When was the last hire you did see upside with? No flame...just curious.

Moving from Austin to Knoxville would be rough.

You know what you're gonna get with Barnes... solid... will get u to the tourney but he's not winning you a national championship or multi final fours.

That's not a bad thing.... But you're not hiring the next coach K.

I saw some upside with Cuonzo.

Tyndall I thought had some as well but we didn't see really what he was capable of on the recruiting trail

So who exactly would you realistically want Tennessee to go get that is better than Barnes?

You could do a lot worse than making 2 million a year in Knoxville, Tennessee.

Just because he gets made fun of constantly, doesnt mean he is a shite coach. He'd be a good hire for tennessee, mainly because of his ability to acquire talent

I say sign him up at this point. He could do really well in the Atlanta and Memphis area with a track record of guys like Durant. Our dumpster is on fire and beggars can't be choosers. I think a fresh start for Barnes at a place like Tennessee could yield decent results.

This is a guy who could not make the 2nd weekend with DJ Augustin and Kevin Durant.

He's made 16 out of 17 tournaments at Texas. Who would you rather have?

I know. Moving to a nice small city in one of the most beautiful areas of the country sounds horrible. And then to coach in an NBA arena..........oh the humanity!

TN is a favorite state of mine. So many nice areas there. Would be my first choice to move to over Texas if my wife would get on board, but I do love Texas and she does to so that is a place I am trying to get to.
