Tennessee Should Consider Hiring FAU Coach Dusty May As Rick Barnes Underperforms Once Again: Guilbeau

Not saying I agree with anything that was written but it's a common narrative that UT should move on from Barnes.

Getting to the S16 without your PG and, probably, most important player is underperforming? News to me.

 

[calban]

Garbage
Most thought with the offensive limitations the SW16 was the ceiling for this team at the start of the season. Then losing ZZ? Dusty who? who is this nut.
do we need more offense? Yes. Do we need to tank the entire program with a coaching change? Hell No!!

Glen whatshisfrenchname needs to find a real job. Obviously the one he has doesn't provide the means to feed his brain cells.

He's an idiot

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Pretty much the level of idiocy I expect from an outlet started by Clay Travis.

 

[Jimmyandjoes]

This team lost a 2nd team All-SEC player and 2 time All-SEC defensive player. I keep hearing that his out of control play hurt TN. TN is better with a 2nd team All-SEC player than without. TN had no one that could fill his shoes

We would have run Dusty May out of town before this season ever happened. The man never won more than 19 games in his first four seasons. Maybe he actually is a really good coach, but it just as likely if not more likely that he is pretty “meh” and this season will ultimately prove to be a complete anomaly .

I'd like to know how Dr. Daniel J. White feels about that question.

Some if you have officially lost it

Need 2 copies of this article one to poop on and the other to cover it up with

Every year we see a coach become the hot name/flavor of the month and get a bigger job. More often that not, they fade into mediocrity. May could be one of the exceptions, but I look forward to letting Penn State or someone else find out.

He can stay as long as he wants and i think my choice long ago to replace him will still end up that way. Kim English just hired at Providence!

 

[Schasz]

Wasn't something mentioned when Coach Barnes signed after the UCLA courting his new contract that as long as he was healthy he'd probably coach 5 more years? If so, I'm thinking this is year 3 so 2 more years?

Can't believe replacing Barnes is a serious discussion among some of our "fans".

 

[Bollweevil]

We will miss Barnes after we run him off.......

The irony

It's about 95% diehard football fans who casually watch basketball.

That is absolutely about the dumbest crap I ever heard. Common narrative by a bunch of idiots on Volnation.

Barnes is in his last few years of coaching barring a miracle, it's a legitimate discussion topic. We are not firing him, but he will need to be replaced at some point. I doubt May is availble when it's time to replace Barnes. He's done a great job at FAU, which was a total disaster when he arrived. They'd only had three winning seasons in the 25 years before he started there. They have 5 straight under him. Bob Knight has arguably the best coaching tree in CBB history. May looks like another of them.

The funny part about all this is....if we're talking 3-5 years from now and Barnes is ready to hang it up, and this guy is still coaching at this high level and probably even gone somewhere else and is still great.....sure I have no problem with him being a possible replacement. But a kneejerk reaction after one good run.....yeah no.

Reminds me of people here wanting Ron Hunter of Georgia St. because GSU beat Baylor in the first round back in 2015.

Long line of failed BB coaches hired a bigger schools after a couple of good seasons at a mid-major or made one NCAA run. Cuonzo Martin come to mind?

 

[volfeeva]

Hiring Dusty May would be like the hiring of Derek Dooley when we replaced Kiffin. Having one good season is a thin resume

You're exactly right. However I don't recall Cuonzo Martin ever having a good run at Missouri State. Mike Hamilton did everything in his power to destroy every sports program at UT, especially basketball. I'd take Buzz over Clownshoes.

It's been a great time recently to build out an ignore list.

Be careful what you wish for. Barnes is pretty much an automatic to get us to the tournament each year. However, I'm am pretty much risk adverse.
