Barnhart is the Problem

[morgousky]

He really said that? Please tell me you made that quote up.

Drunken stupor. I've relapsed.

Goodness. How in the world is this guy still employed?!?

I hope he administration realizes that college athletics is a business now, so it must be run like a business. I know this has been said many times on here, but if the CEO of a company lets it's 2 largest profit producing products flounder this long, they get fired IMMEDIATELY by the board.

This needs to happen in this scenario. Mitch has to go before Stoops or another Stoops will be the replacement.

Technically I never said he said that. In my defense. From reading I had a long night.

WHAT!

That piece of HUMAN DEBRIS tried to bring Syria into this?

Oh. My. God.

Fire his sorry *** NOW.

Ok he's bad but that was totally my dumb *** trying to get an Aleppo reference. Total facepalm. I blame makers.

"well, I think this team has work to do and I fully believe and support the efforts of stOOPS to figure it out. Lots of football left to be played and we've got a lot of time to get this right. Florida is a tough place to play and much like Aleppo, it's tough to come out of there without getting burned. The fans are great and stand behind this program and thats the most humbling part to me, to see all of the support flooding into my office and for coach stOOPS. Let's evaluate later and just get behind these kids and support this program. We've got New Mexico State next week and that should be a good one."

Typical PC stuff.

I've been reading this ******** for years.

Mitch has the nerves to call out the fan base calling us a microwave society but in reality 2 of his major coaching hires came from the microwave mindset. 1. Gave Stoops contract extension prematurely without Stoops proving anything to deserve the extension.. 2. Billy G was hired because for the win over UL at Rupp in the NCAA tourney. Cal sitting around waiting on Mitch to call and he goes after Billy who hasn't made it past the sweet 16 of the ncaa tourney. He is 1/4 on coaching hires for our money making programs.

I've said this before, Barnhart's only real skill is raising money and getting projects done. He should have upgraded facilities for Brooks when he had the chance, but our basketball team was a dumpster fire with Gillespie and required his attention. However, he get's projects done and raises private money extremely well.

Everything else, he doesn't understand. He doesn't know how to hire. Up and coming just doesn't cut it in the SEC anymore, in basketball or football. An up and coming coach like Gillespie should have never been hired. His only good hire, Cal, was made with a gun to his head. Well now we have some nice new facilities, so we should be able to attract some good big names if we shell out the cash. The problem is Barnhart considers himself judge, jury, and executioner. His holier than thou attitude has rubbed donors and boosters the wrong way since he got here. Until the fans speak loud and clear (donations, season tix) I doubt the board or president would have the balls to can him.

Our basketball program and fans alone makes our university a premier AD job. I truly believe that. We get the right AD, and we could take our athletics to some great new heights.

Don't sell Mitch short. He's pretty good at wasting money too.

I give Mitch 0 credit for Cal hire.

That you Gary Johnson?

That you Gary Johnson?

Gary Johnson is terrible as I tried to tell the libertarians on the political board. He's anti-gun, pro BLM, foreign policy know nothing and I'm glad he exposed how ignorant he is.

No, I'm not Gary Johnson.

Anyone who doesn't see this is brain dead. He should have been fired when he decided to extend the contract of Stoops based on nothing but loses. Now is now. The future of football at UK is now, not next year, not the year after that. Their is not another AD in the SEC or another school president, or fan base in the SEC that would accept the team that UK puts out on the field for it's alumni to support.

How can anyone support Barnhart? I am sure Stoops is a good man but it was Barnhart who gave him the contract extension. He didn't ask for it , it was Barnhart.

Why can't people see that until Barnhart is run out of town, nothing will change. He either has no understanding of the SEC or has no respect for the UK fans and alumni to hire a first time coach and expect him to succeed in the SEC who's slogans are two, Eat or Be Eaten, and my favorite, If you ain't cheating, you ain't trying.

The heat should be on Barnhart who called the people who want a football program microwave fans. The only thing that should be in the microwave is Barnhart.

Don't be hoodwinked, sidetracked, the problem in Barnhart.

You are 100% correct. However you must keep in mind that Mr. Barnhart has wasted millions on sports that nobody cares a thing about. This means that he has the favor of those who control the purse strings and since they don't understand college sports any better than he does it means that he is not going anywhere and it also means that as long as he is here the football program is doomed.
