Barnes gets contract extension through 2026-2027

Calipari, Musselman.

Musselman I'll concede is doing great. But Cal? Cal is at the bluest of blue bloods not named Duke and has the some number of NCs as Tubby Smith and hasn't been to a Final Four in 7 years.

Oh goody, you're bringing your genius from the football forum over here.

I wouldn't say genius but I have a pretty good idea.

Clearly.

hire Brad Stevens if Barnes doesn't make the Final 4 next year.

So...fire a good coach who just brought home an SECT championship based on the hope of hiring Brad Stevens. I'm sure Stevens would just jump at the idea to leave behind that cozy job he has with the Celtics to come coach college ball again. My goodness what a great idea.

Yeah, he’s going to leave his comfy job with the Boston Celtics to come here. Lol

I have been on here complaining about the postseason performance but I totally agree with this extension.

To me, this seems like a Tennessee problem just as much as a Barnes problem. We just choke when it matters. It is the same situation in Football where we can beat everyone except Alabama, Florida, and Georgia. I understand Alabama and Georgia in football but Florida is just embarrassing because they have struggled heavily lately yet we got 1 win in 16 games.

I get tired of Alabama fans bragging about Tennessee not beating them in 16 years but they do have Nick Saban who just owns the sport right now.
