OM's Barney Farrar

[57stratdawg]

Rumors are he's been canned. If memory serves, he's the guy Tunsil was suppose to contact for the light bill.

 

[engie]

Time to start singing like a songbird now

 

[msstate7]

Well I'm no rosebowl, but I'd guess this means the new NOA finally made it to town. It'll be interesting if some "injuries" pop up around game time Saturday night

 

[aTotal360]

Some clown on their 24/7 board says Leo Lewis "ratted him out". Jimmies. Rustled.

Please tell me Barney offered Leo money to commit.

Yep. They certainly didn't wait till now to fire him for anything in the old letter.

 

[57stratdawg]

If your OM, it's time to start lining up those "accrued payroll" accounts for ole Barney.

Drag those out for a couple months/year. Find a good Rebel in Jackson willing to offer him a job. Get some lawyers involved to tighten up the ship. Done.

 

[tatedog]

Probably just a temporary leave of absence while he gathers and prepares Opportunity Fund paperwork.

This is the night that lights went out in Oxford...

 

[Uncle Ruckus]

Wouldn't surprise me if Leo was one of the rumored people to receive immunity. If that really is the case I hope he took money just to commit before signing with us. That would be hilarious.

 

[tatedog]

Also interesting timing. To those who conjectured that Patterson playing meant the heat was totally off that situation, does this indicate instead that his playing is a reason for acceleration of NCAA movement on the 2nd NOA/amendment? I haven't really been keeping up, just asking.

 

[Xenomorph]

Bears' website says ole Barney plays a "[FONT=&quot]vital role in recruiting, which has helped Ole Miss land four straight top-15 signing classes, including the 2013 and 2016 hauls that ranked top five in the nation."

So let's see... Barney gets canned along with the "vital role" he was providing from within the AD's office and the decommits start en masse.

Can anyone provide insight how the two are related?[/FONT]

 

[tatedog]

It's not anything major or related to recruiting. Probably just something minor and administrative like sending pictures of his penis to coeds.

 

[AlCoDog]

Always somebody else's fault. Every. Single. Time.

 

[aTotal360]

Barney worked closely with the women's bball team. I'm sure it's related. ***

 

[coach66]

Had a new friend tell me the letter had arrived a week or two ago. We will

see I guess.

 

[coach66]

He is key to their success. His connections in JUCO and high schools in the

area are top notch. He is the East Miss. thorn.

 

[msstate7]

Hopefully wolken is pushing a FOIA

 

[thatsbaseball]

He`s the guy mentioned in Tunsil`s hacked texts (or whatever they were) on draft day...isn`t he ?

Yes

 

[patdog]

So, the new letter arrived about the time they leaked out that they "expect" to get an amendment or second letter. I'm sure that's just a coincidence.

Whether they've received the second letter yet or not, what we do know is there was nothing in the first letter or the Tunsil draft night fiasco that they felt was worth suspending or firing a coach over. And now they're suspending or firing one of the coaches whose name has come up over and over again in all this. There's clearly something that's about to be known that's worse than what ha come out already.

 

[Strike.sixpack]

David Johnson is confiming that he is on administrative leave

 

[coach66]

yes, he an another coach. One of the best recruiters in the country, he knows

how to get things done*.

 

[Junction John]

I googled Barney and found a pic. Not sure if this answers your question.

 

[coach66]

Hearing Yancy is calling it a precautionary move and that they are not concerned

nm

 

[Wizard.sixpack]

Hell if they have been playing this whole time, they're screwed anyway so might as well play them.

 

[tatedog]

Oh man, my side was hurting so bad.

 

[stateu1]

It is a good thing.

 

[Junction John]

I'm shocked he didn't say, "well, it doesn't look good folks. We may be in some real trouble here"

Shocked, I tell you.**

 

[Wizard.sixpack]

Now that is funny. At what point will they ever be concerned? When NCAA buries them I can hear it now. "Guy don't worry, this is a good thing. Trials will make us stronger in the long run."

 

[ckDOG]

Precaution required this the day after draft night.

Those dudes are thick.

 

[Drebin]

 

[patdog]

They haven't taken this "precautionary move" with any other coach over any other violation that was in the first letter or draft night. You bet your *** they're concerned if they thought they needed to do this now.

 

[OliveBranchDAWG]

"God must really love Barney Farrar."

 

[coach66]

My Ole Miss buddy says it's getting real on the Spirit right now. Yancy in a

little bit of a melt regarding not keeping his subscribers in the know, having to get their Ole Miss news off SPEDS.

 

[57stratdawg]

This one appears to be different since there could be direct pay-for-play implications.

 

[jb1020]

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but isnt Barney

the coach that doesn't actually coach on the field? OM got a special waiver to hire him for that position? But their excuse was that another one of their coaches has a special needs child and that coach isn't able to stay out on the recruiting trail?

 

[Col. Forbin]

Yes, I believe it was Wommack that they took off the road and Barney fills that spot.

 

[patdog]

having to get their Ole Miss news off SPEDS.

That's hilarious.

Yep. Isn't it's ironic that their recruiting only "coach" is the first domino to fall.
