So really, why is everyone so happy about this?
We had a coach, he was about to leave, we had to give him more money to stay, and now we still have the same coach...I mean, if the university is going to pay that kind of coin, why not just hire someone else who doesn’t have a 24-24 tournament record?[/QUOTE
FYP
If true, Fulmer is the Man. We’ve seen in football that offering money doesn’t always get your guy. I’m not sure Barnes is worth that much but It seems likely that had He left Tennessee would have ended up with a lesser coach.
Mildly overpaying for Barnes beats being in UCLA's shoes right now.
Why don't we have a buyout for posters like you? You can't actually be serious. If any additional money is involved, don't be surprised if it is for his assistant coaches and not himself. Remember, this is a head coach that self reported a minor NCAA violation because he gave one of his assistant coaches a raise out of his own pocket.So really, why is everyone so happy about this?

Should have been at least 25-23. Ball don’t lie.So really, why is everyone so happy about this?

I like coach Barnes but I totally agree he is getting paid way over market value right now. To be the third highest paid coach in the country without a national championship on his resume and without a final four at his current School it is a little much. One thing about it when you start wanting more money the expectations will go up too as they should. It's sad that we have a large percentage of the fan base that would be willing to pay the guy 10 million dollars a year just to make the tournament. It's something I've been preaching for a long time. We have a lot of fans that settle for mediocrity. And usually the least that you're happy with is the most you'll ever get. I'm pulling for Rick Barnes to get it done.I don't get the excitement for overpaying a coach (I assume). If they gave him the money in the neighborhood of UCLA's offer, we deviated from the smart move. He is not in that class.

CPF. has gone above and beyond. If anyone questions his love or best interest for all sports program should take a time out and stand back and look. He canned Holly and didn't look back. He saw Holly wasn't getting it done. He made the right call and I think Kelly will be a breath of fresh air. CPF saw a VFL and went after her. When players become coaches and can coach at their Alma mater, great things happen. I feel bad for Holly but this is a change that had to be made.
Don't know what happened to Holly but it seemed she lost the team and her edge. New blood and I feel CPF made a great hire and him locking down Barns was beyond incredible. Not sure how CJP will respond to the money given to Barnes but he should see success is rewarded. Things are on the raise on the hill.
