Has it been posted that Barnes said that buyout is the only reason he is not at UCLA?

When asked directly if he would have left if UCLA had covered the buyout, Barnes said, "I think I would have been the coach at UCLA."

Sorry for the Germans. I did a quick scan, but didn't see a thread. Must have missed it.

does ANYBODY want to coach at 10RC?

It would be more concerning if he said he'd stay in Knoxville versus Westwood money being equal. At least we know he isnt an idiot.

So UCLA wasn't going to pay his buyout at UT? That's really really dumb on their part. Why even bother to offer the guy at all if you aren't going to foot the entire bill for getting him?

It was a huge buyout. Like 5 million.

It’s the same reason they passed on Jamie Dixon at TCU too. Didn’t want to pay his buyout.

Yeah, that's not exactly pocket change, but if they weren't willing to pay it, they were just pissing in the wind from the start with him.
When you want your guy, you go and get your guy.

It's almost like coaches let money influence their decisions.

It’s the Barnes VFL thread

To be fair, he also said God wanted him to stay at Tennessee.
