How Much More Money Danny?

How many more of my dollars will you take for another subpar, underperforming product? ROI is nonexistent here. Please take more of my money though, please.

-Still stuck in a parking garage I was never stuck in this long before DW got here.
The emotional and reactionary rants of the entitled fan. Would you have posted this had they hung on to a narrow win yesterday? That one game yesterday was indicative that our basketball team has underperformed under Barnes?

Wanting a return on investment doesn’t necessarily equate to being entitled. It’s also the exact same sentiment being shared by many big-money boosters and not just at Tennessee. My apologies for not being so perfectly stoic as yourself. Go Big Orange.

Ok, fair point. But you’re a fan of a university that has multiple basketball & football titles since the turn of the century. And your AD shuffles coaches out the door at a high rate trying to get the next title asap. So preaching contentment to Vol fans seems a little strange.

So, your telling me Tennessee hasn’t fired a bunch of head coaches this century due to poor performance?

No, I'm telling you it's weird that you are on a TN forum telling us to be content with what we have. While FL has what, 3 basketball titles and 2 football titles in the 2000s?

My point was Barnes' performance as coach has easily met and exceeded expectations. He certainly has exceeded ROI while leading this program

Vols fan in Aggieland. When R. C. Slocum was coach, the Aggies had an AD named Wally Groff. Slocum had a great record, but couldn’t win the big games. The fans were calling for a change, but were still filling the seats, so Groff felt no change was needed. Fans started calling him Wallet Groff. Eventually he forced to resign when Robert Gates became president and felt Groff was not doing his job. Maybe White needs someone looking over his shoulder.

My frustration comes from wondering how many of these athletes want to be at Tennessee? How many are just here because we wrote the biggest check? I had to pay a 10% premium to get my season tickets for football and basketball, I’m not so sure I’m getting my moneys worth from the biggest benefactors of that ptemium.
If there is one thought of comfort, it’s that all those UK fans that filled the arena, where paying for our athletes

We’re pretty much even in baseball (with TV as coach, anyway,) but they’ve blown past us in other sports pretty quickly under his watch. That can’t be denied.

Vandy had 1 historic season with the best QB they’ve ever had, who is gone now. I’d pump the brakes crowning Vandy before seeing what Lea does without Pavia.

Vandy basketball has now dropped 2 in a row after they started playing real teams. So agian let’s see how good they really are.

Baseball they’ve been solid over 20 years so that’s still the only one they’ve proven they are great in consistently.

Its not so much Pearl. Its the style he brought here that was so much more exciting to watch.
Our crappy offense this season is better, per KP, than any offense Pearl put on the court in his time here. This will be CRB’s 4th offense that tops pearl’s best offense here, per KP. I’ll never understand people making this complaint when we’ve objectively been better on both ends of the court, consistently, under Barnes. Is the style you all want to play just being worse, quicker?

Lol oh you know 100% it’s Pearl; some of you can’t move on.
Cant move on? At least i can accept that Barnes wall or ceiling has been met. He isnt getting us to a Final Four. And i have moved on from Pearl. I only said i wish we still had Pearl because of the style of play he brought was fun and he never settled for one ball handler or just one guy who could shoot the damn ball. What Barnes has done has been incredible and should never be deminished. But unless he changes his style we will never get to a Final Four. This team has so much talent but for some reason they just haven't meshed. Team chemistry is off or something.

Someone with a twitter account should tell Dollar Danny that about Vandy. I would love to see his reaction.

Um no...you haven't. You 100% haven't, because if you actually had you never would have brought his name up at all and you wouldn't have started with "Flame away I wish we could get Pearl back."

Now you're backtracking acting like you meant you just miss his style; but if that's what you actually meant, you would have said that. And if you had gotten no pushback you wouldn't be backtracking. Also this is hardly the first time you've pined for Pearl.

If you dont mind i will have my opinions just like you are entitled to yours

And now the victim card, nobody said a word about you having an opinion; everyone is commenting ON your opinion. If you dont' want your opinion criticized, then maybe keep it to yourself. Otherwise, it's fair game.

Nobody brought up Pearl but you.

You claim you’ve moved on but that’s a lie.

15 years since he’s been gone.

GET OVER IT.

I don’t disagree that Barnes has been phenomenal for us. Not in the camp of those who are against him. However, we do need to remember that DW walked into the Barnes situation. Nonetheless, I applaud his successful efforts to retain him.
 
I guess White was supposed to have infiltrated Vandy athletics and sabotaged them? Begged their boosters not to spend money? Knee capped Diego Pavia?
Should have tagged along with Pavia to get the rule changed on JuCo. Either force the NCAA to disqualify Pavia or allow everyone 4 years of NCAA.
