I hope all the snowflakes can answer honestly. Don't give me the "He lost so much talent" BS. So do other teams. I want to hear your excuse for being lazy and showing no hustle for this team. Is that not reflective of the coaching? Don't all the top tier coaches lose a lot of talent every year to the NBA. Especially the ones making Barnes money. I can't wait to hear the excuses. The floor is yours. The way I see it Barnes has always had one good year followed by a mediocre years. It's his MO. Anyone care to disagree. He didn't leave Texas because he was killing it. No, I don't want Pearl back at UT, but you can't deny his teams play with more intensity. BBbbbut Barnes has a good class coming in next year. Until they perform on the court i could give a crap. To me a great coach does more with less talent. Barnes never has. If this ruffles your feathers, too bad. Barnes is a good coach. But some act like he has competed for NCAA titles consistently. He has not. I'm of the opinion that if he could't win a title with Durant he ain't gonna win a title. They were 30-6 last year. No SEC title. Pearl got to the final 4. But to some fans here and elsewhere, just making the tournament is good enough. BS. I don't think just making the NCAA tournament is good enough for the other coaches making his salary. Why is it okay with Vols fans? Excuses coming from you all in...3,2,1. Barnes will never justify that salary unless he wins a title. He played UT and you know it.

No

It's interesting that you ask a question, then get completely defensive before anyone even replies to it. Troll.

JFC. You’re exhausting.

Right?   :dielaughing:

Not defensive. Just stating my case. Of course I should know what to expect here. Troll my ass. Answer it honestly. Why does it butt-hurt people so much to be honest about the job he does compared to others making the same money. calling someone a troll is the wussy way to respond. Answer the effing question. Nevermind...we can't handle the truth...lol Just passing time till football season.
Barnes is the 4th highest paid coach. A lot of coaches making lot's less have better results. But he's got a good class coming in. I bet most of the ones on this list do too.

did you mean JFQ? Not seen that one before.... :naughty:

That's an easy question to answer: all D1 coaches are overpaid, imo.

Having said that, it is what the market demands. I know that you'll disagree, and that's ok, but to judge Barnes and his worth to the program based on this season is premature, I think.

To rehash old news, this team is in a sense an aberration - the losses of Grant and Bone were completely unforeseeable and the impact of losing Lanier could end up being more important than anyone knew. Moving forward I think CRB will be, and should be, under a much more powerful microscope but to adjust that scope to the highest magnification looking at this year seems to me to be short-sighted.

Just my $0.02 worth.

Maybe I should talk crap about them more. They played with hustle and intensity last night. That's all one could ask. I was just butt-hurt because a couple of games they played lazy and with no hustle. If they continue to hustle I have no problem with them. Lack of effort is inexcusable.

Okay I gave up and googled it.  I thought you meant Just fizzleing Quit and made a typo, but I now see that you are invoking the name of our Lord and Saviour.    :naughty:
