re: This is a Kennedy problem. Not a talent problem

Those seven years were still more successful than 7 under Kennedy though.

I'm not trying to pretend Kennedy has been wildly successful. He's had success but I feel like he has greatly under achieved at times. However, I sat through several games of Rod Barnes coached teams and no he was not more successful than Kennedy. He took over a NCAA tourney caliber team and couldn't sustain it. Barnes also was coaching in an SEC that didn't have this national perception that the conference sucks, and he was able to get in to the tournament with a 20-13 (8-8) and a 20-11 (9-7) team. Kennedy had at least one maybe two teams better than that that didn't get in.
