Guess this just shows why I appreciated what Barnes did so much. SP asked him to be a Judas and dump his staff to stay. Barnes told him to shove it up his 7'5 rectum. Then Barnes thanked the school and the fans with class as he left.
I'll be pulling for Barnes with the Vols due to his time and accomplishments here. But even moreso for how he left with dignity and honor when Lerch tried to weasel it out of him.
I'll learn to love Mack again. But not all the bitter has dissolved after how he aggressively clung on and took us down deeper with him. As pointed out above, looks like Augie is gonna pull a Mack on us.
Setting us back another year while Augie gives it another shot for his own sake, not cool. He said this team had IT before the season. Then he was blindsided by the fact that instead of a CWS quality team, the reality is they weren't even playoff contenders. Any coach still on his game wouldn't miss that publicly and wildly in expectations.
Even seemed to me at the end when the playoffs were slipping away, Augie was oblivious to it. Like he believed a light would pop on and they'd make a miraculous turn-around with mere weeks to go.
Since we aren't gonna win the conf tourney if we make it, I'm almost to the point I want Baylor to sweep us and make the case stronger that it's over for AG. Greater good and all.
