I like him because he's done a great job with the lesser know sports and it seems that, as of now, he's made a really good football hire and is pumping money into things not named mens basketball.

So you don't hold the Joker Phillips hire against him? I post on the UK Rivals site (football and baseball only - hate the Raftards) and there was a lot of hand-wringing when Joker was named the "coach-in-waiting." It continued over the next three years and got more shrill as he steadily drove the program into the ground, undoing everything Rich Brooks had built up. How could so many fans see it coming but Barnhart couldn't? Our collective answer - his ego blinded him.
