I realize Barnett is no angel, but he did have to try and clean up the Neuheisel mess in Boulder. Looking at the condition in which Slick Rick left Washington's program, it appears Barnett did a fairly decent job against a stacked deck.
no doubt that Barnett is a decent to good coach. Look at what he did at Northwestern....
but chances are he didn't try to clean up what Neuheisal did. So there is a mess on top of a mess. But at this point in time, the Neuheisal stuff is ancient news...
