I agree.

Barnhart has done better with other sports at UK, but the major sports would be crap if he wasn't forced to take actions.

Barnhart loved Tubby, who got us wins, but never made any runs in the NCAA tournament. Then he hires Gillispie, who was an alcoholic golfer that had a bad attitude and treated the players like crap. He would've never hired Calipari if he wasn't pretty much forced to do. He didn't fund enough $$$ into the football program, so UK hasn't been able to make the move forward in competiting yearly with other SEC teams.

UK is a basketball school, but we have a very eager fan base that wants to be good at football too. Is that really too much to ask?

IMO, the reason Barnhart should have been fired was because he not only hired Gillispie, he allowed him to coach while refusing to sign a contract. That was idiotic and idiots should not be managing huge budgets that are publicly funded. No contract. No pay. C'ya. That would have been the proper way to have handled the Gillispie fiasco.
