectations were so high this year, and he didn't meet them. Heck I'd just like to have expectations get that high for us

It's not like that at all and thats a bad comparison Texas & Tennessee are both powerhouse football programs, they have enough prestige where they don't have to hire leftovers of the other Tennessee basketball would be equivalent to some lower level Big 10 football team, like Purdue...

You'd hand the keys of the program to two guys who haven't even made an NCAA tournament game...yeah I don't know what to tell you

You would rather take one of the 3rd tier guys I mentioned?

People who are against Rick Barnes need to step back and take a look at the program We're just coming off two coaches fired for NCAA violations and one leaving for a lateral move. We have a tremendous ways to go to even field a competitive roster this fall, and zero identity as a program...

lol, the guy who has two seasons under his belt and zero NCAA Tournament wins?

Who do you want?

I mean Underwood is as much of a crapshoot as any other midmajor coach. You can't call those long term solutions when there is so much unknown

I got excited about their OL being full of seniors until I noticed they're all backed up by redshirt juniors

Is he visiting this weekend?

I was rewatching the Iowa game and his improvement from Vandy to Iowa, with the time off to get healthy/rest, was crazy I think last season we saw a sliver of Hurd's potential, very exciting
