UK Assistant Tony Barbee is Still Highly Despised by Auburn Fans

According to Brian Stultz of SEC Country, UK assistant Tony Barbee is still highly despised by Auburn fans.

Stultz says Barbee, who was 49-75 overall at the Tigers’ head coach, was “unearned arrogance wrapped in expensive suits.”

Check out his comments:

The Barbee tenure was full of disdain, and it came from both sides. As the leader of the program, he was never one to sell his product to the fan base. As its spokesman, his press conference were full of empty quotes and animosity for anyone who dared ask a challenging question. Criticism of any facets of himself were poo-pooed while he would have no problem pointing out a player’s fault at any time.
