Not a shock. 3 hours from his hometown, that's about what I expected to happen.

Maybe he can outlast the last guy they hired.

The problem is Tennessee's roster is terrible (especially for Barnes' style of play). 

Josh Richardson was the only decent player on the roster and he's gone. 

No way Barnes will be able to win with that roster until a couple years down the line.

Kentucky twice a year instead of Kansas.
