Rick Barnes has emerged as a serious candidate the for UCLA job, reportedly has interviewed

[aRmo]

At 7.5 million, it is about a million dollar raise compared to what he is making now. Seems like his main priority is assistant pay.

Doesnt he have a larger assistant pool than Calapari?? From Ky?

The fact that this is out and public is a little odd. At this point with everything out there I think Barnes is gone. How can he come back when it's been made public he has one foot out the door.

If it wasn't a sour relationship before it sure would be now. I think this is likely done and just the details remain.

So if he leaves are we going to start calling him "Dick Barnes".

 

[EZE]

OMG.
"I'm praying about it." Maybe if Barnes stays we can all meet at TBA for worship and sing "I can only Imagine."

Then we should be good. It’s like praying whether one should move to Sodom.

Fwiw Feinstein just said the money is virtually equal between ucla and tenn

I wonder what that means?

OMG.
"I'm praying about it." Maybe if Barnes stays we can all meet at TBA for worship and sing "I can only Imagine."

I'll go

Hope you join me

Basilo is reporting the UCLA has offered him $5M based + bonus. Also UT buyout is 1 million per year not $5M at once...

How much of a child are you?

Who are you talking to?

 

[JMSqb11]

It’s being reported it is

At 7.5 million, he'd be making over a million more than what he is now.

 

[landscapingvol]

lol no it isn't. How high do you think taxes in CA are?

At that income level, about 40% for state and federal taxes

 

[gobravesvols16]

Barnes should ask Tee Martin what it's like living in LA

 

[jbuchanan]

So if he leaves are we going to start calling him "Dick Barnes".

"Prick Barnes"?

 

[Pepe]

Since when does a fired coach get to pick his replacement?

 

[bigdaddy]

lol no it isn't. How high do you think taxes in CA are?

State income tax and cost of living...id say that 8 mil gets you a decent home but nothing like here and well 7% state tax income...property tax close to 40%....utilities are pretty high...goods and services about 30-50% higher....so I’d say 8mil there translates to about 4.5 mil here

 

[YankeeVol]

He's going to take the job.

 

[JMSqb11]

I'm honestly surprised Barnes would even consider staying here regardless of the dealings....

Like its UCLA. Go turn the blue blood around and get paid.

 

[bigdaddy]

At 7.5 million, he'd be making over a million more than what he is now.

It’s being reported what UT is offering and U LA has offered is the same. Not his old deal here

No state has a 40% property tax. That would be a $400,000 annual tax on a $1 million home.

 

[volfanjustin]

He's going to take the job.

starting to feel that way

 

[VolAllen]

Barnes needs to take a bag of shrooms to Joshua Tree and wait until the answer comes. IMO.

 

[YankeeVol]

John Finestein (sp) was on 104.5 The Zone just now. Said its not about money, to include money about assistants. It's the draw of UCLA being a Blue Blood and that he could end his career as the one to "bring them back."

 

[volfanjustin]

Fwiw Feinstein just said the money is virtually equal between ucla and tenn

If true and he's still struggling then he should go ahead and go

 

[10ecVol]

Intuit.com reports that Cali income tax is 13.3%.

 

[BIG SEXY]

It's not been mentioned but you can bet Barnes is going to what he feels the Good Lord wants him to do

I had a wise Christian man tell me once " if you are really looking to do Gods will always pray before money is discussed when looking at a career change". That way the money does not influence your decision.

I understand that is against the worldly way of doing things.

 

[Volontario]

Lol. I’m a religious person but I agree, God doesn’t take sides in sports.

I might be missing something. Could you elaborate?
