at the end of this season. Belmont's Casey Alexander should be hired to coach the Vols.

Thread posting privileges should be suspended.
Good grief.

Wake Forrest coach or UCF coach our next coach

Barnes has a big house on the beach in SC by a fancy golf course. Don't temp him

Love Forbes. It would break my heart to have to cut a buyout check to Currie.

[Voltopia]

Ah yes, I too hate signing five star recruits and beating Kentucky every year.

 

[PandamoniumReigns]

Jeff Bezos should sell Amazon for 1 Million Dollars.

Bama should fire Saban and admit the total dollar amount their players have been given in the past 20 years.

This is the dumb idea thread, right?

Maybe you don't like that four of the top 7 highest ranked recruits at UT since 2000 came from Barnes...or that he took 3* guys and turned them into NBA players...or that we're pretty universally looked at as in the top 3 programs in SEC year over year. Yeah, let's get him to retire so UTAD can figure how we can get more with less, as we have in football.

 

[BigOrangeVols]

Lmao

 

[BigOrangeVols]

I would die for Rick Barnes

Incredibly dumb take

 

[Franklin Pierce]

Rick Barnes coached teams, since the 2007-2008 season (Texas and Tennessee), have ONE Sweet Sixteen appearance.

 

[john01]

Barnes is the best coach we've had here in the last 20 years regardless of sport. hes a class act. We should be proud to have him. Great testimony.

 

[Border Vol]

I'm ready for a new coach. UT missed a great opportunity when he didn't go to UCLA.

UT is always hiring coaches after a coach has failed and been fired.

Just one time I'd like to see UT hire a coach when a program isn't in distress and the job is seen as very desirable and someone good wants the job.

Maybe you are on the wrong board... I hear UK's coach needs replacing given their year and player rankings
Maybe 1200DumbestPostingIndividual is the best a blue troll can do

BRUUUUUUUUUUUUCEEEEEEEE PEARL!!

Bruce, I'm surprised you remembered your password. Things getting a bit toasty down south?

 

[Johnnyreb#VFL]

I’ll save you a lot of trouble OP. How about we go out back, I’ll kick you in the nuts, and we’ll call it a day??

 

[therealitytheory]

Two years ago we were #1 in the nation.....for the whole month of January. We've been top ten for a major part of this season. 3 5-stars on the roster and maybe the best of them all signed for next year.

I feel dirty even posting on this thread.

 

[therealitytheory]

CRB and I have the same problem - we make too much money to retire.

 

[VOLnVANDYland]

Let’s revisit this thread in late March...

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Before Bruce Pearl, Tennessee Basketball was middle of the pack and rarely got national attention. We all saw what happened during the Tyndall year and Counzo years. Is this season a little underwhelming? Sure. But Rick Barnes is arguably one of the best, if not THE best, coaches in Tennessee basketball history. When have we ever had a team #1 in the national polls for 5-straight weeks? Before 2018, never.

So, yeah. Let's run off a future Hall of Fame coach. It would be the Tennessee way.

Nobody here cares about what he did at Texas from 2007-2015. He took over a program without much talent and his 3rd and 4th seasons in 2018 and 2019 were very good. Players developed and maximized their full potential and we won a lot of games... but we did have two excruciating losses in the NCAA Tournament. That's the way it goes in college basketball. See the careers of Ray Meyer and Gene Keady. Should we take a chance on another coaching search? Hell no.

A thousand or more NCAA coaches have zero.

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

And bounced in the Sweet Sixteen

TN has won in the Sweet 16 once in its history. Barnes has done it twice.
