Looking at past seasons, he seems to be the best coach Crest had. Kirby wasn't bad either even though Crest dropped classes. He must have been something for Tommy Knotts to grab him as defensive coordinator. These days Crest seems to be enamored with those eastern NC coaches with the country charm but struggling offenses.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and mine is that Coach Barnes was and still is the best coach Crest ever had.
