Rick Barnes discussion (merged)

[berryvol]

Just off the top of my head with no research....I like Musselman at Arky. He's done well there. 2 elite 8's and a sweet 16 in 4 years. And BTW makes less than 5 million.

From the person who thought KD was responsible for Barnes F4, we have a brand new hit. This one, is “one of the best coaches in the country leaves a bigger basketball school than UT to come coach UT.” I’m in awe of your wisdom.

He's only making 4.2 million. Barnes 5.8. You think if we offer him 6.5 he says no? Money talks.

Arkansas can easily give him 6.5

they have Jerry Jones and Walmart behind them.

So why can't they find a football coach worth a damn

 

[BernardKingGOAT]

Everyone has an opinion. Sorry to get your panties wadded.

They're still loose. Stating facts isn't stressful

Why? I think I'm starting to see why you guys are so content with Barnes. You guys act like UT is the red headed stepchild of CBB and we're just lucky to be here. Ridiculous. Arkansas' coach would never come here because Arkansas was good in the 80s and 90s. Please.

There’s this thing called a “counter offer” that Arkansas would make. If you think they’re just gonna let Muss walk, you’re even crazier than I thought.

Arkansas is a better job than UT.

They are a basketball school.

 

[K-town Vol Fan]

They are a basketball school.

So only "basketball schools" are allowed to have good coaches and compete for titles. Everyone else should be glad to make the tournament. Got it.

 

[K-town Vol Fan]

Arkansas is a better job than UT.

Can you explain why

You would be amazed at what one could learn around here if you were inclined to pay attention…

 

[VolFreakJosh]

A lot of you are going to be so disappointed in the next hire when Barnes retires.

Can’t wait.

Yeah, and sorry to burst some of the bubbles for folks, but I would say he’s going to be here a good while longer.

 

[SGMVols]

Can you explain why

More wins, more Final Fours, more national titles, better recruiting territory, a better home arena…

 

[K-town Vol Fan]

More wins, more Final Fours, more national titles, better recruiting territory, a better home arena…

They have 20 more wins than us all time, 1 NC, and have been irrelevant for 30 years. You right we should bow down and appreciate their greatness.

 

[YankeeVol]

Arkansas is a better job than UT.

Not even close

 

[NEO]

LMAO

So, making the S16 last year without our All SEC starting PG is not "sniffing our true potential"?

That's some real audacious ignorance right there!

And nevermind the fact we have the most wins among SEC teams going all the way back to the 2017 season.

Yay sweet 16!!!!!
Suggest you stay away from sharp objects if this is indicative of your mental faculties.

Irrelevant for 30 years > never being relevant…

 

[K-town Vol Fan]

Such a miserable existence. No wonder y'all celebrate mediocrity.

 

[BernardKingGOAT]

Pretty ignorant to label the program as mediocre. Damn.

No rational person or organization would fire Rick Barnes to hire Musselman

I'm with you on this. Maybe Arkansas has been a little better the last 50 years but the next 50 years would be a toss up. Just two state school SEC programs on equal grounds.

 

[RavinDave]

Of course those hires were terrible. Completely different administration now. Been listening to Jethro Tull?

Thick as a brick?
