Don DeVoe made the tournament 6 out of 11 years. Jerry Green made the tourney every year and a Sweet 16 and still got forced out. Barnes is no better than either of those two coaches. Asked on actual results.

Wow! This needs to be a post thread of its own so the Barnes worshippers can actually see the facts. I never looked this deep into the W/L % but have never been sold on Barnes being the “ savior” of our basketball program like many on here like to claim. Thanks for sharing.

I will say, I don't mean fire him ATM. He needs to win the SEC tourney or make a deep run in the NCAAs. We are at that point. Those are the only two things that should save his job.

And we all know realistically neither of those things is going to happen, unless, BHH develops into a superstar by March

Devoe made one NCAAT in his last six years. Just stop with the stupid.

Or you could spin it that he made the NCAAT 6 of 11 seasons Or they fact that DeVoe won 60% of his games at UT and one SECT championship while CRB has won 63% of his games and 1 SEC regular season championship. Not much difference between DeVoe and Barnes

85 criticizes Barnes chronically. He’s obsessed with it and it’s dumb.

As a fan , I’m tired of the continued mediocre results from a supposed Hall of Fame coach that is one of the top 5 paid coaches in the country. I just pointed out in another post that Barnes and axon DeVoe are basically equals as far as what their accomplishments are at UT

If DeVoe doesn't get matched-up against Ralph Sampson and Virginia, 2 years in a row, UT may have a Final Four or another Elite 8

For the 1,000,000,0000000 time, his salary has ZERO Effect on your personal life.

That’s DW’s job.

My personal life? That’s a bizarre statement Freak. I’m just a fan out here complaining about paying a coach the 5th highest salary in the country for the subpar results we continue to get. Has nothing to do with my “ personal” life
