The Official Rick Barnes discussion thread

[floridavol25]

This is Barnes last year .. this team is charmine soft with leads

 

[VFL1127]

Real good play call Barnes! Retire already!

 

[JMSqb11]

This is getting old. I’m sick to my stomach because I don’t want Barnes to leave while he still has the fire but this slowly sliding is maddening.

 

[LordVOLdemort]

We give life contract and this is what we get…. Is that 5 games now where we blew huge leads?

 

[Von Shuler]

Barnes. Retire already.

 

[SicEmSmokey33]

2nd half Rick strikes again

 

[Carl Pickens]

Barnes. Retire already.

Get off the dope

 

[Volnbeers]

He needs to retire.

 

[2EastTnVols]

Again, I love Rick and what he's done for the program but I won't shed a tear when he hangs it up.

You’ve been here since 2018….

Relative to how long some of us have been around, you are who youre talking about.

I’m not saying Rick has been great in tight games this season. He’s had some perplexing lineups and substitutions at times that I think have hurt us. At some point, though, players have to make plays. No coach can hold his team’s hand through an opponent making a run. You can use your timeouts and harp on things that need to be harped on, but players have to hold up their end to win close games.

 

[Von Shuler]

I admire and respect CRB but this is a young coach league and he needs to hang it up.

If you thought for one second you’d realize I was talking about posting in the basketball forum specifically, and saying the Venn diagram between people who hate Barnes and people who don’t pay attention to the basketball program except to complain is a circle. Or maybe you wouldn’t have realized and I’m giving you too much credit. Either way congrats on feeling like a big man for … being on a message board for a long time, I guess

 

[VolFreakJosh]

You can tell who the low IQ posters are in this thread

 

[Dergibvol]

Rick has lived and died in the portal the last couple years. Dying a slow death this year.

 

[Pennheel]

This is a huge off year for Barnes. If he's in the same situation this time next year after hitting the portal then whether he continues at Tennessee will be a topic of conversation.

 

[Skooter]

We took 22 more shots. Barnes didn’t take any of them.

 

[DarkVolder]

Get off the dope

Well i mean Rick is 72 this year how many coaches coach past 70 years of age.

I got what you were saying. It was a pretty simple, straightforward jab. I don’t hate Barnes but I’m definitely getting tired of the same shiz year after year. A lot of times, I don’t come here til after basketball games bc they are fast paced and the forums have gotten a lot worse in recent years for dumb comments, in general.

But I think you failed to see my point. I think of you and your dumb comments the same way you think of the people you were talking about.

There is no scenario in which his tenure here ends any other way than on his terms.

You will about 2 years after he does it.

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

The problem with Barnes retiring is not when, it’s that Danny White will be doing the hiring.

Nah
