Smart has never won a regular season championship. Barnes could be in the HOF someday.It doesn't get mentioned enough just how bad UT blew the hirings of Smart and Strong. Both good mid major guys but in over their heads in the p5. Strong was a bad hire from the get go (He rode Teddy Bridgewater to Austin) but Smart seemed like a home run. I thought he would excel.
