Don I maybe missing something here, but how does contacting Coach Barnes prove his value? Don't get me wrong, I like the hire, if he can get us a big I will like it big time! (yes pun intended).
I think you'll find that AB is one who made contact with Burno. Just more of the "hey look at me, I'm important" crap from him. We'd be better off if we forgot Barnes ever existed. Just a blowhard who enjoys vastly overstating his importance.
