Yeah that is typically what happens when you are looking for a new job.

He's ONLY got $2.4 million coming in from AU over the next 4 years. How much are any of us likely to receive in that 4 year period?

Barbee just found out the same thing that some others had to learn.
He thought Auburn was a good opportunity.
He found out otherwise, but he has a stash of cash for his troubles.

I think FAU or FIU can become a good b-ball job considering the location.

It is not Barbee doing the tweeting. It is whoever tweets for him. Read the article

And Auburn found out the same thing others already knew.
Barbee was an overrated coach.

I tend to look somewhere in between, Auburn was a bad fit for Barbee.

Barbee got the money.
Auburn got the hot coach flavor of the month.
It didn't work out for either of them.

I believe Auburn has the right coach this time.

Auburn can be a good opportunity, especially with a good coach like Pearl

Ok, I'll play along. The article says that Barbee rarely tweeted for himself but that most of his tweets were handled by Auburn's executive director of basketball (whatever that is). Since he is no longer at Auburn, who would be handling his tweets other than his agent or himself?
RE: Barbee pimping himself out for FAU job? - Memphis Blazer - 03-25-2014 02:40 PM
It could still be the same guy that did it before.

How about the same guy?
After all, Auburn gets a big discount on the rest of his contract if he's a head coach somewhere else.

Hope he gets the FAU job........LOL
RE: Barbee pimping himself out for FAU job? - BAMANBLAZERFAN - 03-25-2014 04:34 PM
FAU might just be happy to get Barbee since his record at UTEP was good enough to get the AU job and no one has done all that well at AU. If he should get the job, AU might get out from under some portion of the buy out. It could turn out to be a win-win-win for them all.
