I vote for the SF Austin guy or the Butler guy or one of the Hurley guys.

Barnes or Byrd to stop the bleeding
Crean only if Indiana waives the buyout to get rid of him

Hart got lucky when Strong didn't take the bait and Butch fell into his lap. Donnie was a desparate hire after White left Dave aline at the alter.
Somehow Hart surprised everybody with the Gator Bowl bid. I'd be surprised if Dave upgrades over Tyndall.

My first choice is Bobby Hurley, based on his hard nosed get out of my way attitude as a player and his learning under the best ever in Coach K.
But when all is said and done I expect UT to hire Will Wade of UTC. He will be cheap, nearby, and he is making less than $200K per year at UTC. UT will be able to get him "cheaply" at around $1 million per year, and cheap is UT's MO.
That said, to increase his salary 5 fold per year with a 5 year contract will be a no brainer for Wade.

talked to a lot of people who want Barnes. his resume is exactly what ut says they want.
if Im hart Im calling Derrick Clark at Metro State to find out how the hell he is winning 80% plus of his games. seems like he has a winning formula. Im sure a div II coach is just not sexy enough for hart to consider though.
but like gramps said. cheap is the UT MO and Wade is safe hire at a bargain price.
so with all that said, Welcome back to knoxville Rick Byrd.

Wasn't Donnie making $1.6 and Bruce $1.9. Or maybe $1.9 was CDT's offer. Not exactly cheap. Maybe mot stupid money for a coach, but not chrap IMO. Then buyouts need to be factored in for both sides.
I wouldn't be surprised if it's Barnes (just fired) or Lavin. I will be surprised if it falls to Wade.
I think that thr Butler boy was already interviewed... maybe even offered.
I'd like to see Texas get Wichita and Alabama settle for Murray State. Then TN gets SF Austin, Butler, or one of the Hurleys.

Very neat to see it getting fucking worse every GD change.
Lemme me clear here--if you are one of these fuckfaces out there beating the drums for Barnes all weekend you are a bitch, a moron, I have no respect for you, you've clearly not watched a Texas BBall game in 10 years, and you are 100% the problem why this AD sucks ass.

Cowboy, Barnes would be a good choice at this point in time. He can recruit, he gets decent results, and he would give some much needed stability & credibility... and he just might be the best available that would agree to take the job, which is sort of important.
I would love to see Archie Miller, but I don't think that is realistic right now.

I would love to see Archie Miller, but I don't think that is realistic right now. 1) He isn't going to recruit to UT anywhere close to his clip at Texas. 2) PAY SOMEBODY THE MONEY. It can't be that hard.

For where UT is right now, Barnes is a good choice. He recruits well, wins, has no NCAA trouble, will bring stability to a program in a mess right now. Had Barnes been available last year, I still would have taken Howland over Barnes. But Howland is off the market.

My, my that is efficient. The ink wasn't even on the paper to get dry before TNCowBarneThroe has his meltdown. Epic!
