Vols fire Donnie Tyndall

The Tennessee Volunteers have fired Donnie Tyndall, as the basketball coach is "highly likely" to be found responsible for NCAA violations stemming from his time at Southern Miss, the school announced Friday morning.

For those wondering why Tennessee fired Donnie Tyndall this morning, this is why.

@Ben_Fred: Termination letter: Tyndall admitted to deleting emails in November that were subject of NCAA questioning.

And your morning laugh comes from 247 Sports....

Wouldn't surprise me if Alabama in the hunt for a big hire has helped persuade Tennessee to pull the trigger sooner.

Violations with Pearl at UT and Tyndall at Southern Miss have the Vol nation in a mess. Wonder when Hart gets let go for the hire? Look for them to go after Travis Ford.

Look for them to go after Travis Ford.

What led you to that thought?

@TerrP He is not the golden boy at Okie St. any longer. He is from western Ky. played at UK and coached at Eastern Ky. A mutal friend told me more but I will not post it right now.

Former Texas coach Rick Barnes finalizing deal with Tennessee

Rick Barnes is on the verge of going from Texas to Tennessee. (USATSI)
Tennessee has offered its opening to Rick Barnes and, barring a late snag in negotiations, the former Texas coach is expected to accept, a source told CBSSports.com.

A deal could be finalized by the end of Monday, a source said.

Barnes made 16 NCAA Tournament appearances in 17 years at Texas before formally resigning his position under pressure Sunday afternoon. He peaked in 2003 -- when T.J. Ford led the Longhorns to the Final Four. That's the positive on his resume. But the negative is that Barnes only escaped the opening weekend of the NCAA Tournament five times in the past 17 seasons. His last Sweet 16 came in 2008.

Barnes, 60, was, prior to Texas, the coach at George Mason, Providence and Clemson. He was the CAA coach of the Year in 1987 and the Big 12 Coach of the Year in 1999, 2003, 2008 and 2014. But this season's team that underachieved ultimately convinced Texas' administration that a change in leadership was needed, sources told CBSSport.com. So Barnes was essentially removed at Texas and thus available to pursue the Tennessee job that opened last week when Donnie Tyndall was fired after one season because of NCAA violations he allegedly committed while coaching at Southern Miss.

Barnes just threw a kink in the coahing changes.

If Mama ain't happy, nobody's happy. Mama is probably very happy. Candy Barnes is an alumnus. Of ut, not UT.
