Set to make $2M+ per Volquest. Will be the 3rd or 4th highest paid coach in the league.

Press conference will be either tomorrow evening or Wednesday.

Barnes has been in Knoxville since Sunday night.

I like that you linked to an ESPN ranking of top college basketball coaches in attempt to make your point. That very list actually proves my point and has Marshall as a top 10 coach.

Marshall ranked 8th best cosch in nation
I never said Marshall wasn't a top 10 coach. Try to keep up with who posted what.

Damn, 2M...that's a bit steep, I thought we could get him in the 1.8 range.

I was wondering if he his buyout from Texas would be reduced if he took a HC job based on that salary.

If so I thought maybe would could get him for 1.5 since he will be getting his buyout anyway and would want to stick it to Texas.

He may get his buyout no matter what though and makes that a moot point.

According to Hyams, we have reached an agreement with Barnes.

Great hire by Hart, IMO

Why? Because we won't get Rick Barnes?


You'll be way behind. Bama tipped their hand too early, gave Wichita weeks to come up with a deal. He's just using you to get a raise.

Now you're gonna be scraping the bottom of the barrel.

Barnes is a safe hire. He'll steady the ship in Knoxville and get Tennessee to the dance.
