I think he'd be an excellent hire. I still can't see why Texas wants him gone.

He still looks like John Grisham.

I think it'd be a pretty damn good hire. Yeah I know he has that Mack Brown reputation about him with the whole "not winning as much as a Texas coach should" but it's not like the program bottomed out. They haven't been great all that much but they've been consistently good.

I mean his first season was in 1998 and he only missed the NCAA tournament once. I'd take that.

Barnes would be a fool to pass over this job. A swirl of NCAA sanctions and a fan base who ran off a coach after making the sweet 16.

Mmmmkkay. Well if you don't want others commenting on your beloved Rocky Top, maybe you should tell your Volunteer brethren to move their threads on over the the Buttchugers board.

I think he has integrity and also would bring stability. He took Texas to the tourney 16 out of 17 seasons, so I'd be totally cool with it.

If just getting to the tourney and never winning the conference is your goal... Barnes is the man for you.

Doubt anyone wins the SEC if Cal keeps signing an NBA team each year.

It is a good hire. I hope Bama gives Steve Lavin a look as well.
