^ I said this one another thread. Turns out I was wrong. They were fired the same way.
There is a better way to fire both than "hey you are coming back next year........ NOT!" It also sounds like the demand to fire assistants was not genuine.
This can mean one of only three things:
1. Patterson is a jerk.
2. Patterson is incompetent at handling firings.
3. Patterson honestly intended for both to come back, Bill Powers fired both and Patterson really had no say/was just the messenger.
My money is on 3.
I do not care if you like or dislike Brown or Barnes. It does not matter. It does matter that our athletic department has handled firing both of them poorly. It does matter on how it reflects on UT and the perception we are creating among coaches.
