8-9 and 0-4 in conf. Is this finally the year that UT dumps this underachiever? He is the definition of being just good enough. Time to go Rick.

been time, years ago. texas is booming with bball talent, and he's getting some of them and underachieving with those players. Too good of talent to struggle at Texas in football or basketball.

If your a big12 fan, u want them to keep barnes.

The athletic department is claiming he has a "young team" (same excuse that they use for the football team).

I don't know how you can have Kevin Durant and DJ Augustin on your team and only advance as far as the Sweet Sixteen.

It really is incredible at the big 3 at Texas. Augie is the only one that has his teams at a high level, but he is an embarrassment to the program. Mack and Barnes are really just kind of sad at this point. UT has the most money in athletics and one of the richest recruiting beds, and this is the best they can do??? Deloss needs to go too.

barnes was on his way to a final four until he ran into the greatest mind in college athletics in the elite 8.

Texas always has some of the top recruits, yet never does anything with them

Durant, Aldridge, DJ, Tristan Thompson, etc.

I will say that Texas is one of those places where one-and-done's go....except they only usually have one a year, not like Kentucky where they restock every single year.

So Barnes is always stuck with freshmen and sophomores

Rick Barnes has taken his name out of consideration for the A&M job.

Beating Duke and Texas within 48 hours to go to the final four was the greatest thing ever.

That was a team that was in rebuilding mode after losing a ton of players from the previous year.

They only made it to the second round with Durant.

Barnes has a year left after this one to right the ship. He's got one of the youngest rosters in the country and his best player is effectively suspended for most of the season.

That being said, I still think he sucks.

Does it really matter? Texas would not support their bball team even if they were a dominant program.
