    at least UT made a decision and can actually make a move in the proper time range of doing it.

    No one in the history of mankind has ever referred to UT as "U of T."

    He's going from UT to UT.

    Sucks for him though... Going from Austin to Knoxville has gotta be a nightmare.

    UT=Texas

    Its a good hire for you guys tho. Barnes has had some success at UT. Was able to recruit some great players throughout his tenure.

    They're both UT.

    Texas is a better school no doubt and Austin is a far superior city to Knoxville (as are most cities). But we're still UT.

    That said, I'm not really a fan... I'll casually follow them, but at the end of the day I don't care if they win or lose.

    He is from North Carolina and wife is UT Alum, so Knoxville might be welcomed.

    With the state of the program, I think Barnes was as good as they were gonna get. I believe he'll get UT back to the tourney in a year or two. He can recruit. That's most of the battle in NCAA hoops.

    I think Tennessee made about as good a hire as they could with the money they had available. If Barnes can put the program back into a nice situation in 3-4 years then they should be able to get a much better coach the next time around.

    Barnes can recruit but he was the HC of Texas, where there is so so much talent. The real issue with him is actually being able to run the team and his in game coaching. Maybe being a new spot will refresh his career.
