Author Topic: Barnes to ucla ???

I used to play golf with him and his son yearly here in Myrtle Beach and he is a good man and a very good coach. It would suprise me to see Rick take the UCLA job were it offered. He is from Hickory NC and Knoxville Tenn is not all that far from his family in Hickory. I would be very shocked to see Rick leave Tenn for UCLA. I hope for his sake he stays at UT.

I suspect he stays with a hefty pay raise!! -------------------- ukcatfannfl Posts: 8771 | From: Inverness, FL | Registered: Jun 2001  |  IP: Logged rlt4uk Player Member # 3194 posted 04-08-2019 11:57 PM                    He's staying at Tennessee -------------------- Bleeding Blue in south Alabama.

I don't see him ever winning a title. He had a his shot to get the Vols to the final four and blew it. If UCLA managed to get him, they would regret it. I do think he is a good coach. He is not an elite coach, that will bring UCLA back to glory, Just my opinion.

UCLA better bite the bullet and go after Ricky Pitino. Posts: 10340 | From: Erlanger, Ky.

Rumor out of Cincinnati is that he was looking for contract extension/adjustment to his current contract was his biggest reason for leaving UC! -------------------- The potus is planning 1st major tax hike since '93 in next economic package!

He was really bothered by that and told a radio talk show host that. Fans here in Cincy are just weird IMO. I hope he takes them to final four just so he can say take that Cincinnati, if course not win the title. Posts: 1497 | From: Wimauma, FL | Registered: Feb 2000  |  IP: Logged
