Love that question....I'd say it's the AD Whites job that makes over a million to hire us a BB coach....How did these other schools get basketball coaches?....How did Bama get Oats? Who White hired at Buffalo....How bout Ark....how bout Auburn....how bout Texas....how bout UCLA that told Barnes to stick it but hired a coach instead that got them to the NC game?. etc...etc...etc...
Ga ron tee I could find us a coach that could get to 1 Sweet 16 in fifteen years that Barnes gets paid Top 5 money for.....Wonder if Bama would keep paying Saban 10 million per to just get to the Music City...or Belk Bowl? Now that Heupel is getting 9 million per how many Liberty Bowls in a row before he gets his ass fired?
Good answers. Let's hope it's at least how many Orange Bowls in a row for Heupel.
A fair comparison though is how many Liberty Bowls in a row does Stoops go to at UK before he is fired? He is just a tad behind Heupel at $8.6 milion. He would not only not be making that at UT, and he would have most likely been fired by now.
Is Barnes the Bball coach at a football school while Stoops is the football coach at a bball school, in which case there are different standards?
What Barnes is doing at UT may not be acceptable in terms of post season play, but he has certainly improved the product significantly. A lot like Stoops did for football at UK.
