Well out of the coaches that we could get there's none that would make me shite my pants extremely excited. Personally I'm leaning Will Wade and yes I'll be happy but in no way would I consider it a home run hire.

That pathetic laissez-faire attitude is exactly why they keep making the shite hires they do. Why shell out big money for a legitimate coach when the vast majority of the fan base is content with,"At least it's not the absolute worst option we could've hired."?
Preaching to the choir. It drives me insane. Are all the buyouts paid off? If so, coupled with the money being generated from the SECN and now Nike -- the excuses and bull shite are over.
The conference is slowly starting to gather some coaching talent. Hart needs to strike like he has a dick and make a decent hire or be prepared to remain in the back half of the league for the for see able future. Drives me nuts

The prestigious office of UT chancellor is more closely associated with eating boogers than the name of the person who actually holds the office.

No honestly I'm fricking sick of the the whole Dave Hart mentality. But dopey Dave is currently our AD and we can't do anything but hope for the best.

Ben Fredrickson just published this. Nothing earth shattering
quote:
Donnie Tyndall is out, and Tennessee men’s basketball beat reporter Ben Frederickson is tracking the developments of UT’s search for its next coach here on the blog, posting links to News Sentinel reporting and information from other outlets. Consider this your one-stop shop for coaching search coverage and the non-stop chatter that comes along with it. Maybe we can even have some fun along the way.
The idea of fired Texas coach Rick Barnes jumping from one UT to the other has moved to the forefront of the discussion. Barnes’ resume includes a Final Four appearance in 2003, along with 16 NCAA tournament trips in 17 seasons with the Longhorns. He’s a strong recruiter who landed 10 first-round draft picks since 2011. Barnes is originally from Hickory, North Carolina. His wife, Candy, is a Tennessee alum, according to theNBCSports.com report that said the Tennessee job “absolutely” belongs to Barnes if he wants it. Barnes didn’t always deliver on the high expectations Texas desires, but his program was stable, something Tennessee desperately needsThe Texas job being open changes the landscape considerably. Just ask Alabama, which was reportedly gearing up to throw big money at Wichita State coach Gregg Marshall. That chance might be gone now. Marshall has reportedly been eyeing the Longhorns for some time. Texas is now offering the most appealing vacancy. It will trickle down to affect other hires.Something to note: Barnes is 60. Belmont coach Rick Byrd is 61. Just pointing it out. You can’t say one is too old and not the other.Bobby Hurley (Buffalo) and Bryce Drew (Valparaiso) both want the DePaul job “badly”, according to the Chicago Tribune. The report says Hurley interviewed yesterday. Drew will interview today.Louisiana Tech’s Michael White sounded like a guy not interested in moving in this recent interview. But what is he supposed to say? White lost three senior starters from last season’s team. Fran Fraschilla thinks White, who turned down an offer from the Vols last season, would make a great fit at UT or Alabama.Speaking of UT and Alabama, Pat Forde seems to think Minnesota’s Richard Pitino is interested in coaching the Crimson Tide. Pitino has also been linked to the Vos. The likely connection for both is C.M. Newton. He was Hart’s basketball coach at Alabama, then hired Pitino’s father while he was the Kentucky athletic director. Pitino’s buyout is $1.5 million if he leaves before April 30, 2016. That’s three times what UT paid for Tyndall’s buyout last season.UT is not expected to announce the name of the search firm it is working with to make the hire. It hired Parker Executive Search in Atlanta for the hires of athletic director Dave Hart and former men’s basketball coach Cuonzo Martin.What did I miss? Let me know on Twitter (@Ben_Fred

I'm starting to come around to the idea of Barnes. I don't think its a home run or anything of that nature but I do think he would have Tennessee as a tourney team quite often. He's from North Carolina and his wife is a UT alum. I could see him being in Dollar Store Dave's price range.
I doubt he would ever do anything of real substance here though considering he had a ton of talent most of the time at Texas and rarely went deep in the tourney.

Rucker just threw this up about Barnes. Dollar Store Dave
quote:
think Barnes is the sort of guy Tennessee could use right now, and I think Tennessee understands that.
From what I hear, if Tennessee has legit interest in Barnes -- and it does -- then Barnes will have plenty of interest in Tennessee.
The biggest question I have about Barnes is simple: Did being fired from a job he loved reignite his recruiting fire? If it did, Tennessee should hire him without blinking. If it didn't, he's not as good a hire, but he's still someone who brings stability, respectability and improved talent to Tennessee for a few years.

There seems to be a lot of smoke around this now.
Barnes could be the safe hire that Hart needs to make with everyone calling for his head now
