Rick Barnes discussion (merged)

[EaglesVols91]

It’s disappointing as hell. But the analysis in here is just dumb in most cases.

I’m not sure why we are supposed to accept disappointment. Sure, Barnes has kept us relevant and can recruit good, but he’s nowhere near the coach Pearl is. If we would have kept him then we would have made at least a final four by now which is what he already did at auburn

They lost to a 9 seed. Where were they supposed to go? This is non sense

Actually it’s not nonsense. Sorry that you’re having such a hard time with it.

 

[djohnnyg]

The Barnes Wall (c). You can't go beyond it.

 

[tnvols72]

Rick can’t ever put a team this deficient on offense on the court again. There wasn’t one player on this team you could count on to go get you a bucket.

This is all on Barnes as far as offense goes. This is his baby

 

[Jxn Vol]

Lol some of you are terrible fans and supporters. Making the sweet 16 is not a terrible year.. We have no true PG. Barnes has done about all he can with this group. They got beat. Sure some of the calls and lack of were garbage. Will always have trash calls. Congratulate them and move on to next year. Hopefully we have some guys working on shooting

It’s on Barnes that his number 1 PG is undersized and he doesn’t have another one ready. Sad

Sorry but Barnes got his ass kicked by Dusty May. He just simply schooled him. How do you not have your guys ready to play? Rebounding is effort.

You didn't answer my question. I don't think I'm the one without reading comprehension. Where's a 9 seed supposed to go?

Exactly. There’s no excuse other than they choked. And it’s becoming a common theme. It is what it is. Live in denial all you want people. I’m not saying fire Barnes because quite frankly who are we gonna go get thats head and shoulders better? But it’s starting to be painful to watch this. It’s painful because of how much I do like Barnes and the way he runs the program. I want to see him succeed more than anybody but dude doesn’t have it for whatever reason. It’s baffling.

 

[Other_Guy]

Don’t worry, this thread it got merged with is pretty much exclusively stupid

You mean the one I said Barnes is a sweet 16 coach and I'm very happy that Tenn is a sweet 16 team but I'm tired of pretending they're anything more?

 

[VolsAgainstTheWorld15]

Lol logically? How far are 9 seeds supposed to go? It’s Florida Atlantic for Gods sake

Have fun with your nonsensical Barnes bashing tonight, Eagle.

They’re supposed to lose in the first round. What’s your point?

 

[zaqhhh]

How much for Coach May?

 

[BigALWiLson]

It’s on Barnes that his number 1 PG is undersized and he doesn’t have another one ready. Sad

Maybe you should be the coach....

Its why he was fired at Texas. The idiot cares too much about defense and nothing about offense. He's not the answer that will break through.

I’m better at my current job than Barnes is at his.

 

[JCP201]

I’m not sure why any offensive minded player would come here. I like Barnes but this offense has been like this for several years now.

Barnes have had offensive teams with Grant and Admiral-- It's not his fault. He creates great teams. I prayed he would win mostly so I didn't have to hear so called fans yell that he needs to be fired or he's not a good enough coach.

 

[hardyemt_p]

Fahr Rick!!!!

 

[mr.checkerboards]

So if the seeds say TN should be in the sweet 16, and they're playing a team that should've lost in the first round, then they should win correct? So the numbers say this is another failure.

 

[zaqhhh]

Loyola, FAU, Oregon State, Michigan

All 9 seeds or higher! And all advance over us

 

[EaglesVols91]

Have fun accepting mediocrity. This is the ceiling with Barnes. If you have no aspirations for a final 4 then so be it, but some of us do. Barnes NCAA Tournament record speaks for itself and isn’t going to magically get better next season

Flipping burgers ain’t a hard job

If he was a good enough coach he would have gotten us past the sweet 16 once in the last 8 years, but he hasn’t.

Career choker.
