UT would be wise to let Barnes walk, then grab Steve Forbes.

They wouldn’t hire him. For some reason whenever anybody that has anything to do with UT talks about Bruce you can tell they hate his guts. Not sure why.

I have been told that Rick Barnes would definitely accept the UCLA job if formally offered it.

I wouldn’t shed any tears if Barnes left. He’s never gonna sniff anything beyond sweet 16.

I love Pearl but he’s never coming back. He loves beating the university that screwed him. His wife is from east TN but goes where the money is.

Was coming here to post that.

He is the UCLA beat writer for the LA Times.

I am kinda starting to think he leaves. Just a bad feeling.

I think he stays (90%) but I can see why he would leave too:

Historically great program in UCLA. Admiral graduated,
Jordan Bone gone, and Grant Williams potentially leaving. Add in the fact he has lost one assistant for a HC gig and potentially losing a 2nd I can really see it.

It makes little sense that he'd know Barnes' mind. Barnes is getting paid, and frankly, he should be.

None of this makes any sense but if he leaves.... he better get Steve Forbes. If we got Forbes I’d be pretty damn happy.

I think we could definitely upgrade. But we frick up every coaching search so I’m sure we will downgrade.

He’s kinda leaving us in a Clownzo situation if he bolts though. That will cement Bone and Williams leaving and James won’t be coming anymore.

Yeah this is pretty bad timing. End of the carousel too. Seems like it would almost have to be Forbes.
