And that's where we disagree
This feels like a case where Barnes honesty about what you said here may have hurt us with Cone. With a child to support he may feel like he doesn’t have the luxury of waiting his turn to make things happen for himself and his family.Cone/Johnson/Pons/Gaines to fight for, I’m not sure how that fight ends but it’s definitely plausible Cone wouldn’t have gotten big minutes next year.
It's not that the money automatically makes him a better coach, however, the expectations that come with being the 3rd highest paid coach are that he will recruit and have results like the 3 rd highest paid coach. Definitely some concern there. It's no different than your employer expecting results if you are one of the top paid salespersons in your company.It shouldn’t be.
If Tennessee payed Barnes 500,000 fans would still want him to recruit, and do it well. If 5 million can make him recruit a lot better then why the heck not pay him 10 million.......surely he could recruit even better...............it simply doesn’t and should be a non factor in these discussions.
Sure in a couple years if Barnes cannot recruit good players something might need to be done ......but as of right now that doesn’t look to be the case and money is not a magic potion which can lure all the good recruits here............unless that money is actually going to them.

If it was a quiet, after the season raise, even if it was a big increase like this one, probably 1 percent of the people bringing it up right now would be talking about it.His point is pretty valid. If Barnes were paid a million dollars per year, UT fans would still want him to recruit well and win games. There are always expectations for a head coach no matter what they are paid. He’s not getting fired next year regardless of record or pay.
I’m confident they are taking Plavsic, maybe I end up looking foolish but I’m trusting that...that’s leaves 1 spot. I would guess they will go after a big fish, keep swinging for Kerry Blackshear or Rayjon Tucker maybe.Dang! Oh well onto the next one. This one stings but cant dwell on it. What about Isaiah Moss the Iowa PG that is transferring.
