Rick Barnes discussion [merged]

[VolsSince78]

Barnes is about to piss me off

Be mad at Barnes if you like. It’s the PLAYERS that cannot hit wide open jump shots...

 

[Border Vol]

His best days are long gone.

He isnt coming close to earning his money.

But hey - the new AD is a bball guy - pressure going to be on Barnes - no more coasting!

Barnes will retire in the next season or two and wont be fired

I bet he will pull a shocker and announce his retirement following the season

Good

 

[Border Vol]

Good

Imagine the reaction on Volnation if the next head coach was Mike White

We can do better

Total indictment on Barnes abysmal recruiting of big men that he has to post-up his freshmen to score in the paint.

 

[patrick]

Did I say he would be fired ---- I said he will get pressure. There is a huge difference!

I don't think Tennessee can hire any better since they're not an elite team and probably never will be. Tennessee will be good enough to consistently make the NCAA Tournament and that's about it.

I disagree Pearl did very well here - even better than - get this --- Barnes....

 

[Border Vol]

No Barnes sucks lately

Do you think Coach Barnes is seriously thinking of retirement and just doesn't have any fire left? Lovely moved to a thread nobody will even read

 

[VolFreakJosh]

We can do better

Sure lol

 

[1985Vols]

Sure lol

Glad you‘re enjoying the product we have been putting on the court

Saying we can hire a better coach with over 700 wins is unrealistic.

 

[patrick]

Damn commentators talking about Barnes' stories rather than his wins and/or coaching prowess. Give me a break - the guy who's right hand man said he earned the right not to go on the road to recruit.

"Say what you want about Barnes but he is a winner" Commentator just said that and went on to list his accomplishments at Texas

 

[aWhiteLoftonChism]

But hey - Barnes is a hall of fame coach - so its the players' fault!

He can’t shoot for them or make them take better care of the ball. As a coach your best teaching tool is sitting . Nothing should get your attention more than that.

Pearl was better in his 6 years here than Barnes - so does that make Pearl a hall of fame coach. Barnes' roster is a freaking wreck. and he is being gifted 5 mill a year - top 5 money in college basketball but not even top 10 results.

 

[1985Vols]

Lol. This is an embarrassment

Wonder what the Barnes worshippers will say if we somehow lose this game? Players fault?

Ah there it is... It's the players' fault not Barnes - the guy getting paid 5 mill per year. Of course, what's the matter with me - its the players' fault. Freaking coach worshippers.

Heck Pearl was better than Barnes in the same number of years at UT.

Hey man you’re just being too negative!!

 

[VolFreakJosh]

We only up 8 vs 6-12 vandy team, with half its starters out....but Bailey is doing well. He got a lot of points, he ain't playing defense tho. Our guards are getting owned around the 3pt line. Pump shine , doesn't change the fact this preseason top 10 team has problems .

I find the anti Barnes crowd are more annoying than the ones that are still behind him.

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

We lose this and Rick seat better get real hot. I am serious

 

[1985Vols]

This is beyond pathetic

I think Barnes is washed up and needs to retire
