Rick Barnes Is Staying

He will hire Steve Alford now.

 

Rick Barnes gets fat raises for him and his staff and stays at Tennessee: iT wAsN’t AbOuT mOnEy¡!¡!¡!¡!

 

It seems the logical thing would be for Wes to report what it was about, if he's so certain that it wasn't money.

 

4.7 million is what I heard. could we have done better with that than Rick?

Hard to pry away a successful coach. I will say that.

At the same time. Don’t let Grant Williams’s and Admiral Schofield’s recruiting ratings fool you. They’ll be hard to replace. I think it is fair t say that Barnes got a little lucky with them. Grant, because he is a top 3 player in America. Admiral because of his leadership

 

Never thought I’d see the basketball coach make more than the football coach at the University of Tennessee

How's her turd cutter?

 

So once again, wikipedia was right.

 

It’s like some of y’all just don’t even WANT to be happy....

 

I mean...I’m one of those people who posts on 8thmaxim.com.

 

Pinches loaves like a baker

 

We're overpaying, but I think it's the right thing for the program.

I would have made a few calls if I was Phil with that kind of money on some big names though.

 

either we are just ahead of the pay curve or we bought a couple more years towards building a top roster. it isn't overpaying when he still isn't top in the conference and we would be paying anyone that in a couple years anyway.

there's less value in losing him at this moment.

 

I would have to think that this wont last long, especially if we have a decent year this coming year.

 

and we will, so it won't

 

My thoughts exactly. As soon as the team gets back from whatever bowl game we’re about to win Pruitt will be getting G’d up appropriately.

 

Hundred times better than posting on twatter

 

Honestly glad knowing that we’re willing to do it if circumstances dictate.

 

Who would have thought Phillip Fulmer would be the AD to pay the basketball coach more than football.

Fulmer has been an A+ athletic director

 

He is an AD who can't be questioned on that by boosters or board. it's the privilege of his legacy that a career office guy wouldn't have.
