UCLA’s Dan Guerrero Blows It Again: Rick Barnes Staying at Tennessee

Same tune, different verse.

Reports have come out that Rick Barnes has decided to stay at Tennessee, spurning the advances of Dan Guerrero and the UCLA Bruins.

UCLA reportedly offered Barnes a $5 million a year contract to leave Knoxville and come to Westwood, but after conversations with Tennessee AD Phillip Fulmer, Barnes made the choice to return.

Of course, it should be noted that Phil Fulmer only came to become the AD after the previous AD botched a football coaching search so badly that he was fired and Fulmer was put in place to make the next hire.
