Texas doesn't deserve to make it beating OK State or not

It's amazing how much Barnes career at Texas has paralleled Mack Brown.

They hire both coaches from the Carolinas within the same year.

They both bring immediate success to underachieving programs. (Barnes won the Big 12 Title in '99 and Mack had a Heisman winner and Cotton Bowl win)

They both raised the bar in the recruiting landscape and started owning their state.

Obviously both became national powers at one point or another.

Tons of pro players coming through there after rough years.

And then they both had similar declines. The denial existed, and reality is setting in.

Barnes was great for the program. he certainly elevated the status. It's just time for them to move on I think.
