ESPN reports Barnes out at Texas...

Cue the bidding war between the Longhorns and Alabama for Marshall.

Hope he ends up in Starkville

Baseball isn't much different from basketball, right?

SO glad we are not on the street looking for a coach right now.

I'm just glad we got howland when we did. Texas and tenn are open and I'd say it's likely witchita state comes open soon.

he runs something similar to the stansbury stall. won't be good for scoring.

The stars were aligned and everything came together at the right time for us and I agree.

If Marshall leaves Wichita State, then he should end up at Texas. Bama was worried that Texas would fire Barnes and Texas is Bama's worse nightmare concerning Bama's attempt to get Marshall.

Barnes could end up at UT. A change of scenery could do him well and bring some much needed stability to Knoxville.

I think Marshall would leave for Texas. He's been holding out for a major job and this might be it.

Not disagreeing, but I hope he understands the politics involved at Texas (Longhorn Network, alumni, etc.).. Lots of big money pulling strings down that way..

Bama could hire Barnes and have themselves a damn good coach that is capable of getting them to the dance every year. But I doubt their egos would allow them to do it.

At least we had to get ahead to use the stall.

Marshall is used to big money. Koch Industries is based in Wichita and the university's arena is named after one of the Koch brothers.

Exactly. Charles is worth over $40B and is consistently in the top 10 in the world, along with his brother who has another $40B.

Honestly this is the funniest thing ever to me who lives in Alabama. The "Battle Plan" does not look like it works. Yet another AD Stricklin is dominating in the SEC. Alabama has been talking a big game about how they are going to get "the next Bruce Pearl" because they are jealous of Auburn Basketball. This seals their fate of going through something similar to what we went through in 2012 after Stansbury left. And honestly thats fine with me. Coleman Coliseum is a complete joke. Not only are you second fiddle to football but the facilities suck and the alabama fanbase rarely ever shows up to basketball games. If I was Alabama I would hire Barnes but their ego will get in the way. AL.com thinks they may go after LA Tech Coach. Which I would laugh if thats who they get!
